I own 3 pits, i'm not gunna say that they're gentle, because god knows i'd be lying. Are they loving? Hell yes, just like any dog, if you respect them they'll respect you. Would I let my dogs outside on a leash? Hell no, they'd find a way off their leash and it's very much possible that they WOULD attack something/someone.
I will say that my biggest dog (homer) is around 115lb's. Overall he's a nice dog when it comes to humans, but i've seen him fit his mouth around the head of another pit in a split second. We used to keep him on a leash until he kept finding out how to get off (I dunno how). Anyways he got off one night, and I hear a knock at my door, a group of kids.. ages 5-10 (ish) standing there holding homer (bigger than all of them may I add). I gave em 20 bucks for bringing him back to me, and they all ran off. I just don't think I would feel too good if that had turned into another "pit kills kid" situation, and eversince we've kept them in the house.
About the name change though... I sure as hell aint callin em that.
