I have owned APBT's for over 30 yrs. and I don't believe I would put one in a teenagers hands. No matter how responsible a teen is I don't know that they have the depth of experience to make the judgement's needed to keep the dog out of trouble. You can't paint all APBT's with the same brush, there are as many variables as with people. I know that I take the extra responsibilites that come with owning this breed but I'm not sure a teen can grasp all that. The learning curve can be very steep. As you can see by some of the posts, peoples impressions of this breed are seasoned by sometimes 1 or 2 bad experiences. I bred very few times over the years but temperment was always the top requirement. Many breeders have excused bad traits if other things impressed them and that is why you get some of those crackhead dogs. JMO
