Did you ever think that she is picking up on your discomfort? Just as she can read if someone is a little "off" she can also read if you are feeling uncomfortable.
As far a pit bull temperment, they were never bred as a guardian breed so in all reality, the vast majority of pit bulls are friendly to a fault, but I've also handled my fair share of pit bulls that will pick up a weird vibe off of someone, even when I don't. If you are curious, I would say that that is NOT typical of pit bull temperement. My dogs are all friendly to everyone to the point that it's a bit rediculous. I live in a really rough area with alot of street folks, many who are often "off" and they are just as freindly to them as anyone else. They're usually too busy trying to get some lovin's to be concerned about much, but then again, I chalk that up to me being very confident regarldess of my surroundings! lol
Personally, I don't think this is a non issue, considering you live in a province where your dog is basically a pariah. For her own safety, if it was my dog, I'd either work on it, or put her away when people come over. According to the law, if someone complained, who knows if they'd take action. According to the law, I don't even think she has to bite to be in trouble. Wasn't there some clause about a dog being "threatening"? I'd have to read over it again..
