Oh for crying out loud. Pit bulls DO NOT have a tendency to be aggressive. ANY dog does, It's not how you raise them it depends on genetics. Sorry Tye you are getting the short end of the stick here and I am sorry I invited you here.

Yes, they DO have that potential to be aggressive, due to bad breeding, and training. So do great danes, poodles, labradors, any dog. But, APBT's have slightly more potential, due to their fighting background, unfortunatly.
It IS how you raise them. If I wanted my poodle to be aggressive, I could train him/her that way, by rewarding any aggressive behavior that she showed. As for APBT's it's genetics, AND how you raise them -that plays a huge role on the dog they come to be.

Dog aggression and Human aggression are VERY different. A sound dog will never turn on you. Where do you get your information? Pit bulls were bred to bait bulls originally and then were fought but they were bred to be human friendly when people fight dogs, they would pull them off the dog and they woudln't bite them. They used to be America's top dog. There are many pit bull service dogs and I do not think they have the potential to be aggressive.

http://www.atts.org/stats1.html APBTs look they pass more than a lot of breeds out there. No sound dog no matter what breed turns on you. A lot of the BSL is from the media and the reporters cause it by publishing the stories. You know a lot of people these days can't tell what a true APBT is. APBTs are not the dogs with huge heads and big bodies.

A true APBT is a medium size dog and they are the biggest people pleasers and lovers. I just don't understand why you guys are berating her
