With their terrier aggression and any retained killer instinct, they would need someone in control just like all big, powerful dogs do or they might be considered one of the most dangerous breeds to humans and other pets.
But at least we no longer breed them for the killer or more vicious aspect of their temperament and yet it's amazing how terrier-like they remain even today! Speaks volumes about how those still breeding big, powerful bully-types for horrible fighting skills are hurting the breed they love by keeping those particular genes new and continually refreshed! |
Stop buying the stereotype....MOST Pit owners are good. APBTs are just so popular right now that the bad stand out. Do your research, please....pits were ORIGINALLY. Known as "nanny dogs" because of their loyalty to humans.
Easily the most misunderstood breed in history. I would be trusted my Child's life with my Pit. She would've died for my firstborn.
