When we boarded the Pitts for our clients the Pitts played with the Dr's Chi's & a couple of those Chi's were pretty obnoxious as far as thinking they were big mean dogs, they would often go after the Pitties actually biting at their legs & feet & never , not once did any of those Pitties ever try to harm or even show any kind of aggression towards the Chi's. So again, I will say this is misinformation. |

It literally will take ten seconds of legitimate research (that means NOT from the pibble people who believe they can do no wrong) to find that they were bred for animal aggression. Because you met a few who were watered down or may not have been APBT at all and were not aggressive to other dogs does NOT make it typical of the breed.
It does the breed a huge disservice to underestimate a genetic predisposition to dog on dog aggression and puts dogs at risk because it is important that proper caution is exercised.
Note I did not say the breed is prone to human aggression- they are not. They were bred to be very loving to their master and very loyal. But not to other animals.
