im thinking this should have been a poll on what ppl believe about the situation.

im definitely in the its the owner not the dog category. i had a red nose pit a few years ago that i had gotten from a family who was abusive towards him. they had tried cutting his ears to make him look tough but failed miserably so he always had trouble with them, but thankfully they left the tail intact (well maybe not so thankfully since that thing hurt when he hit you while he was excited, and he was exited a lot). but despite being abused by the previous owners he turned out to be one of the best dogs ive ever owned, him and a female siberian husky/wolf mix i had are pretty much tied. he never growled, bit or barked in a mean spirited way towards anyone and there was always someone new for him to meet. he loved playing and being in a happy mood and was a great companion for us. i only got rid of him because we moved and werent allowed any pets there but i do miss the guy.

but i do have to say that i agree in a small part that pits do have it in their genes to be aggressive but thats because ppl only bred aggressive pits to aggressive pits to make aggressive pits and unfortunately theres an abundance of those offspring around but as time goes by more and more ppl are less worried about aggressiveness and more concerned about furthering the breed in a positive way.
