Exactly. It's all how they are brought up as a pup. And all these pit bull attacks you hear of, the owner was a bit unsavory. The pits were kept in the cellar, the dog was tied outside all day, etc. Yet people are incredily opinionated when it comes to pit bulls. This isn't a great time for pit pulls right now. They are going through what German Shepherds went through in the 70s, what Doberman Pinschers went through in the 80s and what the Rottweiller went through in the 90s. It's profiling.

Mainly due to the fact these breeds were overbred as the pit bull has this in recent times. There are so many of them. These cases are rare, but when they do make news it makes HEADLINE NATIONAL NEWS. And it puts a scare into peoples's heads that all Pit bulls are dangerous. When in fact pit bulls have the highest ratings for temperament testing .
