You cannot compare the behavior of a wild animal versus a domesticated animal.

Actually, Pit Bulls are one of the most well-behaved, well-trained dogs out there, to both their…Read More owners and their familes, if they are trained to be that way.
Only drawback to Pits, though, is that they drool a lot, just like any other hunting dog out there.
Back in 2009, there was a story in Berkeley about how a Pit Bull saved her owner's life in a house fire, and all anybody could see was that it was a Pit Bull and nothing more.
If you train a dog to have a nice and sweet disposition, guess what, the dog will have a nice and sweet disposition.
And if you train a dog to fight, maim and kill, guess what it's gonna do?
Doesn't matter the breed.
I've known Dachshunds who were mean and resorted to biting in an instant as I have known Pit Bulls who were nice--but slobbered a lot.
And about the only reason that Pits have the reputation that they do out there is more to do with the viewpoint of the person who believes that all Pits are dangerous to begin with and that perhaps one of their other biases may be a work here, like they hate people whom they believe to be "trash" or "thugs" perhaps, but that's more an indication of their prejudice than their experience with these dogs or any other breed out there.
I've known Springer Spaniels out there that started out as sweet dogs with nice dispositions, but as they aged and their brians atrophied into cancer, they turned into vicious dogs and had to be put down.
Like people, dogs are individuals, too.
