Pit bulls can be aggressive, especially when protecting their territory or people. So can goldens, poodles, labs, etc. The American Staffordshire Terrier can be a sweet, loving, protective pet. They have to have a strong handler and one who is willing to train the dog. Personally, I really like pit bulls. I've not found them to be any meaner or more aggressive than any other dog breed that is known for being protective, as long as they are well trained. I trust them far more than a chihuahua, several of which I've seen turn on owners and family members.
