Having worked at an animal shelter for over 20 years I have come in contact with many many "pit Bulls." I wont say that the breed is out to attack and fight at the drop of a hat, but I have seen many of them agressively try to attack other dogs.Unfortunately at times they were successful. When this happened the effects were disasterous because the Pitt Bull has extremely powerful jaws and once they latch on they wont let go! The result is not pretty. I am extremely cautious when I am around them because I have seen the damage they can do to another animal. They are also extremely fast when they attack.
Please know that I love all dogs, even the Staffordshire terriers , but please be aware of the dangers if something happens to trigger them to fight, and for some reason this breed seems very ready to fight. I will probably take a lot of heat for this post Im sorry if I offended any Pitt Bull owners, but I think it pays to be extra cautious.
on another note. this breed can be one of the most lovable, affectionate , breeds I have ever been in contact with.
