Why do people talk so badly about Pit Bulls? Dog Breed Discussions
If you want to look at temperament then you should know that the ATTS- American Temperament Test Society- shows that 85.3% of Pits passed the temperament test. Some of the lower scoring dogs were the Basenji (67.5%) Bearded Collie (53.3%) English Foxhound (66.7%) Lhasa Apso- a very common small lap dog (69.2%) Patterdale Terrier (66.7%) Scottish Terrier (63.6%) Skye Terrier (37.5%) Shetland Sheepdog (67.4%) Feist (50%) Walker Coonhound (62.5%). In all actuality- dogs that are considered dangerous breeds, really don't seem so dangerous anymore.Top Ten So-Called Dangerous Breeds-10. Dalmation 81.9%9. Boxer 83.6%8. Presa Canario 89.3%7. Chow Chow 71.3%6. Doberman Pinscher 74.4%5. Alaskan Malamute 84.4%4. Husky 86.8%3.German Shepard 83.7%2. Rottweiler 83.0%1. Pit Bull 85.3%These percentages are the percentage of dogs who PASSED the temperament test. I think America really needs to reanalyze some on their prejudices against Pit Bulls.It is also more likely that a Chihuahua will bite you than a Mastiff- so even though a Mastiff could injure you, you are still more likely to be bitten my a Chi or a Lhasa Apso- and I love Chihuahua's don't get me wrong, but they are by far some of the meanest most instigating dogs. I know I own one. And he picks fights with my Pit all the time.
