    The American Pit bull terrier, Stafordshire Terrier, and American Staffordshire Terrier are all “pit bulls”. They are all near over 85% to 90% on the chart. Me and my pitts have known that for years 😌

      Yup. Us pittie owners know that no matter what, our dogs are getting blamed. Few months ago on a walk we had a collie escape from a yard and started jumping all over my girl (thankfully not biting). My girl just sat there looking at me like “uhhh, dad? Make him stop?”.

      Of course their owner started screaming bloody murder when my girl hadn’t even growled, let alone done anything else. It’s almost as if dogs aggressiveness is largely based on the environment they were raised in, and pittie owners are extra careful because, again, no matter what its our dogs getting blamed. Of course the people who get a dog to be a toy tend to get breeds like Goldens and GSDs, and then never bother to train them.
