Aren Pit Bulls as a whole a dangerous and unstable breed?
No, in fact just the opposite. The American Temperament Test Society, Inc. (www.atts.org) is a national not-for-profit organization for the promotion of uniform temperament evaluation of purebred and spayed/neutered mixed-breed dogs. They temperament test thousands of dogs from all breeds each year and compile statistics based on the pass/fail percentage for all dogs tested. The results might surprise you. The American Pit Bull Terrier came in ahead of a great many breeds that are today’s most popular family pets. • 83.2% – American Pit Bull Terrier • 82.3% – German Shepard • 81.5% – Dalmatian • 78.8% – Border Collie • 77.8% – Beagle • 75.
