This paints an unfair picture of the breed when other breeds and mixes are mistakenly identified as American Pit Bull Terriers. We see and hear too many headlines with the phrase “Pit Bull” being used and rarely is the breed verified through actual kennel club registration. The name “Pit Bull” in this article refers to American Pit Bull Terriers themselves, not the overgeneralization of the term used in the media (as the term “Pit Bull” is often applied by the media to multiple working breeds and mixes). There were nearly a thousand Pit Bulls alone (not including other breeds) that were tested in their studies.
BLACK AND WHITE AMERICAN PITBULL TERRIER SERIES
This is based on a series of temperament tests carried out on literally thousands of dogs from a wide variety of breeds to scientifically test their stability.
According to the ATTS, Pit Bulls even outscored breeds like Golden Retrievers for example.
In fact, the American Temperament Test Society rated American Pit Bull Terriers as one the most stable dog breeds in the world, taking the #2 spot just below Labrador Retrievers. It is a breed that is often unfairly discriminated against in the media, but anyone who has owned an American Pit Bull Terrier knows what an amazing breed this is. These companion dogs are very loyal and loving to their family members. The American Pit Bull Terrier is a breed known for its athleticism, courage, and intelligence.
