I don’t believe it is always just the breed, I believe it is the owner. These dogs are trained to behave this way. Some pit bulls are very sweet.

“These dogs are trained to behave this way.”

This is a rash and unwarranted allegation.

Do there exist publicized reports of dog owners having taken the trouble to “train” their dogs to viciously and violently attack people? Undoubtedly the dogs trained to behave in this manner would represent several breeds, but so far as I am able to remember I have not read of this claim being asserted in defense of dogs other than pit bulldogs.
And, BTW, what is the basis of that title for this dog breed? Was American Staffordshire Terrier, or whatever, concocted for the purpose of lending them a more genteel sheen?

That's what past neighbors of ours said even after they attacked my wife and her dog putting her in the hospital and her dog with over 100 stitches.
