    This is the question I absolutely hate, as the American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is not the most feared breed, the most feared breed is the dog that is TAUGHT to be mean. The most feared breed is a dog that is ALLOWED to run loose. The Pit and other Bully Breeds gets a bad rap because of people teach them to fight. It is not the breed it is the person. These people are animal abusers and until we stop, looking at the dog and look at the people that do this the problem will continue. If the pit bull is banned there will be another dog to take it place, the Doberman Pinscher the Rottweiler, German Shepard, Boxer, Bulldog, Bullmastiff, Chow chow, great Dane, Chinese Shar-Pei any large or small dog can be taught to fight. It you do research on the internet, you will fine that the Labrador retriever, Springer Spaniel, Cocker Spaniel, Collie and other cute little dogs are just as likely to attack as any other dog. When a American Staffordshire terrier and the Staffordshire bull terrier
    Attacks it becomes a media frenzy. I have worked in the animal rescue field for more than half my life. I am in and out of shelters daily. I have handled more American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier than you can imagine. I trust them more than I trust some of the other breed. I have been bitten more than once and nine times out of ten, it is some little yippy dog like Chihuahua or French Bulldog. Until we as intelligent human being start dealing with dog fighting industries and gambling that takes place because of these individuals the breeding of fighting dog will continue. We need to stop the problem where it starts. I have an American Staffordshire Terrier right now she is listed as my avatar. Her name is Miss Piggy. She was found wandering the streets of Newark NJ. She when found was emaciated, she had a prolapsed uterus, an enlarged heart and a heart murmur. They feel she was dumped on the street because she could no longer produce puppies and did not want to spend the money on her. Miss piggy has been with us for some time now. She comes on all of our adoption event. She spends her day with two cats and a free roaming bunny and any where from 2 too 50 guinea pigs in her home, she has been awarded her good citizen award. In addition, she is a role model for her breed. I have met hundreds of dog that have been euthanized because no one will adopt them because or their bad wrap. I would also like to point out, that my family and I where ATTACKED in our own yard by what you all would call friendly breeds, it was a Boxer and a Labrador on Memorial Day weekend that were ALLOWED TO RUN LOOSE. This happened in New Egypt NJ. Case in point no media showed up at my home, but had my Pit-bull wandered down to someone else’s yard and went after their family and dog you bet your SWEET FANNY I would have made the head line.

    • I once visit a house with a beware of dog sign out front. A pit bull lived there. You had to beware of it because it would bull you over as it tried to make friends. It was a very nice dog. I agree. It's not the breed; it's the training.

    • Excellent answer, based on experience AND FACT! It should never be about a BAD Dog, but about BAD OWNERS - careless, reckless and highly unworthy of being responsible for either children OR animals!

    • while i agree that most cases are due to bad owners, that is like saying there are no bad people, only bad parents. this is not true. unfortunetly, SOME dogs can turn, for whatever reason. this is not always the fault of the owner.
