In my opinion, anyone who denies the possibility of dog aggression in a
pit bull, or who sugar coats them and acts like they are short haired
muscular Golden Retrievers, is only hurting the breed. No, every pit
bull will not be dog aggressive. But the chances of them becoming so at
some point in their lives are much higher than of a Golden.
You can't take hundreds of years of breeding for a specific
trait and just ignore it. Do you expect a border collie not to herd? A
hound not to smell/ hunt? A greyhound not to chase small animals? A
retriever not to retrieve?
No, not every example of those
breeds will have the traits as strongly as others, but unless they are very poorly bred they will usually have something. When pit bulls
originated, if they didn't have any dog aggression, they weren't bred.
Nowadays they are bred no matter what, but a trait that was that
specifically selected for for that long does not just disappear.
NOTE: I am NOT talking about human aggression. Totally different
ballgame, and NO pit bull should be human aggressive. They ARE
intelligent enough to know the difference...
