The biggest problem is as with everything, the media. Also, any "good, reputable" dog breeder will tell you, when a dog is bred out of its breed with another breed, a lot of times bad traits from both breeds will surface. Purebred pitbulls are good natured dogs, given the right upbringing. Nine times outta ten, when you see an attack in the news, the media has gotten hold of a story involving the absolute worst kind of POS mutt they can possibly find that's also led a horrible life at the end of a chain with a small doghouse IF he's been lucky. I can make most any breed look bad finding stories like that. I have seen ONE style of dog that's nor pure bred pit that's a good dog. A friend of mine in Macon has had several. Part pit and part english. He raises them right and they are the sweetest, slobberinest dumbasses you'll ever meet. Pits have certainly been used as the whipping boy of dogs in the news for sure. And they're not all bad by a long shot.
