What she said: Dog aggression toward other dogs isn’t, as I said above, necessarily a breed specific trait but it is incredibly common in the American Pit Bull Terrier and related breeds. Why? Well, this breed was specifically bred for the specific purpose of being a canine gladiator many moons ago. Often people want to deny the actual history of the original bull-and-terrier crosses and the associated breed traits but the reality is there. They were bred for battle against another animal and/or another canine. They may have performed other duties in home and often times, pit dogs were fine until actually put into the pit as they knew their job and one would have never known the dog had the abilities it did unless one was in attendance at a dog fight. work-a-bull/?p=1351
