i have owned 15 american pit bull terriers, 4 american bull dogs,a bunch of small breed dogs.also a boxer/dalmation mix.they all were good dogs.some of pits where really animal aggersive.my boxer mix was very human aggersive.small dogs are alot more aggreivse then people would like to think.the just are not big enough to do alot of damage.the media is bad because anything that even looks cose to a pit gets called one.i have been to the shelters many times.if it looks slightly like one it most be.
