Hello, Im doing a college paper on the misconception of pitbulls. I would love to hear the other side of the issue for a contrast. If anyone has an opinion on pitbulls that disagree with my statement of "I love pitbulls, they are great dogs and not all of them are agressive." It would be appreciated!

I agree with dontknownuthin's assessment. Pit Bull's have in fact been bred for aggression. Much like a Lab has been bred to enjoy the water. Not all Labs do enjoy it but the vast majority will. You can raise a pefectly healthy/happy Lab and never let it swim. You can also raise a perfectly docile and loveable pit. Both breeds have a propensity for the purpose in which they were bred though. Given that basis, why would someone want a dog that has been genetically manipulated for a purpose that they do not want the animal to exhibit? Can they make good loving pets? Absolutely!!! Is there an underlying disposition that may be undesirable? Certainly. So, I'd personally much rather raise a Lab and run the risk of it swimming against my will than raise a Pit and have it attack an innocent person against my will.
