16.11. Myth – “Pit Bulls” Will Attack Their Owners
Based on our first-hand experience with dogs that are commonly and incorrectly referred to as “Pit Bulls” and our research, we disagree.
For fact based information, see http://pitbullsfactormyth.net/16-6-1-canine-aggression-tests/.
We have rescued sixteen (16) American Staffordshire Terriers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers and numerous mutts that are typically referred to as “Pit Bulls” and have yet to have one attack us. Our experience with them exceeds 100 dog-years, i.e., a dog-year being sheltering one dog for one year, since we started keeping records.
