i do think you guys are forgetting the importance genetics plays in all of this. while i agree that the way a dog is raised and trained is important, a dog's genetic makeup is also very important.
a pit bull can be raised in a horrific environment and suffer tremendous abuse and still be a sane stable dog, seemingly a lot moreso than many other breeds. on the flipside, a dog of poor breeding can be temperamentally unsound no matter how it's raised. yes it will have a better chance and probably do better if it is given all the best chances at being well-adjusted, but being raised well alone is no guarantee.
part of the pit bull problem is that there are so many bad breeders breeding poorly-tempered dogs.
