Being a dog trainer and a behavorist, I tend to let people have their own opinions about pitbull terriers, but I like to add that not all dogs are who the owner makes them.  Genetics play a HUGE part in aggression, especially animal aggression.  The Pitbulls in this country ARE aggressive by nature, it is unavoidable when you have years and years of breeding to make them this way.  The pitbull was bred for fighting, for pulling, for aggression.  It does not make them bad dogs for having a tendency to be aggressive, but they have the potetial to become something that is dangerous in the wrong hands, or even to an inexperienced hand. 

When the public starts understanding the pitbull breed and accepting that terriers are aggressive by nature, genetics, they will better understand and be able to manage, instead of eradicate, a potentially wonderful human companion. 

I myself do not like pitbulls, not because of thier media hype, but because of my experiences training them.  I have seen what they can do to another dog and how much they ENJOY the aggression.  It wasn't until I really starting understanding the pitbull's genetic makeup that I made a decision to steer clear of the breed.  I am not saying they are all terrible, man eating, ferocious, savage, foaming at the mouth kind of dogs, just that they CAN and most likely WILL be aggressive when a situation presents itself, just as any terrier will.

I totally agree with you. It's always the owner - regardless of the breed.
