Pitbulls are like AR15s. If someone is shot by a shoulder arm it is an AR15 and if they are bitten, it is a pit bull.I have no doubt Pitbulls are much better hunters. The number of dead and maimed people that they stack up every year is certainly a tribute to their hunting abilities.
Bull terriers were not originally bred just to be companion dogs. Anytime terrier is put into a new bred, especially with bulldog, it is almost also related to ratting, hunting or fighting.
The dog show and pet breeders like to dumb down breeds.
My group is strongly discouraged from showing our dogs since it is assume that is a good way to wreck any type of farm dog.
