Why Some Pit Bulls are Aggressive
from: The Complete DogPit Bulls commonly demonstrate a certain amount of aggressive behavior when confronted with another dog that is a stranger to them. It's simply inherent in their nature and a trait that was bred into them for many generations past when they were bred as fighting dogs, but it's now a difficult trait to possess. However, even though they were bred to fight, it doesn't mean they're vicious dogs -- not at all. On the other hand, it's accurate that many Pit Bulls are naturally confident and sometimes aggressive toward other dogs. It's also accurate to say that most Pit Bulls will be inclined to try to win a fight should another dog start it.
A Pit Bull that came from a genetic line that produced fighting dogs are more predisposed to this atitude than those who came from lines not selected for fighting in the most recent generations. Regardless of how long it's been since a Pit Bull's ancestors were fighters, the instinct and ability remains. It's in his blood and one of the original reasons he existed. Therefore always remember that even the most gentle and calm Pit Bull who'd never start a fight will also never back down from a fight another dog tries to start.
Every breed of dog is inclined to behave the way its genes have programmed it to behave. It's therefore irresponsible on the part of any Pit Bull owner to refuse to accept this fact. Denying a Pit Bull's heritage tendency for gameness and toughness is the same as denying a Golden Retriever has a tendency to retrieve. However, retrievers aren't the only breed who are inclined to retrieve, in the same way that Pit Bulls aren't the only breed with an inclination to fight. If you have no desire to own a dog that has possible aggressive or fighting tendancies with other dogs, then definitely don't have more than one Pit Bull.
Since there are so many types of dog breeds, there's going to be a lot of of variations. There are many Pit Bulls who will have no problem getting along just fine with other dogs, but there are those who won't get along with them at all and there are lots of other breeds who tend to be much less tolerant of living with other dogs than Pit Bulls.
So remember, Pit Bulls brought up in a fighting environment or those that came from a fighting line will likely be the most inclined to be aggressive toward other dogs and other breeds raised in a friendly home, who came from a gentle line, may not get along with other dogs.
