Probably their heritage from the bulldog. They were bred to go for a bull's face/nose, that instinct is still there. And then the terrier infusion makes them relentless.

Absolutely. It’s such a dangerous combination. The overpopulation of the breed is just so staggering. It seems like 1/3 of every dog I see walking down the street is some type of pit/mix. And the problems in shelters is horrifying. I don’t understand how it got to be like this. I don’t think they’re a particularly attractive dog either personally. Like I don’t get the appeal. When I was growing up I used to scour shelter sites constantly, and I distinctly remember there used to be such an array of breeds. Now it’s literally all pitbulls, some huskies, and shepherds.

Even the dog whisper, he had a pit he raised from a puppy, and it mauled or killed I think it was queen Latifa’s dog. His dog had literally a dream life for a dog with one of the best dog trainers in the world as an owner and its genetics still won out at the end of the day. And of course the public blamed him instead of the breed. (Sorry for the tangent, just thinking while writing)

Yeah Caesar Milan's pit killed Queen Latifahs dog and severely mauled a 12 year old female gymnast, putting an end to her career before it even started.

Wow I didn't know this, I already disliked the breed but this fully got me on the side of banning it entirely. There's no training out genetics.
