Pit owners ignore breed characteristics. I've seen multiple times where people try to educate them about dogs being bred for certain jobs like retrieving, herding, tracking, fighting, eyc and dogs excel at whatever they were bred for., and can be pretty bad at what they were not bred for. For example, poodles were initially hunting dogs. I can get my dog to play fetch and bring the ball back to me as well as find a hidden toy playing the find it game. However, my dog will never try to herd a child or an animal. I can take him to a herding school, but he still would not be good at doing that because that's not his breed characteristic. I have a friend with a border collie that loves to herd things. It was like the dog bred to do that it enjoys it so much. Pitbull were bred to be fighting dogs. That's the breed characteristic. That's where they find the most satisfaction.
Because those traits are still being breed into hunting, and herding dogs, because those are the desired traits of the breed. Most people with pit bulls are not buying trained fighting dogs, as those traits for the most part are not desired any longer. The AMstaff is basically an APBT breed for show. It is breed to fit certain show requirements, and one would guess they don't want the dog killing the other dogs in the show. Also at this point must pit bull type dogs that people have are watered down by other breeds as they are mixed dogs coming from a shelter. Obviously there are some pits still being bred to fight and others that still have those traits in them because they are mauling people and other dogs. But the majority of these dogs are not a ticking time bomb
