-Pits do not have lock jaw (lock jaw means that if they bite they can't let go).

 

-Pit bulls are just as easily trained to be nice as to be mean. All it takes is a responsible owner.

 

-One of many myths believed about pit bulls is that they are unpredictable and will turn on their owners. This is NOT true. Pit bulls are as unpredictable as any other dog breed, their bad actions just get more media because of their bad rep.

 

-A "Pit bull" is not a specific breed but a term used to describe many different breeds of dogs including the American Staffordshire Terriers, American Pit Bull Terrier, and many others.

 

-The American Temperament Test Society provides testing around the country for dog breeds and provides a passing score for the entire breed, based on the percentage of passed over failed within total number of that particular breed tested.  As of March 2001, the American Pit Bull Terrier has a current passing rate of 82.3% which makes him one of the top 5 most stable breed of dog in the country.
