The Pit Bull's bad reputation and how it happened

Even with all the bans and the bad publicity, the Pit Bull Terrier is a very popular dog, with high popularity comes bad breeders. Bad breeders bred dogs that should have never been bred, are bred repeatedly regardless of bad temperaments, health problems, or genetic defects. The APBT has become popular for the wrong reasons. The media has spread to the world that Pit Bulls are tough "canine monsters" that some people just had to have. Now all of these dogs are living around the world. These dogs are dangerous, but some Pit Bulls are bred properly and are not aggressive. People now mistake any big dog for a Pit Bull. They are given blame for many attacks some of these were committed by poorly bred APBT. Some breeds that resemble the Pit Bull terrier: Boxers, American bulldogs, Rhodesian Ridge backs, Labrador retrievers, etc.
