Afaik Pitbulls are a group largely negatively impacted by incorrect stereotypes. American pitbull terriers and American Staffordshire terriers (pitbulls) are strong, confident, loyal, and eager to please. They are known as great companion dogs and typically do well with children. According to the United Kennel Club and American Kennel Club, they will show some dog aggression if not appropriately socialized, but aggressive behavior towards humans is uncharacteristic. In other words, it usually isn't the dog, it's the owner.

Pitties are not naturally over aggressive. They're trained to be over aggressive by some people.
