The American Pit Bull Terrier is widely regarded as the World's most misunderstood breed of Dog. It has been hounded by the media to such an extent that in many countries there are laws known as Breed Specific Legislation that restrict or even prohibit ownership. This is because of the use of the breed in illegal Dog fighting and use as ''status dogs''. The Pit Bull Terrier is a tenacious breed, but this is not the same as aggression or fierceness. Tenacity is simply high level of determination. Although the media would have you believe that all ''Pit Bull'' type Dogs are born aggressive and fierce, it is the owner of the Dog that influences its behavior. With a responsible owner, a Pit Bull Terrier is no more fierce than a Pug.
