2005 ATTS Scores

I don't know if anyone has posted or looked at this year's scores, but I typed up the following as a blog on MySpace, and posted it in all the Pit Bull forums I belong to. I just wanted to give a snippet of my knowledge (however limited it may be) to some of my friends who don't know what to believe about our friend, the APBT. Any thoughts? Here goes...

 

Great information good job!!!

 

When I look at the whole test, I see a striking similarity. Look at the rare breeds of dogs, the dogs fad breeds arent ruining yet...those breeds are scoring exceptionally well, but the "fad" dogs are showing worse. This proves further to me, its not the dog, its the owner...and irresponsible owners produce bad dogs.

 

I noticed that as well, thanks for pointing it out. Just another point to the argument that most people do not need to be breeding dogs.

 

I think that part of the reason that some of the lesser known breeds are scoring well, is because there has not been that many tested. There are several that only one dog was tested and passed = 100%.

Or like the Cane Corso, it had 2 dogs tested and only one passed = 50%

 

Point well taken, I took that into consideration to, so I am looking only breeds with a fair numbers of animals tested. Look at the belgian mal....those dogs are only in the hands of capable owners, and scored a 90 %. For gaurd dogs who are trained in protection work, culled for selection work, and most are fairly aloof and over-protective-that is a great rating. If Mals started getting into the publics hands and bred to be lazy house pets like the German Sheppard is becoming, I have no doubt that number of dogs passed will start dropping dramatically to one of the lowest numbers on the test.
