They're known for this and while the raising of any breed of dog plays a very important role in their adult behavior, there is more to this with this particular breed.
It could be stated that all dogs, animals for that matter, have the potential to act on their instincts, which could include aggressive behavior and is likely more prevalent in some breeds.
My experience with them is they come across really cool, seem to be a lot of fun, but also have a dark side, not all, but I have seen it both ways enough to never trust any of them.
Girl who worked at our farm had one with her daily, he was a lot of fun, well mannered, and you'd think it'd be great to have him for a weekend or something. Interact with him daily, for months, but one day, he turned and was barking at me and acting aggressively for no reason. My solution to that would be zero tolerance and had I been armed, I would have put him down because I feared for my safety, ( I did not exhibit fear, worst thing you can do with any mean dog ).
They have the build and instinct to be extremely dangerous, yet people trust them and will defend that trust to no end.
I cannot see how you can trust them, knowing they all have the potential, so I guess an owner accepts that risk going in when having one of these dogs. You cannot deny they have the potential that is just ignorance. I don't like the idea of having to condemn them either but the reality is getting mauled or killed and that is a giant risk to accept to have one of these.
I realize that some have not had them misbehave and will base an opinion on that, which is fine. I would never have one because of the potential risks involved, I hate mean dogs with a passion and have been torn up by same multiple times growing up and dated a girl almost mauled to death by another breed. Getting mauled by your own dog or dogs is not on my bucket list.
Some lady came up my lane in the last week and was walking one of these, or I should say it was walking her. I have seen the same one or one just like it running loose on my land. It stopped when it saw me and took a few minutes to decide on whether to walk off. The last thing I want to encounter is one a strange one of these running loose on my land and not be armed. It's a scary thought that you need to watch out for coyotes, stray pit-bulls and or black bear which are coming back. 2 of the 3 would likely not be a threat, but that pit bull could be a lot more than the other 2.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
