While I certainly disagree with purposefully breeding away from DA because it should not be the focus of a breeding program for or against, I do agree that a dog which is not DA is not somehow not an American Pit Bull Terrier, or is a poor example of such. Take a look at any Pit Bull pedigree, from the least of the breed to the highly-revered greats such as Jeep and Chinaman, and you will find cold dogs in that pedigree. For instance:
And yet this dog can be found to be the sire, grandsire, etc of many game dogs.
There have been also many a dog who was an achieved fighting dog and yet would be allowed to run the yard without bothering the other dogs. I know Nigerino was one example of a dog who could play at least with bitches without fighting with them and yet he was a Grand Champion pit dog.
Colby's Demo a UKC registered red tri colored male who was kept in Newburyport by john o'donnell who ran a restaurant there.
While Demo was bred from some of the most reknowed fighting dogs in history Demo would not bother a sole he would run the streets freely plaing with the neighborhood children after school and was a friend to a great many people around town.
