The ATTS Temperment tests were set up to test all dog breeds but with the recent discrimination against pit bulls and the like, it has been called upon to figure out the stigma around them, and see if they really are as volatile as their reputation.
"While the test is designed to evaluate the instincts of all breeds, it is particularly important now for bully breeds."
It has brought some interesting results.
"The national passing average for the TT for all breeds is 81.9%. However, historically the pit bull has done better then average. Detailed statistics are available on the ATTS site. (www.atts.org) American Pit Bull Terriers are passing by 85.3%. The American Staffordshire Terrier is close behind, with 83.9%. Contrast these with the scores of the Golden Retriever (84.6%) and the German Shepherd Dog (83.7%). "
