No mix up in the breed on this end and I might add the canario is also on the warning list. This warning has come from people who train attack and guard dogs for law enforcement and also people in the industry who have delt with them. I say if it has teeth it will bite no matter what the breed. As far as being stable this is where we disagree and they are much closer to a pit bull then a terrier by a long shot. It is interesting how people try everything from name changes to color in an attempt of getting away from the pit bull image. They might be a good dog as long as you know what they could do and the liability that goes with it . Another name given the pit bull is Staffordshire bull "terrier".
