All dogs have positive and negative traits in their temperament. Some of the negative traits are not always due to the owner. I had a german shepard that was so vicious that we had to lock her up when guests came, we didn't train her to be a guard dog and she was that way despite trying to socialize her as a puppy with other people and animals.
I have a pit bull now and have noticed that she is wary of her surroundings and has an intense prey drive. She is very lovable and friendly towards children, but I would never allow her to roam around the streets freely or leave her with a small child. I don't think the breed should be exterminated, but I think people should have a license to breed them or even buy them.
