Science increasingly supports the notion that we should evaluate each dog as an individual rather than make assumptions based on what we perceive their breed to be. In 2011, a study of dogs at the Vancouver SPCA found that a group of dogs labelled “pit bulls” fared about the same as a group of dogs of similar size when it came to adoption success and behaviour. As the author says: “average pit bulls in average homes are average dogs.”
