The Unexpected Pitbull
One of my favourite xmas presents this year was the 2008 Unexpected Pitbull Calendar. This calendar is absolutely beautifully photographed, and raises funds for pitbull advocacy and rescue.
The American PitBull Terrier scored an 84.1% on the 2006 American Temperment Test (521 dogs tested: 437 passed, 84 failed), while, for some comparison, the Golden Retriever scored 83.8% (687 dogs tested: 576 passed, 111 failed). (http://www.atts.org/)
Not too late to buy a calendar and support a great cause!!

Unfortunately many of the rednecks where I live train their pits to be aggressive, so the fail rate on the test would probably be more like 60% here. I think it does something for the male ego to have a "tough" dog when you live 'round these parts.
I wonder what the pass / fail rate was for beagles.
