The American Pitbull Terrier has one of the best temperaments of any dog breed. The breed has a 86.4% passing rate according to American Temperament Test Society, beating out popular breeds such as the Golden Retriever(84.9%), Chihuahua(71.1%), Cocker Spaniel(81.9%), and German Shepherd(84.8%). The American Pitbull has a similar disposition of the standard Poodle, who passed at a 86.6% rate. Only a few breeds have been shown to have a better temperament than Pitbull's, one of the being the Labrador Retriever, and lesser known breeds such as the Brittany Spaniel(90.7).

Is a score of 100 good or bad? What goes into the calculation of this score?

"The ATTS test focuses on and measures different aspects of temperament such as stability, shyness, aggressiveness, and friendliness as well as the dog’s instinct for protectiveness towards its handler and/or self-preservation in the face of a threat. The test is designed for the betterment of all breeds of dogs and takes into consideration each breed’s inherent tendencies."
