My personal theory is that the aggressive behavior you have heard about possibly may be from those who kept pits too warm. IMO, they do much better at slightly cooler temps, and could possibly be why I have seen calmer attitudes with most of my entire collection.

I have seen some hissy babies at shows as well though, and those were mostly baby bulls. However, I still have witnessed more calmer specimens than not calm. But, remember, Pits also may be simply showing their fears more as well, hence the hissing. They seem to be aware of their surroundings more, and what you are seeing may possibly be them being aware of potential dangers ( in their mind ), hence what we as humans term as " attitude. "
