Link to dog evaluation statistics...?

Does anyone have the link to the webpage where they compile all the statistics from behavior evaluations and rate each breed of dog based on how many passed and how many didn't?

I had it but now i can't find it - i don't remember if it was a webpage from a single shelter or if it was a general site that multiple shelters sent to....

I'm trying to put together a little info sheet about "pit bulls" and other breeds that are being "discriminated" against so i can hand it out at my next garage sale (last garage sale i did puppy mills... handed out over 40 flyers!!) Thankfully out town doesn't have BSL but there is still a bunch of ignorance.

Update:

Thank you, yes that's the site - and i know it isn't 100% valid. No statistics are, really.

But it gives a good idea of how well pit bull dogs that have been PROPERLY trained and socialized by loving families do when compared to other breeds.

I've included that fact in my info brochure, of course. ^_^ I won't be skewing things to fit my views (like the media tends to do), just want to throw that thought out there for people to ponder.

    You mean the American Temperament Test site?

    Rayven has the correct link, but keep in mind - this is not a study that examined random dogs, so it is NOT statistically valid.

    It is simply a test that certain owners have taken with their dogs. Those owners that are likely to own untrained, "dangerous" dogs are not likely to take this test.
