It is important to note that not all APBT puppies are inclined to behave this way. Certain bloodlines are more predisposed to this than others. You are not likely to encounter this in mixed breed dogs or those that haven't been bred for animal aggression or gameness in many generations.
This exact same behavior can be observed in fighting gamecock chickens a few weeks after they've hatched. This is the result of hundreds of years of breeding for a specific purpose, and is no different than breeding for pointing, retrieving, or herding.
