I've had a pup that at less than 3 months would run into full grown dogs. Some of them are like that, especially in game dogs that's what they're supposed to do. It's going to take some major obedience work to try to keep him from going after other animals. Emphasize on the word try...

One thing that's kind of blowing my mind is you expected "a little" animal aggression. These are dogs created to fight to the death in a pit if necessary. That being said, they are also extremely smart and will pick up on the idea you don't want them to fight. The trick is keeping that control in high tension situations. The best thing I've found is teaching them to ignore other dogs and letting him know they're not a threat. It's usually never 100% though, you always need to be careful around other animals.
