That’s not true though. And while there are far too many pit bull attacks most are due to a lack of training, socialization, supervision on the part of the owner. A well socialized and trained pit bull is less dangerous than a chihuahua. There is also the prevalence of inbreeding by backyard “breeders” that will cause any breed to have problems. Pit bulls just get more attention by the media because they are the breed of the hour these days. It was Doberman, Rottweilers, GSDs, in the past even though the pit bull has been in America for much longer than the other breeds. And they were used to mind the children for a long time. Keep them safe while the parents worked the field.
Pit bull is a category of dogs descended from terriers and bulldogs. I can't comment of inbreeding or how nice or mean they are, but they are well justifiably known their attacks and as a breed made for dog fighting.
Their attacks generally do more damage, that is not something I will argue. The frequency of attacks and an accurate report of the “breed” are points that need to be looked at more closely. Shit owners that don’t keep a territorial dog contained, don’t train them properly (or worse, train them to be aggressive), don’t socialize them, etc...are more to blame than the breed. There are hundreds, if not thousands more peaceful pits than there are aggressive ones, but no one mentions those. Temperament tests have been done by neutral third parties for years, the pit bull types have always done well in those when they are raised right and not poorly bred by some moron in his backyard.
The same fucking reason goddamn Pit Bulls are more likely to eat your child's face than a Golden Retriever.
