Did anything in my post say that I recommended a American Pit Bull Terrier as a pet, or that I don't think we have a problem with dogs that have Pit Bull Terrier characteristic?

No, nothing said that, nor that I wanted a fighting breed.

I simply stated that the much-repeated myth that pit bulls have locking jaws is untrue.

You'll notice this thread was about 'pit bulls.' Your response is about more than 'pit bulls.'

You'll notice Cesar mentioned the bull dog and the presa canario. Those aren't 'pit bulls.' There are a lot of 'not pit bull' breeds that I wouldn't want because they are strong, aggressive, mega-alpha, protection or even bear-hunting dogs with a history of killing people. American Bullies. Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldogs. Cana Presarios. Caucasian Ovcharkas (definitely not Caucasian Ovcharkas. Definitely. Possibly more than any other breed.) Tosa Inus. American Bandogges. Dogo Argentinos. Boer Boels. Gull Dongs. Fila Brasileiros.

I could continue, but the list is quite long and there are many breeds that I consider more dangerous than a pit bull. We're lucky that these breeds aren't available in large numbers to American thugs.

I was seriously considering getting a Caucasian Ovcharka, but after several months of research on the breed, I realized that I would not be able to keep the guy out of trouble as well as I should.

I’ve had dogs from rotties and pit/wolf crosses to a teacup chihuahua, but the above breed is likely beyond my ability to fully train correctly.

As Clint so eloquently said in Dirty Harry, “A man’s got to know his limitations.”

I can handle quite well the vast majority of dogs, but that breed is pretty much beyond my abilities.
