Although pit bull mixes and Rottweillers are most likely to kill and seriously maim, fatal attacks since 1975 have been attributed to dogs from at least 30 breeds."

Thank you CDC. In layman's terms......Pit Bulls and Rottweillers are big, aggressive and DO NOT let go when they attack. Please CDC, send me some government money. On the other hand, we live with a 140lb Rottweller, almost 6 years old and raised correctly. She's a sweetie, but I doubt most people would walk up and pat her on the head. We also have "the old man", a 12 year old Turkish Kangal (Anatolian Shepherd here in the states), about 105 lbs. He's the watchdog, and is the most aggressive animal I've ever owned. I guess breeding for wolf hunts tend to get the "sissy" out of the breed. Pit Bulls are no different, they were bred for a reason....and child care wasn't one of them.

i think those two statements summarize the issues very well.

it is also very hard to regulate the interactions of dogs and children when they live in the same house.
