Here's a link: Dog Attack deaths and maimings, 1982-2006

Of course, we don't know how many of each dog there are, but the pit bull breed accounts for over 40% of all the deaths on the chart. Rottweillers are another 20%. That leaves 40% for all the remaining dog breeds put together.

Wolf Hybrids are 3rd, with Huskies, and German Shepherds are close behind.

As I said, the numbers do not appear to be adjusted for the number of dogs of each breed -- but I don't suspect that pit bulls are a majority of the dogs owned by Canadians and Americans.

Someone cited the Merrit Clifton Study. Two more points if someone starts whining about magical ‘locking jaws’...
