Pit bulls do attack humans less frequently than most other dog breeds.

rjsimmon and I have both asked you for the stats or source of that information. You've ignored us both.

Does this mean there isn't any data to back this up, and you pulled this statement out of your imagination?

I don't care if you're counting breeds according to the AKC, the UKC, the CKC, the NZKC, the ANKC, or the Fédération Cynologique Internationale. Where is your data than >50% of breeds recognized by one of those groups attack humans more than pit bulls do?

Pit bulls can be sweet and loving family dogs.

But not every one wants them as a companion dog and that’s when there’s trouble afoot.

For starters, google is one’s good friend when looking to debunk myths about pit bulls. Looking at the first couple pages by googling pit bull myths or pit bull myths debunked, for example, can give some insight. The facts are that pit bulls have been owned by criminals and those with tendencies for criminal behavior more often than other dogs and it is the behavior of the owners that made them dangerous. Also, pit bulls are often too difficult to classify for groups like the CDC, which could for example classify American bulldogs and similar breeds as “pit bulls”, for starters. Studies showing the tendencies for aggression in pit bulls relative to other breeds, under the presumption that they are raised by owners who know how to train and work with a dog correctly, buts them below many other breeds, including, for example, poodles and labradors.
