Glad to see no sympathy for owning Pit Bulls here on this thread.
They have something in their brain that is inherited and causes them to attack. Of course, most of them don’t but why take the risk.
If you want a big dog, there are labs, Goldens, Collies and many other breeds that are not dangerous.
The dog that viciously attacked my dog completely unprovoked while we were walking was a Golden Retriever.
Don’t ever assume that any type of dog is not dangerous.
All dog owners have the responsibility to train and control their dog. Any of the larger breeds can be dangerous if not handled correctly. Pits just seem to tend toward the outer edges of dog behavior. I worry that one of my favorite breeds is in danger of being ruined. Great Danes are getting popular. People are breeding them for non-standard colors and extreme size. I have a spayed female that is extremely oversize. I had no reason to suspect she would be so big. Both parents were not that big. If this dog was in the wrong hands she would be more dangerous than any pit.
