I have not encountered many pits personally, so do not have a lot of personal experience with them. The plethora of articles about pit attacks and the severity of the damage done by them does not present a positive view of the breed when they do go over the edge.
The dogs I have had the most experience with as far as aggression, however, is the little ankle biters. The difference is one of those can be drop kicked across the room. That makes them far less of a risk than a larger dog that would be much more difficult to defend myself against.
That said, about the only dogs I don’t have any concern about being attacked by is Goldens. Every thing else I just keep an awareness about around me.
Fwiw, one of the 2 bites against me was by a ‘Golden’...
