I don't really trust statistics ,
And I would give odds that in most of the Pit Bull attacks the dog has shown aggressiveness on more than one occasion and should have been dealt with at that time .
Years ago it was German Shepards, then Dobies the Rotts and in the last 20 yrs Pit Bulls, but you never hear about Stanford Shire terriers ( the AKC ) Pits Look up the lineages I did when I raised Pits, Surprise, surprise, surprise.
In my 15 years with Pits I only had one that threatened ( he only did it once)
I have bitten three time # 1 German Shepard, #2 Beagle #3 a Shepard mix.
But the three mentioned above and Pit Bulls are have powerful jaws and do a lot of damage.
I had a rescue 100# Doberman turn on me about 20 years ago, I was lucky and able the upper hand, I called the rescue people and they would not take him, I gave him one more chance the next day. He failed. today I would probably be in trouble with the law.

Like any dog, the bully breeds need rules and structure. Maybe a little more so, as for good or bad these dogs have to be better model citizens than most other breeds to counteract the negative perceptions...but they are worth the time and effort.

Duke, our brindle pit bull of 10 years, never was aggressive to anyone except the one time a guy broke into my home when my two daughters and my mother in law were home alone. He stood his ground between the girls and the guy with his head down and tail between his legs and growled.... the guy left. He really loved those three women and would always protect them. He also seemed to be a better judge of boyfriends than my oldest daughter was. Whenever this kid was around, Duke always stood between them and glared at the boy and never wagged his tail when this kid was around. Dog was right, later this kid turned out to be abusive and a wife beater. Even so, for his protection and that of others, we never let him run loose outdoors.

That was his job and I don't think his actions were aggressive, Duke sounds like a Mutt I had when I was a teen, my sister had a boy over, I didn't like him when he said hello,Tippy placed himself on the couch between them if the kid move to touch sis he would show his teeth, the kid never came back !!! he was smarter than he looked .

Advertised here. The writing isn't perfect, so improvise.
Why does this entire post and replies seem like it has been here before. Same comments by the same people or at least the same often repeated stereotypes, most wrong.

Perhaps some will take exception to my thoughts on this but, this breed should be eliminated. They are simply too unpredictable and dangerous. Not all, but 95% give the rest of the breed a bad rap.

Same goes for cars? How about motorcycles? Horses? My mom’s cooking? The rules of the forum prevent me from addressing your issue Nervous 2.

I worked at an animal shelter and my wife and I photographed over 2600 dogs over a period if 8 years. 80% pits. Off leash with a handler. Got one scratch on my arm when a pit got too affectionate.
I have seen bad dogs that needed to be put down but they are from all breeds.

I thought that I would weigh in on the subject, if you notice my icon is a pitty. His name was Freddie and was a rescue.
I've had 2 Pitty's, both rescues and both the sweetest most people friendly dogs I've ever had.
You can't judge a dog by its breed any more than you can judge a person by their color.
Both dogs are gone taken by cancer.
Just to bypass the stigma when people asked what they were I would tell rhem they were texas chihuahuas.
