The dangerous breed list changes with breed popularity.
Yep. As soon as people start getting dogs because of a tv show, movie, celebrity, etc., that breed starts having "aggression" issues. But it can't simply be because people get dogs that they don't understand, are unwilling or incapable of training, and/or breed indiscriminately. No, it must be that the breed "is bad".
What's ironic is that a few of the breeds on the list are used in law enforcement and the military, Because they are intelligent and have predictable behaviors.
These same breeds are focused and can perform life saving/threatening task under pressure. But yet they are not worthy of entering a CG.
A lot of the breed list is based on hype and not actual data.
