As far as the Pit Bull debate, no matter what you want to call them, are the number one biters.
Of the 14 people killed by dogs in the USA 13 were from Pit Bulls!!
I love dogs but I would not turn my back on a Pit due to their deserved reputation.
Of the one dog I own that was attacked by another dog (on a public street) it was a pit bull.

Yeah- I know that pit bulls can be incredibly loving dogs- just as the small breeds can have incredible aggressive tendencies too.
But there's some bad tendencies with that mix of genes. Not out to exterminate anyone's wonderful pet- but not sure we need to be breeding new individuals that with a little bit of the wrong kind of coaching become fairly efficient killers.
