I don't blame dogs, I blame the owners. Pits have a bad rep. My least favorite dog is the Collie, but only cause they love to chase cyclists more than any other breed.
Not a fan of them at all. However, if they are you thing, go for it.
Any dog can be an ahole.
Wonder what breed will be next? I hope it's Labradoodles...
I've been bitten by more Golden Retrievers and yappy purse dogs than Pit Bulls.
Exactly.
And despite the fact that Labs / Retrievers tend to lead the statistics on the numbers of reported bites... They're certainly never going to be vilified by anyone in "the media" because they're "cute & wholesome family dogs...that thugs and gangbangers don't own"
Little dogs DO bite more - but are rarely ever reported - because they rarely ever do any "damage".
It's not the bite that is the problem, it's the power behind the bite. Little dogs bite are but nips, big dog bites are just that, bites, then there are the bites where a dog hangs on and yanks. There are others beside pits that do this. The list was a couple post up.
It's the bigger dogs that get the attention because their wounds usually need the most medical treatment.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing pits. Any pits I've known have been sweet dogs.
Exactly.

Yup! The main stream media gives them a pass because they're are cute, and probably liberal.
Labradoodles will never be evil because they don't shed.
