Your DH is crazy for thinking this dog is OK to have around a 3 and 7 year old. It is a combination of the MOST dangerous breeds!

Research from DogsBite.org shows that during the 15-year period from 2005 to 2019, canines killed 521 Americans. Pit bulls and rottweilers accounted for 76% (397) of these deaths.1 During the 20-year government study period of 1979 to 1998,2 238 dog bite-related fatalities with breed information was studied. The combination of pit bulls and rottweilers accounted for 50% (120) of these deaths.

Please read this review of 22 retrospective dog bite studies from U.S. Level I trauma centers. In the majority of studies, pit bulls inflicted a higher prevalence and severity of injuries compared with other breeds.

1) Doggie DNA is soft science, at best.
2) Yes, the breeds most often trained to bite, do. That doesn't mean they're all bitey monsters by breed. A well-socialized pittie or rottie is just as safe as any other breed.
3) While your 'kill list' seems to target pits, the #1 cause of dog bites is yippy little purse dogs people treat like toys and don't socialize properly, and I'll fight you over it. [/quote]
