By compiling U.S. and Canadian press accounts between 1982 and 2011,1 Merritt Clifton, editor of Animal People, shows the breeds most responsible for serious injury and death.

Study highlights
The combination of pit bulls, rottweilers, their close mixes and wolf hybrids:

77% of attacks that induce bodily harm
    73% of attacks to children
    81% of attack to adults
    68% of attacks that result in fatalities
    76% that result in maiming

Discussion notes:

Even if the pit bull category was "split three ways," attacks by pit bulls and their closest relatives would still outnumber attacks by any other breed.
    Pit bulls are noteworthy for attacking adults almost as frequently as children, a characteristic not shared by any other breed.
    If a pit bull or rottweiler has a bad moment, instead of being bitten, often someone is maimed or killed; that has now created off-the-chart actuarial risk.

No offense but, really, this information from a website that encourages people to kill their neighbors dogs. Before one more person posts these  statistics that include "pit bulls, rottweilers, their close mixes and wolf hybrids" please realize you are not even posting data about APBT or Staffordshore Terriers (dogs considered to be pit bulls.). There is no worse research methodology!! It is like saying labs and their relatives: wolves, poodles, beagles and poodles (or whatever we decide to through into our group of dog subjects) are responsible for X many attacks. Weak, really weak. It has been debunked twice (at least already), stop posting this and actually read through previous pages before you make a fool of yourself.
