[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Myths vs Fact: Pitbulls
THE TRUTH: Aggression is not a breed characteristic or personality trait, and is not specific to any one breed of dog.
THE TRUTH: Breed has nothing to do with it.
THE TRUTH: There is no such thing as a dog with a locking jaw.
THE TRUTH: Pit-bull-like dogs are actually some of the most popular types of dogs in America.[/quote]

I'm a PP who basically wrote a longer version of "it depends - on the dog and the owner" - but I want to respond to this because I hear these comments all the time from pit bull lovers who are COMPLETELY missing the point.

The issue is not that pit bulls are "more aggressive than other dogs" and yes, the locking jaw thing isn't true.

This issue is that pit bulls are STRONG dogs. If a tiny little yappy dog gets mad and comes after me, worse case, I'm looking at a few stitches. If a pit bull gets mad and comes after me - I could DIE. And particularly, my child can die. It's not about the likelihood of an attack - it's about the severity of an attack. And while no, a pit bull does not have a locking mechanism in their jaw - their jaws are insanely strong.

The majority of fatal dog attacks are from pit bulls. Source:

Interesting, I didn’t see Pit Bull on the list. I did see other dogs on the list as society has labeled those breeds “viscous.”

Listen, as a responsible Pitbull owner, that’s had over 50 pits, I hear what the posters are saying. I feel sorry for those that are injured or succumb to a pitbull attack. No bad dogs, bad owners.

Yet hospitals have more dog injuries related to the pitbull breed. They're banned from entire cities and they were bred to take down and herd big bulls.[/quote]
