Pit bulls are also one of the most abused breeds. And of course, if it is the 'family' who abuses them why wouldn't they attack?

There's a reason pitties are called the "nanny dog." A barkey little sh*t dog has never been called a nanny dog.

We have 5 -- yes 5 -- of those awful dachshunds in our neighborhood (2 families). Noisy, annoying, and they lunge at you when you walk by them.

That is an excellent study. Thank you for sharing.


I had to teach pretty far down to get to this point but the study notes that is based on cases from Denver childrens and Denver had a pit bull pan. Despite the ban, the worst case was a pit bull attqck.


There is always an asterisk with anything that doesn't include bully breeds. Good catch.

Check with the local rescues as well. I foster for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue, and we have lots of non-Pitbull dogs, as well as puppies. You can window shop here:

If you search the group, you can see my soon to be foster, Nirvana.

It is the owners' fault. People are too lazy to train their dogs.

I have had to kick so many small dogs off me over the years. I cannot stand them.
