In my state they are now trying to pass the banning of ALL Pit bulls . Paul Wesselhoft publicly stated" Pitbulls are a dangerous breed. It isnt the owner its the animal them selfs that has brought this on. These dogs would rather eat you then anything else." He also goes on saying that these dogs should be euthanize if citizens do not remove the dogs from state. Theres a huge petition going on right now about it. As a Pit owner myself I find this laughable. ALL DOGS could be dangerousat one point and time. I wont deny that pitbulls where breed for hundreds of years for the purpose of dog fighting, But not all owners of this breed do fight them. A pit still has the urge at times to fight but only because of there breeding, not always because of there temperament. I wish these Big wigs would read and learn more about something before trying to destroy it.

Pits and Chows all have something in their genes that will make them snap in an instant.

Any dog can inflict severe damage to a human being, particularly, a child, and it is the responsibility of all dog owners to socialize and prepare their dogs for the real world.

You only live once. But if you live it right, once is enough. Wrong. We only die once, we live every day!
Make poverty history.
I can think of quite a few "Toy" breeds that would have trouble inflicting "severe damage", even to a child.
Truth be, some dogs are more vicious than others; some dogs are equipped with the tools (teeth & strength) to inflict greater damage. Pits have both of these readily available, especially the latter.

But some dogs are more likely to attack than others.... There are many breeds of dogs (including Pit Bulls) that can never become fully domesticated and can lash out wildly.
Last year my brother was traped in a house fire. His pitbull Dam dragged him out of the fire, Saddly both died later, But if goes to show you not all pits are evil animals. The dogs are very loyal when handled right.
