They can be good dogs if they're trained.
Great dogs. Once you've owned a pittie it's hard to even get interested in normal breeds.
How many times has a doge breed killed someone?
kinda wonder the specific stats nationally
Malamutes/Mastiffs are often guard dogs in more rural regions
I really like Labs.
They're kinda high maintenance but well worth it. Their energy levels and muscle density mean you have to spend a lot of time exercising them or they simply are not happy. The stats are likely from "reported" attacks. Half the news stories it turns out that another bull breed was actually the culprit. But yes if an animal that powerful bites down on something it's going to do a lot of damage.
Had nothing but labs when I was a kid. Got my first pit as an unintentional adoption. She pretty much won me over.

I think I have a pic compared to my (at the time) like 4-6 Month old Golden Retriever

Damnit, turn around and immediately punch it and take a couple steps back.. it's not *that* hard.
BRO YOU JUST POSTED CRINGE
They were originally bred for dogfighting which became popular when bull baiting was made illegal. Yeah your little bulldog was bred to fight 1 ton herbivores. So they are really strong for their size, high energy, low pain threshold. That makes them hard to train because they pretty much ignore most punishment. I used head dominance. Pin their head to the ground when they misbehave and not let them up until they submit. Which can take over an hour until they learn the you are not going to give up until they submit.,......
They really really hate submitting.

Technically both.

And it's about Epstein in doom.
Its funny because they're virgins *ahahahah*
But so am I *le gasp!*
I've heard one major reason for the frequency of lethal attacks among pitbulls is due to the fact that they were bred to show fewer early indications than normal of violent intentions, to better take other dogs off guard in fights. This has the unintended consequence that it can be difficult to anticipate when you need to deescalate their excitement/frustration and reign them in.
Basically, more so than many other dog breeds, their aggression level can escalate quickly, and with little warning.
Meaning, even if you have a very sweet natured, and well trained pit, you might not realize exactly how worked up they are, until they have their teeth around something's throat.
Pssst

Not so much. In dog talk a bark is a warning and a growl is angry intent. If a Pit decides it wants to fight it does it pretty much the same way as any other dog. They roll their shoulders up and growl.
It is true that they are much less likely to bark....
