actually pits are naturally more aggressive than other breeds of dogs...im not saying all pits are bad by any means, I've met plenty that are really good dogs. and even in their defense, this dog was only half pit and besides this outburst it was a very good dog...nobody saw it happen but we think she grabbed the dogs toy and the dog just lashed out at her.
No...they're not. Especially not to humans.
You don't know what you think you know of them. Your "fact" is no more than prejudiced opinion.
Dalmations, cocker spaniels, chows, huskies, German shepherds, Australian shepherds, poodles and a shit yob of other dogs bite far more people per year and are rated more aggressive than Pitts fyi.
My Dane got aggressive with me once, after I caught him stealing food off the counter.....I rolled up a newspaper after he growled at me....made a shit ton of noise, scared to death of the newspaper.
The misinformation non-owners have concerning APBT/bully breeds is alarming. This is one of the reasons they have such a bad rap in the media/public.
My big male Junior(3yrs old) is still intact as Im studding him out. You will have to look very very hard to find a male that is not neutered who is as calm,stable&passive as Junior.
Yet I have a neutered male who is so hyper and excited all the time youd think he had 4 testicles lol. All he wants to do is run around&play with the neighbors cat.... Point is these dogs have individual personalities just like people,some are assholes while others are cool as beans so judging them based on what happened with another dog is ridiculous.
And as Joe clearly pointed out several times more people get bitten by smaller,more popular dogs like yorkies,chihuauhas,etc

Just by way of an opposing view, here is a link with some VERY questionable assertions, questionable sources and very loose logic, just to give you an idea of how much disinformation/misinformation is out there. It's really not just about who you decide to believe, it's about whether or not who you decide to believe is basing their assertions on science or fear/mystery/dogma/assumption, etc.

any dog can be aggresive all in how you raise them. im sorry to hear about your accident never a good situation. An as far as what happen there thats prob right just like messing with any dogs food while there eating ya just dont do it. my daughter has done everything she can do to my dog as in pulling hitting stepping an he just looks at her dumb an he lets her get away with it.

Yep, mine is a ferocious monster. That kitten terrorizes her and even eats out of her bowl while she is eating. She just sits there and takes it. She was a rescue and by far best dog I've ever owned
My grandma works at a veterinary clinic and she sees all types of dogs from big to small. I asked her about her opinion on pits and she said she loves them she hasn't had a single problem with one. And also the only dog they mussel at the clinic is a cockerspaniel she Sao those things are nuts.
The first one is my blue nose bully I got all the paperwork for both the blue is a descendant from the notorious Juan gotti an the girl is a tri color an is a descendant from low jacks remy an they are both babies unless they are fighting each other
