I don’t have a dog in this fight (heh) but no one arguing the other side has presented any evidence either. In my anecdotal evidence, it’s seems more that certain breeds are more powerful, so when they’re improperly trained, they cause more damage so they get more headlines

Also, those breeds attract a certain type of owner that either don’t train them or train them to be aggressive.

I’m sure someone on either side will show up, and provide evidence… that evidence must exist, this must have been studied… right?

I dunno, maybe not.

edit: Neither side is providing any studies, but both sides are downvoting me. Very cool.

Yep, they just need some love and gentle care and training. I have a half-pit and the only things she’s aggressive with is small critters. She really loves killing them though.

Worked for a dog and cat boarding facility many moons ago. Of all my interactions with various breeds from private owners to our almost constant stream of rescued pitbulls - we were temporarily hosting/caring for. Only one breed almost took off my finger.

I needed stitches, the lead vet had to flood the wound with iodine and antibiotics.
