There is a raging national debate on the merits of owning a Pit Bull. I've heard most of what both sides say. There is often a comparison made of bite incidents by different breeds. Pit Bull advocates may tell you that some other, well respected, kid friendly breed bites more often.
Here is where I see the difference:
Most dogs that bite do it once to send a messege and then disengage.
A Pit Bull will likely keep biting until what it is biting stops moving.
A Pit Bull has extremely capable biting equipment, thus making each bite cause more damage.
I stear clear of them. I cross the street when I see one coming. I believe this "bullying by proxy" is why some owners choose this breed.
