I've been around a wide variety of dogs throughout my life. I've been attacked and biten by 3 dogs. Two of them were Shiz Tzu's, and the other was a Brittany Spaniel. I've never felt threatened by any Pitbull's I've come across.
Granted, they can do more damage if they do attack, but that goes for any larger breed.
Wally just reminded me, my Aun't Dachshund was pretty vicious. He would show his teeth at me often, but would always end up running away. Still, I never felt 100% comfortable around him.
While training dogs in the late 70's and 80's it was the street rumor that feeding dogs gun powder would make the agressive. Seriously no kidding.
I was Mauled yes Mauled by a Labrador Retreiver almost to death when I was a child, the mail man found me unconcious from blood loss and the massive trauma.
When training I had been attacked several times by "gun Powder" dogs. Once to the point I was laid up for 3 months with massive trauma to my arms and chest. It was a German Shepard.
I was badly bitten by another German Shepard.
I was attacked and bitten by an Airdale once who was a beats to stop. He was bent on doing me harm.
Countless times I was bitten by lap dogs like Pomeranians Poodles and the like.
I have been around countless Pits and even some people might consider violent and all of them I was able to take control over with no violence. I have lived with Pits and never a problem. I am the Alpha male and they respect me and are the most loyal dogs, they would die to protect me. To rate them let's put it this way, if I could only have one dog, it would be a tough choice between a Pit Bull and German Shepard Schutzhund.
