Some of the little yap dogs here are more vicious

The higher the population of pit bulls, the greater the risk of unprovoked dog attacks. To say that all dog breeds pose the same risk is patently false. Proper care and training will make a big difference but it can not completely eliminate genetic instincts.

Quote:
over thirteen percent of pit bulls attacked their owners, as compared with just over
two percent of other dogs

Pit bull dogs, unlike other dogs, often give no warning signals before they attack.

These dogs were intentionally bred to result in better, stronger,
and bolder dogs, more inclined to engage in the dangerous behaviors likely
to win in the ring.
