This discussion continues to baffle me.. Why do you think you dont hear about a golden retriever, chocolate lab,German Shepard or chihuahua bites/maulings on the news? Cause they dont sell.. they dont make people watch the news or buy the papers.. In the 6 years of working at a vet.. I have seen less pitbull bites then anything... Yesterday we had a german shepard pup (6 months old) lunge at the doctor and has to use a rabies pole on it.... few months ago had a lady bring in a chocolate lab to be euthanized cause it was SO aggressive it bit her 6 year old and her. There is a lady who has been trapped in her house before because her chesapeak bay retriever has cornered her IN HER OWN HOUSE.. Its not JUST a pitbull.. its any breed of dog..
