Jenn525 shall now post helpful information! Yay! xD
But no seriously, look.
I get so tired of hearing about so called "dangerous" dogs. Some posts/comments on posts should be removed due to obvious ignorance of the subject. ANY dog can be dangerous regardless of its breed or size. ANY dog can be dog aggressive or people aggressive. Sure, there are percents that can be used to gain knowledge of which breeds or worse but even those percents can hardly be fair. I have owned most of the dogs listed and I have NEVER been bitten nor has any of my dogs EVER attacked a person or animal unless he or she was directed to do so by me. Pits are NOT dog aggressive, in fact the pit terrier is a very calm breed if it has been trained. These dogs listed as dangerous are the primary dogs used as guard dogs, K9 dogs,etc.etc. due to there intelligence and easily obtained fearless nature so OF COURSE they have more recorded attacks. In summary, ITS THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DANGEROUS,...NOT THE DOGS.
(Not my information, borrowed from a comment from here edited slightly to fit :3)And then its statistics time! Yay!!!
