Over half of fatal dog attacks in the US are from pit bulls, that's all... 😬
Most of the dogs people say are ā€œpit bullsā€ are actually mixes or poorly bred ones, just saying. I actually read about one case in Canada of a PUREBRED BLACK LABRADOR being misidentified as a Pit Bull BY THE AUTHORITIES. Luckily they had registration paperwork proving it was purebred Lab. But yeah, I don’t really trust most people’s identification abilities. Not saying pit bulls CAN’T be aggressive or fatal but I just think the statistics are really skewed. That would be like saying half the attacks were carried out by ā€œretrieversā€ or ā€œshepherds.ā€ Well, there’s many different breeds. Mastiffs even get lumped as pits a lot. Most people call anything with a big blocky head a pit.

Poor breeding plays a big role in how a dog turns out. If you take two nervous wrecks the puppies will likely be nervous wrecks
 
But were they actually american pit bull terriers or bully mixes?
Pitties is just a term not a breed
Exactly. People call anything with a big blocky head a pit. Even Labs sometimes.
And it is how they were raised
I mean some of them are genetically aggressive especially DA and SSA but how they’re raised definitely plays a huge part too.

Yes, very true.

Yes for sure. I heard about that lab to.
There was a dog attack somewhere else and the dog was labeled pittie even though i think it was a cane corso.
