I think that ANY dog is capable of biting, including our own Yorkies. The difference between the two are obviously size and the damage that can be caused. You would be surprised how many Labradors are involved in bite cases. Pitbulls are dangerous but so are some Yorkies. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie that I know will bite a stranger withouth provication. I know this so as a responsible dog owner I keep her gated when we have company. Pitbulls have a bad rap. They do have some instincts as does a hurding dog such as a border collie, or a grey hound and those instincts can be brought out by the wrong people. The dog is not bad it's people that have gotten their hands on the breed and turned them into killers.
