I have been bitten by quite a few dogs just running or walking. As a small kid, I was bit by the neighbors Mutt, and a Beagal. In the Marine Corps living on base in Officer Housing I was bit by a Chow and a English Setter just running in the neighborhood. Several years back a small Rat Terrier bit me. Walking the neigborhood now there are a few Goldens that would bit but are chained.

I beleive a lot is the breeding and the owners. Pits were breed to be dog agressive, but NOT Human Agressive. If they ever bit their owner in the old days, the owner would put them down. Most love humans and would never bit, that is why they are not good at Personal Protection and watch dogss. They would welcome the burgler and show him the good stuff. They are not for everyone, as mmost Mastiff's are not either. The Cane Corso takes a owner willing to socialize, socialize, socialize, and train of you will have a 130 pound liability. But they are great with immediate family. Mine is great with everyone, but out eat they are now gaining the reputation as the "Pit Bull Killer" and BYB's will eventually ruin the breed.

Most pits and great, a few are bad, but usually it from how it was raised, and the breeding.

I would own a quality Pit anyday. I have seen a few bad ones, but mostly good ones. Why do some Yorkies try to bit and some do not? Sure, they can not so a much famage like a Large Breed cane, but they sure try. WHat were Yorkies originally bread for? Going after rats and mice in tunnels. That takes courage and tenacity, and the ability to tear something apart.

I do agree that all dogs should be on a leash and not running loose. Why in NY there is a pack of ATTACK beagels running loose that will actually kill a person.
