If I got a pit, it would again be from a reputable breeder, and I would engage the dog is some activity, after he/she was socialized and obdeience trained. They are great at Agility and weight pulling. Also, they make great therapy dogs. They can do damage, but so can a Cocker spaniel and a child. |
If you take a look at the link that I just posted this statement is NOT true when comparing to other dog bites. The link I posted breaks it down by specific breeds of dogs. It says that from 1982 to 2008 there was 1 cocker spaniel that was involved in a maiming and that was of a child. Maiming would consist of serious bodily injury.
