Breed identification is left up to victim and witness testimony, and is often wrong. Due to negative press, biting dogs of almost ANY breed have been called "Pit bulls". "
It's funny how some yorkie lovers preach about teaching the truth about teacups, tinies..... but have no problem saying and spreading false things about other breeds.  I used to believe this too until I spent many hours researching to learn the truth, I hope others do the same. CDC Stand on Dog Bite Statistics |     |
