There have been a lot of defenders of pit bulls. The percentage of attacks by them breedwise on a percentage basis. Is undisputable. They are not a majority breed but inflict most of the damage. All dogs can bite.

I am highly aware of the temperament of my dogs. I test them frequently. Certain breeds I just will not own and they are just not pit bulls.

No offence to any potentially dangerous dog owners as there are many breeds that are. Their dogs seem to be kind and gentle and still sometimes turn at a moments notice.

It is too late then to discover your mistake. They never considered genetics perhaps. Delayed genetic behavioral effects are common in the animal kingdom as they are with humans.

Most owners after a serious attack claim their animals were gentle and the attack shocked them. In most these claims I believe the owners statement. Only problem is the damage is done.
