Cats suck, and those are family dogs.

I got a cat for the sole purpose of clearing the residence of mice after it sat unused for nearly a year, but now I wish I got mousetraps instead.

Depends who you ask, really.  The most often quoted bit of "statistics" comes from the CDC and/or Merritt Clifton, but both reports are based on limited data from inaccurate sources like media.  CDC even stated in their study that the statistics don't mean much of shit because it doesn't take into count the population of each breed and the sources of the information aren't dog experts thus are more likely to give incorrect data.

http://www.atts.org has some interesting statistics on different breeds.  It's basically a few tests meant to test the "stability" of different dogs in different situations.  AmStaff/APBTs have one of the highest scores.

                                            tested   pass  fail     percent passed
AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER       665   567   98   85.3%  ("pit bull")
AMSTAFF                                   570   478   92   83.9%  ("pit bull")
CANE CORSO                               85    69    16    81.2%  ("pit bull")
DOGO ARGENTINO                        11    10    1    90.9%  ("pit bull")
GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG          2929    2,452 477    83.7%
GOLDEN RETRIEVER                    720    609    111    84.6%

All basically the same passing rate

CHIHUAHUA    38    27    11    71.1%
BORDER COLLIE    248    200    48    80.6%

The fact is that larger dogs when actually do bite cause major damage so your Mom's 15 pound dog biting people never gets reported even though the little bastard will draw blood etc.


The irony is people can't really tell what a pitbull actually looks like. It doesnt help that people started mixing them to make the american bully breed which is more english bulldog than anything. Dead give away is the huge paws found on bulldogs.


Also people all think they are these short dogs when if you look at actual papered dogs they are slim/medium height dogs.
