My daughter and I adopted our staffordshire mix at a shelter, because she was the cutest, sweetest dog in the entire building.
You're such a fucking moron at times, dot.
Any dog can be a danger to humans. It is important to never completely trust any dog or pet.
But, here is the big difference in regard to pit bulls vs. other breeds.
Again, from the April 2011 edition of Annals of Surgery, Volume 253, Number 4, and is entitled "Mortality, Mauling, and Maiming by Vicious Dogs."
- "Pit bulls not only are notorious for their indiscriminate attack pattern but also as well known for the tenacity with which they continue to attack.
- "The inbred tenacity of pit bulls, the unrelenting manner in which they initiate and continue their attacks, and the damage they cause are the result of both genetics and environment. Therefore, this breed of dog is inherently dangerous."
- "As stated by one author, 'Temperament is not the issue, nor is it even relevant. What is relevant is actuarial risk. If almost any other dog has a bad moment, someone may get bitten, but will not be maimed for life or killed, and the actuarial risk is accordingly reasonable. If a Pit Bull Terrier or a Rottweiler has a bad moment, often someone is maimed or killed, and that has now created off-the-chart actuarial risk, for which the dogs and their victims are paying the price.'"
- "If the risk of a fatal attack is normalized to Labrador Retrievers and Labrador-mix breeds (the most common registered dog in the United States), the relative risk of death related to pit bull attacks is more than 2500 times higher."
Issues with the study you've posted are outlined here: http://nationalcanineresearchcouncil.com/uploaded_files/tinymce/Bini-Commentary-FINAL.pdf
study contains lots of misinformation and inaccurate stats. Further, most ER practitioners aren't able to knowledgeably identify dog breeds. They are relying upon second-hand reports from victims and witnesses, most of whom aren't experts.
If a significant percentage of our dogs are dogs of undocumented origin, what are we to make of
all the dog bite statistics we have been collecting that purport to correlate a bite incident with a breed
of a dog?6 We would be very surprised if documented ancestries are available for any of the dogs
involved in the 82 incidents described by Dr. Bini and his collaborators as containing reliable breed
attributions of the dogs involved.
Thus, while the authors may be able to quantify the severity of injuries suffered by the victims, an
understanding of the nature of the American dog population, combined with a reading of the most
recent research on visual breed identification shows that they cannot reliably correlate each incident
with a breed of dog, whether or not a breed attribution of the dog was available.
...
The authors glamorize their paper with a claim that one of every five child visits to an emergency room
is in consequence of a dog bite. Had they queried the publicly available database of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, they would have learned that dog bite victims aged 0 - 14 constitute
less than 2% -- that is, less than one in fifty -- of the children aged 0 14 who go to an emergency room
as a result of an injury. And this does not include those who go as a result of illness. 7

You're also married (as you have indicated numerous times, WITHOUT provocation I might add). That changes the dynamic. THINK!!!

I adopted the dog several years before I was married.
--Not the best choice as a companion animal-This is BS. Take a good look at abused Pit Bulls. You wont ever find a breed that will endure the abuse and neglect thees dogs do, and still be so eager to love humans after. They only get the rep for big attitude, but none for their big hearts. For the right owner, Pits are the best companion dogs.
-Not the best choice as a service dog-Only because they have never been looked at seriously as service dogs. This has been changing. Denver has breed bans on pits, yet they are exempt if they are service dogs. Read about it here-

And one more out of a billion-
What Happens When A Pit Bull is a Service Dog? - Technorati Lifestyle
-Not the best choice as a watch dog-Any dog that barks makes a good guard dog. Pits bars, so they make fine guard dogs.
-Not the best choice as a guard dog-Same as above.
-Not the best choice as a hunting dog-Maybe not for upland birds, but Pits will hunt like crazy. You would not hunt pheasant with a shitzu. I grew up hunting pigs with Pit Bulls. Squirrel and rabbit were in this dogs skill set to.
This is not my dog, or my pic, but its a scene I have seen a thousand times. I dont hunt pigs with dogs any more. Its to gruesome for me. But a Pit will hunt, and will do so in a pack of mixed breeds to.
--Not the best choice as a sled dog-Most likely not, but a Pit Bull will freeze to death trying to be the BEST sled dog if it knew that's what you wanted.
-Not the best choice as an agility dog-Not super sexy like a Border Collie, but if you look, you can see the shame in the dogs body language for failing.
-There is no legitimate reason to expose both humans and the poor dogs themselves to the increased risk involved. And when you look at how many of the humans mauled by these dogs have been children, no rational person should even consider it.-This is true about all dogs, as well as horses, cattle, etc, etc. The fact that children are mauled so much falls 100% on the shoulders of the owners and parents.
--Not the best choice as a companion animal-This is BS. .
The breed more likely than any other to snap and turn on and kill their owner or their owner's children, elderly neighbor, etc. is NOT a good choice in companion animal.
-Not the best choice as a service dog-Only because they have never been looked at seriously as service dogs. .
Only because other breeds have proven more intelligent, trainable, and suited to various tasks.
-Not the best choice as a watch dog-Any dog that barks makes a good guard dog.
Some breeds were bred specifically for that purpose and are therefore much better at it. Pit bulls were bred for another purpose.
-Not the best choice as a hunting dog-Maybe not for upland birds, but Pits will hunt like crazy.
To suggest that a Pit can in any way compare to any type of hound as a hunting dog is beyond absurd. Perhaps you misunderstand the purpose of a hunting dog.

Not so, and there is no science to back the assertion that Pit Bulls just "Snap".

You are speaking on a subject of which you know little. from the age of 7 I rand our dogs after pigs with my Father, Grand Father, and brothers until I was 25. I strongly recommend you dont take my word for it, but anyone who is curious will very quickly see that you are just wrong all over the place.
