Other aggressive breeds: pit bulls
This shouldn’t surprise anyone because pit bulls, even if they are lovable, have quite a reputation for being violent. The term “pit bull” has become an umbrella that encompasses numerous bulldogs and terriers, instead of simply applying to a single breed.
Over a period of 13 years, the group was mainly responsible for 2/3 of all fatal dog bites in the United States, with 284 deaths. If the numbers don’t shock you, it could shock you to learn that only 6% of all dogs in this country can actually fit the pit bull category. Spending numerous generations as hunting dogs and fighting dogs, they were bred to be increasingly more dangerous.
