1. Pitt Bulls
With a fearsome reputation, these dogs are not inherently aggressive fighters, as some people may believe. The pit bull term encompasses more breeds, which makes the breed misidentified most of the time by media and even by shelters. This issue makes it difficult to know the clear attack statistics of this breed.
However, on their name have been reported since 1982 5,994 attacks causing bodily harm, 421 resulting in deaths. This makes an average of 166.5 attacks per year.
Some pit bulls may show aggressive behavior, and this is due to various factors such as genetics or lack of training. Many of these dogs are affectionate and intelligent, and they make a loving companion in the presence of a knowledgeable owner.
Responsible ownership is crucial, and it involves providing proper training for them, socialization, and managing their energetic nature to keep them loyal and well-behaved companions.

That is so very good of you sharing this knowledge.
My little Maltese is a one person dog. He is sweet with all our family but not with strangers. We love him to death and really do spoil him. He loves his daily walk and it is good for me too.
Wow! You were right on 2 of them! Do some real research.
I have successfully owned and bred AKC registered American Stafforshire Terriers. They are loyal, gentle and protective of their human families. Mine were part of our family. They were never aggressive. I bred them for 20 years. We gave them lots of love and affection. They were never hyperactive. They are related to the Pit Bull. Pit bulls have a long pointed snout. My Pit Bull was gentle and affectionate. She loved to play. I firmly believe that some people raise their dogs (of any breed)…to hate and be aggressive. This is very sad and tragic. Perhaps, owners need to be screened before allowing them to have these magnificent dogs.
I do not believe the labs are dangerous dogs.
