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.
