They are #3 on the Top Dogs bite list. (pounds per square inch) I seen it on the Discovery Channel
#1 - Hihenia(sp) 700lbs or so
#2 - Rotti - 625lbs
#3 - Pitt - 5 something

I didn't read this entire thread, it's too long and I have A.D.D.
But... I wanted to share:
I owned a Pit who I loved SO much. He was gentle, sweet, silly, a lover of cats & kids, well-behaved, and never aggressive. He was treated with love and kindness.
One day a neighborhood kid left the gate open and my pup got out.
He was out for about 1 minute tops before I got him inside.
In that time he bit two ladies who were walking down the street. They did nothing to provoke - he just ran up and bit them.
I was shocked and heartbroken. I truely LOVED this dog - he was our baby.
I no longer have him, and will never own another pit.
They can be raised properly and be loving to your family - but... they are very powerful and there is no denying that they can be unpredictable. Any dog may bite - but it's a Pit's strength coupled with that uncertainty that makes them a danger.

I was at a friend's house last night with two standard and one mini dachs. The little one chased baby G around all night nipping at him. All G had to do was get up and try to walk to another part of the room. I grew up with a min pin that would try to attack anyone.

More dangerous, yes. Stronger, no. I would hate to see what is left of the Pit that attacks my GSD.
Pits are overprotective in "most" cases due to breed. Great family dogs but unpredictable around strangers.

Pitbull deaths and bites far exceed any other breed.

And if you'd of taken the link I posted and actually read it the CDC admits that their stats are crap.
