My only dog bite that broke skin was from a Lab. I don't have a fear of Labs, but will look at a Pit with suspicion till the cows come home. It's not the dog I don't trust, it's the owners. The recent history of the breed gives me no confidence in either however.
fair enough...there are bad pits out there. lots of them. and I wouldnt want ANYONE to come into contact with one of those dogs, however, for every bad pitties, there are dozens of good ones.
i dont recommend you approach random pitbulls, or any unknown dog for that matter.
I just dont want people discrediting an entire breed because of the actions of a few.
Thats the equivalent of saying "Blacks/Whites/mexicans/asians killed a person, we should get rid of them all!!"
