Hello; Allow me to stress to numbers again. A dog type ( the pitt bull type) that makes up about six percent of the total dog population ( Thats 6 out of 100 dogs) is responsible for over half the fatal maulings in 2014. I did not check the other years but these numbers are similar to a study done about three years ago.

I think it is misleading. Maybe 6% are pure Pitbulls but any part pitbull, Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Terrier, Boxer are lumped in.

hello; I do detect the sarcasm. I have provided links about the number of deaths this type of dog is responsible for. 6% of dogs make up over 50% of fatal maulings. So far not reply from you on this. These are devastating numbers to my way of thinking.
 
I thought I addressed this in my last post"I think it is misleading. Maybe 6% are pure Pitbulls but any part pitbull, Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Terrier, Boxer are lumped in after an attack." DNA is generally not pulled, many part Bull Dogs are classed as part Pits.
 
Who Is Impacted by Breed-Specific Laws?
Regulated breeds typically comprise the “pit bull” class of dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers and English Bull Terriers. In some areas, regulated breeds also include a variety of other dogs like American Bulldogs, Rottweilers, Mastiffs, Dalmatians, Chow Chows, German Shepherds, Doberman Pinschers or any mix of these breeds—and dogs who simply resemble these breeds

what it says on the site cited is that they were used for hunting. but most dogs were used for hunting. like i said, mastiff were taken into war. but because theyre less common, theyre bred more responsibly. you dont have tough guys breeding sisters with brothers with moms with second liter brothers.... i really think its a numbers thing.

your eliminate the breed idea would just lead to countless breeds of dogs being removed. honestly, if humanity has show us anything, i bet if all we had were yorkies, people would fight yorkies. then we'd have aggressive yorkies running around... bro.

Hello; Yes you did reply, apparently while i was typing that post. Got a delay on that one.

I did find another link about the identification of pit bull dogs. Here it is.

I would say within 10 generations you could take any breed and create a highly aggressive line of selectively bred dogs.
