Bite reports and statistics that name Pit Bulls are unreliable for the simple fact that not very many people can properly identify a real Pit Bull, not to mention that pit bull is also considered to be a, not necessarily a specific breed. For instance, statistics naming pit bulls as accountable for x-number of bites are including a very large demographic of dogs. American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American Bulldogs, mixes of any of the above breeds, or mixes that resemble any of the above breeds, (and other misidentified canines) all fall under the pit bull heading. Result? The Pit Bull breed gets wrongfully blamed, when in fact, the bites attributed should actually be divided between a large number of breeds/mixes. Looking at it this way, one can see that the number of bites/attacks actually committed by Pit Bulls is significantly lower than what is represented. ~Suzy
