I wouldn't want either of those breeds.
Pit bulls maul staff and students as 21 injured in Missouri school attack
Eighteen students and three teachers were injured when two pit bull mix dogs found their way into the playground during recess.

They are great dogs if you are in their circle of trust, but I don’t trust them further than I could throw them. My nephew’s took down a deer.
I get it in some cases. If I lived in a rough neighborhood in the Bronx or Philadelphia, you probably want that last line of defense if somebody breaks in. They're just a liability otherwise, there are a lot of breeds out there.
I had a doberman and while I'd take my chances with a pit bull over a doberman, at least the doberman wasn't going to snap.

I agree all dogs need to be on a leash when in public. My response was aimed at those who posted that a pit bull doesn’t belong anywhere at anytime.
Morons tend to be as violent as they are stupid, and make choices to demonstrate it.
Gee, judge much? Our neighbors own a pit named Jackson and he's about as docile and sweet as any dog I've met. They are far from trashy...live in a 600K home in a gated community. Our best friends parents own two pits (also sweet dogs).
That said, I will NEVER own one because when my golden doodle gets grumpy and snaps at me, it's not a big deal (to me or anyone else). If a pit gets grumpy (or worse pissed off violent), there's no escaping that one. It's just not worth the risk. Has nothing to do with not being "trashy" or a "piece of $hit", but everything to with not playing Russian roulette with a dog's temperament.
Exactly the point I just made above.
I'll take neither for 200, Alex.
You'd trust our 12-year-old Shih Tzu with Cushing's disease. First, it'd take him a bit to waddle over to you and second, once he got there he'd charm you with his tail and eagerness to just be pet.
Here's our old man, Jack (never leashed):
And our 6-month, Joey (always leashed):
Pit Bull owners are very extreme fanboys and would be offended by a conversation as they consider their dog, like most dog owners, a family member. But they take that too an extreme and are easily offended. Look at Colby's post below. This was before his pit bulls killed his two kids and mauled his wife.

Should bookmark that tweet. Pit bull raised by meth addicts. What could go wrong?
4.5 million people are bitten by dogs every year, with 800k requiring hospitalization. Pit bulls are extraordinarily strong and muscular, which is mainly what makes them that many times more dangerous if they do attack.
I've heard the only automatic way to get a dog to release from biting is to grab its back legs and lift them into the air. I haven't tried it but it sounds logical.

Can I be of the opinion people who play ‘Russian roulette’ with children are trashy pieces of shit?
Don't let it be around the first sleepover when you have a half dozen 5 year old girls running around the house squealing.
Even on a leash.... That poor cat.
Lol that’s not true at all.
Ever hear of a Caucasian ovcharka? Someone in my condo building tried to be cute and circumvent the breed ban since “it didn’t mention Caucasian ovcharkas.”
Well that dog on two occasions broke through the fire rated door that enters the main corridor from the man’s unit. On one occasion that dog stood in front of and growled at a door that had a dog on the otherside. A couple was trapped in their home until animal control could come.
Our HOA lawyer found a catch all bad boy clause in the HOA documents and we were able to have him and his dog banned from living in the building.
It’s certainly my business what kind of dog my neighbor has if there are consequences to me for their decisions.
Tibetan Mastiff. That will show those pitbull owners who's boss. I hear they are great with kids too.
Good gawd. The wiki entry on that breed is hilarious. In the "temperament" section, every time they sorta try to say something nice about it, they quickly follow it with something to the effect of "but not really".Tibetan Mastiff. That will show those pitbull owners who's boss. I hear they are great with kids too.

Great with kids yes, but y’all are iowa people right? A little Dan gable style rough housing between the child in that dogs family and one of the childrens friend will be catastrophic.
I love every dog on the planet. That doesn’t mean they are good ideas to own.
Yeah. I have to say, I really like that pic as a potential avatar/profile pic.
pit bulls are the choice of someone trying to stroke their ego. Like it’s the “cool” pet to own. Degenerate morons.

Wife was kinda hot. Guy is a moron. Bet he feels kind of dumb now.Pit Bull owners are very extreme fanboys and would be offended by a conversation as they consider their dog, like most dog owners, a family member.

Yes, I am judging the book by its cover. But I'm guessing this family would have been considered a "good" owner by the pit bull fanboys.
@NDallasRuss can a pit bull take down a giraffe? And can you take down both with your bare hands?
I think pit bulls can jump pretty high, but not high enough to get to anything critical if the giraffe is standing up. It'd just latch onto a leg and hang on as long as it could.
And i think I could take down both consecutively, but maybe not concurrently. If they team up against me, I could be in trouble.
They need to classify pit bulls as deadly weapons.
If your pitbull attacks you are automatically liable: murder or assault with a deadly weapon. Doesn’t matter how “out of character” the “sweet dog”’s attack was.
