I was speaking of your chosen website of referring data from. I wasn't disputing the numbers she has compared with wikipedia. The problem with this is these statistics on dog bites and fatalities are skewed. That's because any dog that looks like a Pit bull will be labeled as a Pit bull. So even if a dog that was a Labrador/Pit/Chow but resembles a Pit bull they will write it down as a Pit bull.
It's funny that you should now refer to The National Canine Research Council. That website is the opposite of the other one... it is very reliable with accurate data. But you need to dig deeper into that site. Numbers don't mean a lot to me. Research does. Take a look at the Council's
The Pit Bull Placebo. It's quite a long read, but is well worth it.
