Noone that has an arrest record showing any kind of violence should be an owner of any dog period. Don't blame the animals...



Apply it to all dogs then. I know some vicious ankle biters thaty could use a little training. Including the one that bit my pit bull on the nose last July.



That ankle biter doesn't weigh 75 lbs and break bones with it's jaws.



Any dog can break bones with it's jaws. Pit bulls have no stronger bite than any other breed. 75 lbs is large for a pit bull. A "proper pit bull" wieghs between 40-60 pounds. They have been tending to breed larger over the last 150 years as Americans tend to like "larger dogs" The pregenitors to the APBT or Staffordhshire Terrier rarely exceeded 40 pounds in proper trim.
