Sadly I'm on the list for the county shelters and its pit bull after pit bull and many of them are reported with wounds from the fights they get in. I know a lot of it is training but even when we used to go to the dog park every time there was a dust up between the dogs there was always a pit at the bottom of it. And these would have just been "pets." The old nurture v nature argument sometimes obscures the fact that it is hard to avoid "nature."
I've had pretty good luck with pits among my family and friends. Haven't really had any problems, but there's no denying their strength if they do decide to go crazy.
We've had two dog bites in my family. I was bit by a Rotty. My sister was bit by a Chow.
