My 30 pound dog was attacked by three unleashed pit bulls

190. Joey, I'm familiar with the history of Pit Bulls.

The American Pit Bull Terriers of today are direct descendants of Irish and English pit fighting dogs, old breeds that were specifically bred for pit fighting with, among other creatures, other dogs. I will concede however that I've been wrong to have used the words "to kill other dogs", although that's what they ultimately do if no one intervenes because of their superior power, speed, and athleticism, not to mention, tenaciousness.



Yes, I know Staffordshire Terriers weren't bred to fight other dogs, per se, but they are different from the American Pit Bull Terriers in size and strength -although they do look like them. In fact, they look like a small version of the American Pit Bull Terrier (see a Staffy below), but I've never seen a well-bred Staffordshire Terrier attack other dogs unprovoked. Ever. But there are countless cases where American Pit Bull Terriers have done just that.
