Reply #118: Whether or not the owner expects the dog to pass or fail is irrelevent

[NeedleCast]

Logically, I would expect there to be more doberman and shepard bites and injuries that pit bulls based on the general ownership, but the tests pretty clearly show that Dobermans, especially, fail the test more often than Pits. I feel like a lot of it is the fact that most people wouldn't know a Pit from an Am Staff or the fact that if it looks anything like a pit bull, people call it a pit bull. Like I've said several times in this thread, what would you expect the local headline to say if my Pit/Beagle mix attacked a child?

"Beagle mix attacks child in park!"

or

"Pit Bull attacks child in park!"
