I understand people have mixed feelings on pitbulls, I wouldn't hurt one or fight one, but I am just not sure that is the breed for me. And you are right little dogs do have a tendency to bite more, the only difference is they don't bite with the verocity to latch on, hold on, and rip the meat from a persons bones. I had a brother in-law who got attacked by a pit, it was a family dog, never had a problem at all, been to there house numerous times, all of the sudden one day it was playing with him, kinda chewing a little on his shoe, and absolutley went OFF. Put him in the hospital for 3 days, too many stitches to count over every part of his body, it was scary.
