There is no such breed of dog as "pit bull". It is a term that used to mean any dog whose owner fought it in the pit. It is erroneously applied to define at least twenty-five to thirty actual breeds of dogs. There are now seventy-five breeds of dogs named in breed specific legislation under the headings of either "pit bull" bans/restrictions, or wolf-hybrid bans/restrictions.
Responsible Dog Owners of the Western states calls for accuracy in the media through our Position Statements. Our press releases carry the heading "PRESS RELEASE". Not one of our removed posts was a press release.
The Center for Disease Control used to rely upon media reports to determine dog bites by breed. The reports were so often wrong in their breed determinations that the CDC has entirely stopped reporting dog bites by breed.
