Happens far too often, sick of hearing "it's not the dog it's the owner" as well. Simple fact is, if that was true, it wouldn't involve the same breeds so often. I'm not saying go out and kill all dogs of certain breeds - just stop breeding them! In 15 years you can then make them 100% illegal to own, as they should no longer exist and anyone who has one has gotten it illegitimately. There are very few viable reasons that someone "needs" to own these large, powerful dog breeds in this country. Even as guard dogs there's no excuse. There are plenty of viable guard dog breeds that don't have such complex temperaments.

There are and most dog breeds COULD do severe damage, but there's a constant denial that there are some major temperament issues with certain breeds. Combine that issue with it being a large/strong breed and it's just a recipe for disaster.
