You are avoiding the question.

Why aren't pit bull type dogs used as working dogs? If these dogs are as great as you seem to be claiming, surely they would be worthy of joining the ranks of other breeds that are chosen as working dogs.

I'm not sure what caused these dangerous creatures to suddenly appear in the last 50 years or so. Maybe it was the A-bomb. Can you imagine what would've happened had our ancestors been faced with cohabitating with canines for, say, the last 20,000 (some say 100,000 ) years or so? [Freak]

With no nobody to ban them, they would've eaten all the babies & early man would've died out.
You are getting very ridiculous and not even taking the subject seriously.

Regarding breeds of dogs, it is my understanding that most breeds of dogs have been created by man within the last 100-150 years.

The pit bull types of dogs were bred for a specific purpose.

It may seem to you that I am taking sides in this debate. I am merely pointing out that the argument that there are no bad dogs, only bad owners, is not a very strong argument and doesn't really hold up too well in light of statistics.

The argument that pit bulls just get a bad rap because of some ingrained bias on the part of the public doesn't hold water.
