[quote=SK in CV] It’s not anectdotal, as is most of the anti-pit bull data. (like i said, we count bites. we don’t count non-bites.)

Breeders generally begin breeding when a female is around 2. It’s possible much younger. 100 years divided by 2 equals 50 generations. I’m guessing an average would probably be closer to maybe 25 generations a century. Compared to humans at maybe 4. My point was, if the intent was there, breeders could “create” great danes the size of chihuahuas in a single human lifetime. Same thing could also be done with almost any behavioral trait.[/quote]

Right. A ‘near’ accurate # of dogs in this country is not available, which deems reported bite incidence statistic immediately bunk. Broken down further, because DNA testing is not accurate, # of dogs breed type by name is not possible. Therefore, Pit Mix is a popular title thrown around, references nothing. So by ATTS, ‘pit bulls’ passing at rate of 86%, means even less.

OK, point understood. Thought you had knowledge of specific breeders practicing such idea and documenting process/results.
