You know you could post those vids from liveleak that shows pitbull attacks weekly, where they hold on for dear life.

the way it was stated seemed less question, than assurance. "Your dog would stop, right? but I doubt a pitbull would"
As for the pitbulls holding on for dear life, that goes back to instinct from dogs bred for bull baiting. They were trained to subdue Bulls by grasping the fleshy part of the nose, without causing damage. Ultimately, when a "Pitbull" attacks, they try to attach themselves to a point, and wrestle the victim into submission. Obviously, by instinct, humans and most other animals will react by attempting to break that hold, and defend themselves, which leads to additional bites. If you played dead, like the old Bear logic, a "Pitbull" would not continue to bite, it would simply hold it's ground. Unlike most other breeds, who by instinct bite repeatedly to kill it's prey.

Yes. Yes I could.

The point was, how can you look at a picture of one breed and assume they'd behave in one manner, and then assume another breed would behave in the opposite manner, simply based on appearance.
I don't live in denial, and pretend that either of my dogs aren't capable of attacking another animal or human. They are animals, which is why I take it upon myself to ensure they are well trained, and well cared for, to reduce that risk as much as possible.
