Pitbulls are everywhere. There are barely Rottweilers. Of course pitbull bites are more common. The Rottweiler could be the meanest dog in the world, but if it doesn't have the population it's not going to have the bites.

Pitbulls are not everywhere.

They make up ~8% of the total U.S. dog population.

But they're responsible for the highest percentage of bites.

There's no getting around it, there's just something seriously wrong with pitbulls.

That's not how statistics work. There's something like 10x more pitbulls than Rottweilers. So just to match the pitbull numbers, Rottweilers would have to be a full 10x more aggressive than pitbulls. But if you control for population, Rottweilers turn out even more dangerous.

Also, I think 8% is a pretty big percentage for a single breed. That would mean almost 1 in every 10 dogs you see will be a pitbull.

Ugh.

I'm not trying to hate on Rottweilers. I'm sure most of them are just doing what they think is best. But they are also one of the more dangerous breeds.
