I am with you on this one. It is a stupid myth.

Funny you should post this. She told me the same thing yesterday! I said that I didn't think that was possible. THEN, she said that pitbulls' teeth are different. When they bite down they hold on so their "victim" can't pull out. Is this true? I hadn't heard that one, so I couldn't say anything...

Hi Kirby, that's a new one on me. I've never heard anything about pit's teeth being different. I grew up around several breeds of dog and all those dogs teeth appeared to be the the same to me, but then again i'm not a vet. xoxoxo titus

this is some info I got from a nother site.

Every day people are bitten by dogs (a lot of times by their own!).

This is not necessarily an aggressive breed of dog. I have two pit bulls and a lab and I GUARANTEE you my lab would bite you before either one of the pits.

Here is some more info to consider

“Statements concerning pit bulls ‘chewing’ with their molars while holding with their canine teeth and other statements which have pit bulls biting differently or more powerfully than other breeds have been made by people very unfamiliar with how a dog’s jaw structure works. After 30 years as a canine aggression expert, schutzhund trial decoy, expert witness on dog bites for the Seattle and Tacoma police departments, I concur with the conclusions reached by Dr. Brady Barr working with the National Geographic Society’s bite study which showed the pit bull’s bite to be unremarkable when compared to other breeds.” Diane Jessup, international speaker on canine aggression (2)

Pit Bulls are great with kids. They weren't referred to
as the "nanny's dog" for nothing that's for sure. (3)

The Pit Bull was so popular in the early 1900's they
were our mascot not only in World War One, but World
War Two as well. They were featured on recruiting and
propoganda posters during this time period. (3)

Most “pit bulls” are not really pit bulls!
Pit bulls are probably the most misunderstood dog in the United States. Often, an aggressive dog that has a big head and short hair is mistakenly identified as a pit bull and unfortunately this makes for good headline news, even if it is false. Do you think you can identify a pit bull? Take this quiz and see how you do. (4)
Here's the direct link to the quiz. I own 2 pits and it took me FIVE tries to pick the correct breed!

Hey Gunner, I couldn't find the actual quiz... I don't think the link you posted is complete. Could you try again please?

Thanks for the info, Gunner. You're so smart!
