The breed of the dogs involved is not specified, but the behavior would be “normal” only for the molosser breeds, including pit bulls, Rottweilers, mastiffs, boxers, and their mixes. Of the 4,134 dogs involved in fatal and disfiguring attacks on humans since September 1982, 2,568 (62%) were pit bulls; 532 were Rottweilers; 3,326 in total were of molosser breeds. Of the 509 human fatalities, 257 were killed by pit bulls; 84 were killed by Rottweilers; 378 (69%) were killed by molosser breeds. Of the 2,293 people who were disfigured, 1,480 (61%) were disfigured by pit bulls; 306 were disfigured by Rottweilers; 1,883 (82%) were disfigured by molosser breeds. Surveys of dogs offered for sale or adoption indicate that pit bulls are less than 5% of the U.S. dog population; molosser breeds, all combined, are 9%.
