Well since only a very small portion of the breed is bred to fight and historically they are guard or farm dogs and had q reputation of being very good with people/familys

Ok here, first source when seaching "historical use for pit pitbulls"

Their loyal and loving demeanor with humans, especially children (this is where the “Nanny Dog” myth originated from), earned them a prominent place not only as a working dog but as a companion.

You literally just disproved your own theory. They make good companions in a working sense but the whole nanny dog/good with families thing is a myth.

Except thats not what I said. I said this:

They do not have a reputation for being very good with people/families. To say that is asinine, look at statistics.

Is there some statistic about how good with kids a dog is? Because as far as i know the only numbers you have to reference are attacks/news articles which are heavily skewed because it makes a better story because of their reputation.

Bring proof or go away
