I would euthanize my dogs if they were to 'attack' or bite for no reason. (I'd try to decipher a reason first, of course.)

I suppose Elegy will post the real reason, but what I think he/she is saying is they just won't risk it. If you have a lab, golden, st. Bernard (even after the movie cujo) and it bites someone, no big deal, you'll have to pay for medical bills and it will pass. People will still be able to own those breeds of dogs and nothing more will be said. So if you have a dog that reacts questionably in certain situations you can keep that dog safe and the people around it safe with a reasonable degree of certainty, and if an accident happens, its looked upon as an accident. BUT if a pittbull bites someone, wheter its warrented or not, its labeld strung up and paraded through the streets. Having a dog that wasn't 100% rock solid in all situations bodes a much higher degree for disaster. One wrong move by one of these dogs in this day in age will result in an onslaught from the media and public officials that know squat about dogs. I think most pitt owners would rather keep their dogs and rehab the image they have by getting rid of any remotely questionable animals so that accident doesn't have a chance to happen. I hope that made some sense.
