For starters, google is one’s good friend when looking to debunk myths about pit bulls. Looking at the first couple pages by googling pit bull myths or pit bull myths debunked, for example, can give some insight. The facts are that pit bulls have been owned by criminals and those with tendencies for criminal behavior more often than other dogs and it is the behavior of the owners that made them dangerous. Also, pit bulls are often too difficult to classify for groups like the CDC, which could for example classify American bulldogs and similar breeds as “pit bulls”, for starters. Studies showing the tendencies for aggression in pit bulls relative to other breeds, under the presumption that they are raised by owners who know how to train and work with a dog correctly, buts them below many other breeds, including, for example, poodles and labradors.

Fine. Google. I have.

Please direct me to one page, one study, one statistic that says pit bulls are less likely to bite than most other breeds.

With 300+ dog breeds recognized, and 160+ recognized for AKC showing, telling me that poodles and labradors bite more often than pit bulls falls 158 to 298 breeds short of supporting your 'fact.'
