Dog bite severity varies by the breed of dog, and studies have found that pit bull–type dogs have both a high rate of reported bites and a high rate of severe injuries, compared to other non–pit bull–type dogs.

Pit bull–type dogs are extensively used in the United States for dogfighting, a practice that has continued despite being outlawed. Several nations and jurisdictions restrict the ownership of pit bull–type dogs through breed-specific legislation.

On the 26th of March 2025, US federal authorities announced the arrest of former US National Football League (NFL) player LeShon Johnson, following what the US Department of Justice described as the ‘largest federal dogfighting bust in history’. The operation, which took place last October, saw 190 pit bull–type dogs seized from Johnson’s property in Oklahoma, marking the highest number of dogs ever confiscated from a single individual in a federal dogfighting case.
