See, this is why I hate dog people. don't get me wrong, I hate cats too.
However, dog people are always the ones who say, "Oh, I know my dog is barking and growling like a deranged retard with retard strength, but he won't hurt nobody" while not having them on a motherfricking leash.

And how many breeds of dogs are there?

he top five domesticated breeds thought to have the strongest jaw are all large dogs known for their bite. They are generally the same breeds attributed with the highest rate of attacks on people, and they are often listed as dangerous dogs.
Pit Bull
The Pitbull has become a breed synonymous with strong jaws, biting and danger. While this dog does not have the highest bite force of the dogs National Geographic tested, it is one of the top four. The Pitbull bite was measured at 235 pounds of pressure. It is the most highly recognized breed for jaw and bite strength.
German Shepherd
Although the German Shepherd was originally bred as a herding dog, it has been used as a guard and police dog with good reason. This is a powerful and intelligent breed. The German Shepherd's bite measured 238 bite force, just slightly above the Pitbull.
Rottweiler
The Rottweiler, or Rottie as it is often called, has a huge head and large jaws. This breed bit with 328 pounds of pressure. The Rottweiler is considered the second most dangerous breed of dog; the Pitbull is number one.
Doberman
The Doberman is a highly energetic dog that can be very aggressive. The bite force is reputed to be 600 pounds of pressure; however that seems to be largely unsubstantiated.
Mastiff
Many breeders say that the Mastiff has the strongest jaw. Reportedly, the Mastiff has a bite force of 552 pounds. If true, this would make it stronger than any other domesticated dog on record.
The ability to exert 235 or 600 pounds of pressure is irrelevant. The end result is the same if either amount of bite pressure is place on a child's neck or even head. The child will almost certainly suffer mortal wounds.

Look, I'm against pit bulls. But here's the real reason people should be too, whether you already are, or you aren't.
Pit bulls do not necessarily act differently than other dogs do. They can be loving, well behaved pets. But when something does happen, even if it's only one time in the dog's life, pit bulls do much more damage than other dogs, and therein lies the problem with the breed. It isn't that they hate babies, it's that when your child pokes your terrier in the eye, and that dog bites that child, it's not going to physically be able to maim the child. Pit Bulls, well, they can. So you have a much more dangerous situation whether the dog is well raised or not. Pit bulls are weapons, whether they love you or not, and they are territorial by nature, which is all you need to know, imeo.
Finally someone who understands a pit bull in this thread. All these people know about pit bulls is that they kill and they are bad dogs. In all that you're getting, make sure you get some understanding.

my post wasn't sticking up for pit bulls, my post was showing they are in the top 5 most dangerous dogs.

Somewhere from 200-400 I'm guessing... but you can always cross breed and create a new so not exactly sure

They're not just in the top 5, they're #1. Like I said, once you get to the amount of pounds of force any of those 5 dogs can exert, it really does not matter. What puts the pit above all those other dogs is it's aggressive nature.

What is the total population of "pit bull type dogs"?

I don't necessarily disagree with you. But my family lab got out of the fence and mauled a couple people. He had been totally sweet and normal, and just snapped. He was well over 100 lbs and could cause every bit as much damage as a 60lb+ pit.

not sure but I think Labs are the most popular breed.

Its not the breeds fault that its typical tPOS people that normally own them.
It is true that Pitbulls are more physically capable (than 99% of dog breeds) of inflicting serious bodily harm. But this problem is made exponentially worse by the people that want to own pitbulls so that they can essentially walk around in public with a weapon.

Those statistics about pit bulls are a bit misleading. If you're the kind of person who plans on trying to make your dog aggressive, what breed will you get? A poodle? No, a pit bull. No doubt they are genetically more aggressive than most breeds, but 59% of deaths? That has a little something to do with the type of people raising them.

pretty much any dog that weighs 40+ lbs could kill a kid if they went haywire
It just so happens pits tend to be owned by POS people

According to Duplantis, a large pit bull owned by the girl's mother, attacked the girl. He says when the mother tried to rescue her daughter, the dog turned and attacked her.
The child, identified as Mia Derouen, suffered facial and head injuries. She died at a nearby hospital about an hour after the attack.
Duplantis said the dog was still aggressive and running wild in the apartment when emergency personnel arrived, forcing the mother to barricade herself in a bedroom and pass her injured daughter to rescue workers through a window.
Police shot the pit bull through another window, but the dog jumped up and attacked officers after they entered the apartment. Officers shot at the pit bull again before the animal ran outside towards bystanders. Officers then fired at the pit bull again, this time fatally wounding it.
Rabies??

was he old? he may have had hip issues and been provoked.
Anything with a mouth and teeth are capable and likley to bite when provoked. I personally would be very protective of a small child around most large dog breeds, not just pits. Almost every little kid i see doesn't know how to pet or play with dogs. They love hitting them and yanking on their tails. In most cases the dogs seem intelligent enough to know not to bite the child and put up with it. But I am sure at times they just have enough.
