I was going to reply back that I heard pitbulls were nanny dogs but searching it up, it’s not true:
Unfortunately, while there is lots of evidence that Pitbulls and children could and can form loving bonds, and reams of vintage photographs showing babies and children posing with Pitbull breeds, there is no evidence that they were ever called Nanny Dogs at the time, and certainly weren’t bred for the purpose.
Nah, I’ve had three pitbulls. They require a shit load of training, patience and situational awareness. Great dogs if they are set up for success. Obviously, this is my anecdotal experience. But, I’d be willing to bet they produce some of the worst results when attacking people statistically.
It is what one would expect from Mr Worldwide

Golden are BY FAR the most aggressive breed I’ve worked with. Usually food aggression, sometimes possessive aggression, but it’s not ever the breeds fault. Shitty owners see other well behaved Golden’s and think “easy dog” then get one. They are easy dogs, they are just HIGHLY trainable. If you don’t train them and socialize them, they are worse than bully breeds in my experience. A lot heavier too.
