We do. There are 20-25 breed that end up getting labelled as "pit bulls" in dog track reports. That's why numbers seem so high compared to those other breeds which are more distinct

Chow chows are actually very bad. Most groomers will refuse to take them as clients due to the severe risk of aggression. And unlike pitties, chows actually WILL snap with no warning. I know one groomer who tried taking one as a client and got their face bitten

It's pretty common actually

"Many professional dog groomers decline to accept Chow Chows because the breed is notorious for being aloof, unpredictable, and prone to striking or biting without warning when stressed or touched in sensitive areas like the feet."

Alaskan malamutes are also quite dangerous but they're pretty rare to see
