Right back atcha.
Pit bulls have a really, really bad reputation because the breed has earned it.
Not every dog in the breed, but overall. Yes.
Retrievers have NOT earned that same reputation.
Retrievers are classified as "soft mouth" dogs.
Even if a retriever bit someone (which I have not personally heard of), odds are they would not latch down so tight it would take a baseball bat or a bullet to get them to let go without ripping off a considerable amount of flesh.
No, the retrievers i have had the pleasure of interacting with might play and grab and rough-house a little, but I seriously doubt any of them would ever rip my face completely off or tear my throat or kill my kids in a similar fashion.
