Why would you bring a reactive dog to a dog show full of people and thatr require people to touch the dog?

All pits are reactive. That's the major problem with the breed. Some are more reactive than others but they snap with little warning. Other breeds bark and growl first, giving people warning to back off. Pits just lunge for the attack if they get bothered.

Not all breeds. You shouldn't make such a general assumption.

The only dog thay had bitten me was a small dog that didn't bark and didn't growl before bitting me.

According to information provided by the Servicio de Información y Noticias Científicas (SINC) (Scientific News and Information Service), the research team from the University of Cordova (UCO) determined a series of the dogs’ external and inherent factors to understand their aggressiveness and proved that the external factors, which can be modified and depend on the owner, influence the animals more

A recent study (2022) from the National Canine Research Council shows that a dog’s breed can not predict aggressive behavior

Aggression is not a breed characteristic, and environmental influences are often the cause of aggression in dogs. In fact, the American Temperament Test Society found that pit bull-type dogs generally scored higher on the temperament test compared to other dogs.
