They are related yes. But the American Pit Bull is considered particularly dangerous because of more than just potentially aggressive temperament. The Pit Bull has been bred with a particular jaw shape, and angle of teeth which means it does far more damage when it does bite. There are a handful of dog breeds which this carries through for.
