Not a statistic that is kept. The number is likely so small as to be anomalous at best. While there are thousands of animal bites that occur every year, breed results are not tracked. Some internet sites such as DogBite.org claim to compile factual data, but it appears the statistical percentages are manipulated on these sites more to push an agenda than for any factual purposes. The Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association reported last year that there were 238 deaths associated with dog attacks and that these involved 25 different breeds. The other statistics compiled by the American Humane society are important to that number:
-Approximately 92% (219) of fatal dog attacks involved male dogs, 94% (206) of which were not neutered.
-Approximately 25% (60) of fatal dog attacks involved chained dogs.
-Approximately two-thirds (159 of fatal attacks) of bites occurred on or near the victim's property, and most victims knew the dog.
-Approximately 24% (57) of human deaths involved unrestrained dogs off of the owners' property.
-Approximately 58% (138) of human deaths involved unrestrained dogs on their owners' property.
-Approximately 50% (119) of dog attacks involved children under 12 years old.
-70% (167) of dog-bite fatalities occurred among children under 10 years old
-Bite rates are higher among children who are 5 to 9 years old.
-Unsupervised newborns were 370 times more likely than an adult to be killed by a dog.
It is important to remember that dogs are animals; non-sentient, instinct driven forces of nature. No dog can be blamed for the irresponsible behaviour of a human. For every fatality that results from any animal, some person is to blame. The animal never can be blamed. Not a popular perspective, but the only true one.
A parting thought, just to put things into perspective:
There are approximately fifteen to twenty thousand deaths by homicide (people killing people) in the US yearly. The death by dog rate by comparison is just over 1%. Perhaps people should more rightly be banned than any breed of dog.
