It may surprise you, but Cocker Spaniels are right near the top of the list... and have been for seven or eight years now. Most of the bites reported tend to be from large dogs, and that's simply because they do the most damage. However, I wouldn't be at all shocked to learn that the real "bite leaders" are small dogs like Toy Poodles, Pomeranians, and Chihuahuas. People get bit by these little guys every day - but no one reports the bites because they aren't serious. There's a big difference between the imprint in your leg left by a Rottie vs. a Shih Tzu.

Dalmatians can often get aggressive and snap, as well as Chow Chows

German Shepherd dogs are at the top of the list, then wolf-hybrids. However, those are only of the reported cases. Bites from small dogs are rarely reported & happen very often.

'Pit' Bull Terriers do not have a 'locking jaw' and in fact lost a bite pressure test as compared to German Shepherds and Rotties. Course, if you want to know which dog produces the most fatalities from their bites, the answer is overwhelmingly pit-bull.

How do you know if year dog is a pedygree?

You need to get a breed test done on it. Pedigree can refer to the lineage or genealogical descent of people, whether documented or not, or of animals, whether purebred or not. This can only be known through testing.


Why are pitbulls so protective of their home?

Depending on how loyal a pit bull is to its owner, a pit can be defensive, but will calm down once they see their master is alright. Unfortunately, people use pit bulls only as guard dogs to scare people away. This is a wrong use of the breed and only reestablishes its reputation.

Which breed-of-a-dog is the best-to-buy?

I think the best breed of dog is a labrador retriever. They don't have long hair, and they are smart. (P.S. They are good to retrieve stuff!) If you are a runner, I suggest you get a big dog, not a little dog. Toy Poodles and Shih-Tzus are cute. And Pit-Bulls and Maltese are nice. (If you are worried about pit bulls biting you, you actually have a better chance of a cocker-spaniel, shih-tzu, or chihuahua biting you).

Wow you truly got me thinking of what the oldest domestic cat breed was (out of what has been documented) so I went on the research lol I found the oldest documented breed was the Siamese. This cat originated in Siam which is now known as Thailand, similar looking cats were illustrated and written about in the manuscripts called Tamra Maew (Cat Poems in our language). This manuscript was said to be written between 1350-1767 AD
