All breeds, big & small, "bully" breeds & "family" dogs can & will kill people.

One suprising conclusion of several studies is the fact that many varieties of dogs have been involved in a fatal human attack for one reason or another.

Dog deaths in a 20-year period:

  • Pit Bull & Pit Bull mix at 66 human deaths.
  • Rottweiler and Rottweiler mix was responsibe for 39 human death
  • German Shepherd dog & mix were responsible for 17 human deaths
  • Husky type dog was responsible for 15 human deaths
  • Malamute responsible for 12 human deaths
  • Chow Chow was responsible for 8 deaths
  • Doberman was responsible for 9 human deaths
  • Saint Bernard was responsible for 7 human deaths
  • Great Dane was also responsible for 7 deaths
  • Akita killed 4 people
  • Bulldog, 2
  • Mastiff, 2
  • Boxer, 2
  • Believe it or not the Labrador Retriever was responsible for 1 death while Lab mixes were responsible for 4 deaths

The following dogs were responsible for killing one human each during these 20 years: The Bullmastiff, Cheasapeake Bay Retriever, West Highland Terrier, Japanese Hunting Dog, Newfoundland, Coonhound, Sheepdog, Rhodesian Ridgeback & cocker Spaniel.
