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.

Why do people judge your dog by the breed such as that dog is soft oh don't look at that dog it'll rip your head off?

Most stereotypes are based somewhere in reality. For example, rottweilers are considered bad and vicious dogs by most people because rottweilers often are bad and vicious dogs (hence their use for guard dog duty). Most dogs get overlooked because of what TV and the Media show of them. EG rottweilers killing little babies and German shepherds biting anyone who crosses their path but these dogs are GUARDING BREEDS and with the safety and COMMON SENSE many people love to have these breeds. but also that people say that lickle breeds like the chihuahua and Maltese are cute and soft but i have known one or two chihuahuas who are meaner than a German shepherd. so ..... DONT JUDGE THE BREED JUDGE THE OWNER AND PERSONALILTY OF THE DOG !!!!!!!

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).

Has a pitbull ever bitten someone?

Oh honey, of course a pitbull has bitten someone before. Just like any other dog breed, pitbulls are capable of biting if they're not properly trained or socialized. But let's not forget, it's not about the breed, it's about the owner being responsible for training and caring for their furry friend.
