[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are thinking about getting a dog and have been doing a lot of thinking and researching. there are a few "dumb" questions that I have and wanted to ask for honest answers. Have you ever had your dog bite a person? Or another dog? Is this a huge concern of dog owners or am I overthinking the worst case scenario. FYI we are not looking to get an "aggressive" type dog but just a standard dog.  TIA[/quote]

I have never had a dog as a child or adult that bit a dog or person.  As an adult I would get rid of a dog that bit unless  my dog was attacked or the dog went after a burglar etc .    I've had dogs that were attacked by other dogs.   Fortunately I was with my dogs and most attacks were on my property. I would not take a dog to a dog park.  I hate stray dogs or those off leash.

So I have always been more afraid for my dogs than of my dogs.   Once while pushing a stroller [fortunately DH was with us] my on leash dog was attacked by a stray doberman.  We made it into a house-people saw and opened their door- police came and got the dog with wire on long sticks.  [/quote]
