[quote=Anonymous]The truth is that there are some dogs that were bred to be more violent. (I am a dog lover btw).  Yes, you can socialize and properly train some of the "rougher" breeds, but the fact is, you have to know what you're doing and train them right.  Its nature and nurture.  There are some breeds that don't need someone who knows what they're doing to get a "safe" dog.  My brother had two rotties.  One was the sweetest thing in the world.  The other had behavioral issues even at 8 weeks (they almost gave him back bc of concern).  They didn't train him properly either (you shouldn't tease or play tug-of-war games, etc., with a dog with this disposition).  That dog bit several people...all family.

That being said, the dogs most common to bite people are actually small breed dogs! However, these dogs aren't likely to inflict much damage.

"A study, published this week in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science, with researchers questioning 6000 dog owners had some surprising conclusions.

The dog breed most likely to bite was not the Pit Bull, Rottweiler, or German Shepherd, but …wait for it…the Dachshund. And second was the Chihuahua, followed by the Jack Russell Terrier."
