[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The breed that bites the most in US = German Shepherd.
The breed that holds second place = Pitt Bull.

Why invite problems?  Why keep these kinds of dogs in residential areas?  Even the nicest dog of these breeds can snap; and the owners know this but elect to take on the liability of ownership anyway.[/quote]

Well, I guess my dogs win then!  I have two gorgeous German Shepherd Dogs.  And they would both bite the hell out of you....if you were a sloppy joe.

All the kids in our neighborhood play with our German Shepherds.  They LOVE kids!  They've never shown even a hint of aggression.  And they've been raised around children.  I still would never in a million years allow my dogs to play with children without me closely supervising.

Would they bite?  Under the right circumstances, of course they would. They are animals.  They aren't people.  They don't think nor behave the same way humans do.  The biggest mistake people make with their dogs is treating dogs the same way they do children.  Any dog will bite.  It's the owner/trainers responsibility to ensure that the dog is properly trained and socialized, and most importantly, properly supervised.

All you have to do is look at the picture in the article to figure out what went wrong during the interview.  No one with any common sense would put her face that close to the face of a dog she doesn't know really well.  The dog bit her because in doggy language, she was threatening him.  The owner should never have allowed the dog to be put in that position.  And the host is obviously clueless about dog behavior.[/quote]
