What maes one dog breed more dangerous than another2007-11-25 2:53:32

If you ignore the breed traits (ANY breed traits, not just aggressiveness; in ANY breed of dog), that is showing much ignorance and it's a recipe for disaster.

(And 'disaster' doesn't have to mean someone gets bitten or attacked; it could be a person just can't handle an active dog or a dog that requires special grooming, so the dog is not cared for correctly or gets dumped at the shelter.)

It is the owner but there are definitely different characteristics to different breeds. One of the biggest factors in dog bites / attacks is supervision. The CDC reports on dog bites/attacks clearly show the highest incidents are of UNSUPERVISED males between the ages of 7-18. If you are thinking about getting a dog for you or your family you should check out some nonspecific dog sites. Ones that are not going to be biased.

I truely believe it's not the dog's fault... The owners and especially the breeders are responsible for breeding dangerous dogs.

Also the time to train a dog to be not agreesive is before 6 months. ie treat the dog as would treat someone you really love.

The owner.

Most dog owners treat the dogs like garbage.

(I.E: My cousins dog was abused they put ciggeretes out on his body and stuff, he's a strong dog..but is such a sweetheart)
