so you get a bunch of Labrador bites too?..with maybe cocker spaniel, poodle, and border collie maulings mixed in?
I'm sure the ER gets dog bites from several different types of breeds of dogs.
However...the ones that actually need to be admitted, that require plastic surgery....are typically the pit bull bites. Again...because of the strength of the jaws. I don't work in the ER so I couldn't tell you what kind of bites exactly they see. I just see the ones that end up admitted to the pediatric floor for antibiotics and a plastic surgery consult.
That's the issue. A poodle is capable of biting a child...it's just that the child isn't gonna be disfigured because of it.
And we've had cases where the pit was the family dog and had been around the child a lot. The family didn't raise the dog to be agressive and the dog had no history of it. Again..the child may have taken it's toy or gotten too close to it's food and the dog, sensing a threat to it's territory, attacked.

The combination of molosser breeds, including pit bulls, curs, rottweilers, presa canarios, cane corsos, mastiffs, dogo argentinos, fila brasieros, sharpeis, boxers, and their mixes, inflict:
87% of attack to adults
81% that result in maiming
Embody 9.2%+ of the total dog population

A breed of dog that does that without being abused doesn't need to be around people. The breed is fricked in the head period.

This is the reason I cannot fathom why anyone in their right mind would own one of these ticking time bombs.
