re: What should be the liability for dog owners?

I've never heard of a Schnauzer that attacked a person before

Schnauzers are usually cool as hell. A little headstrong and cocky but pleasant enough in my experience.

You have not met my ex's little shite Schnauzer. A kid in a bike it just and easy target for him. Told her she's going to get sued one day, or the dog will get shot.

All good questions, which is why someone should possibly face criminal charges.

Basically, we don't care what kind of dog you own or what you do with it, but if it hurts someone, you face criminal liability.

Now that criminal liability could also be in the form of court-ordered fines, which could benefit the victims.

Who gets to decide what type of a dog is it? Cause its pretty easy to missclassify breeds?

Not to mention mutts.

If my dog attacks someone whether it's a kid that climbed my fence or on a walk, I'm a complete failure as a dog owner and my dog sucks. I have a Aussie Shepard and border collie mix and she wouldn't harm a fly regardless of what was going on. I have a 9 mm for intruders. She's a certified therapy dog.

Can we just start with enforcing pet owners to pick up their shite?

Well, my Aussie and Goldie would attack them and they'd be stricken with massive saliva damage. LOL.

But, that's not my point.

If you enter my space without permission, you bear some of the responsibility for that choice.

I shouldn't have to build a fortress to keep you out to keep YOU safe.

GFY

You can google "black lab mauls" and find out for yourself that these are all animals that are capable of killing.

You could put down millions of dogs in the breeds you listed and people would still be attacked.

Please do google what I asked. Can't wait to see how you spin it when you realize even "family friendly" dogs can attack

I would never disagree that some breeds inflict far more damage than others.

Today, this breed is the equivalent to the German Shepherd, Rottweiler and Doberman Pinscher of the 70s, 80s and 90s.

Many times, the result of an attack can be traced back to its owner, how the dog was raised, disciplined, rewarded and whether or not the dog received enough daily exercise.
