re: You wouldn’t believe what the most dangerous breed of dog was

I've been bit by 2 dogs in my life and both were chows.
No vicious attacks just singular bites
frick a chow
I have a Anatolian sheppard who could easily do some damage if he wasn't a big pudding.

no labradoodle?

list is shite...

Is this more of an indictment on the breed or the people who own pit bulls and how they raise them?

It seems you have to actively train the aggressive tendencies out of them while you have to actively train a golden retriever to be aggressive. The difference is that no matter how much an owner thinks it’s “always the owner never the breed”, if that pitbull snaps, there’s nothing short of a firearm stopping it. And it does facial reconstruction surgery damage within seconds and doesn’t stop. There’s videos of a pitbull getting legitimately shot and continuing to wag its tail while mauling.

A friend of mine used to deliver for the UPS. He was bitten by a poodle several times.

Not taking up for pits but almost everyone I have seen to own one is a hoodrat or trailer trash. That has to skew the numbers a bit.

If you only knew. There’s a local vet who is an amazing vet medical-wise here in town. But he’s the vet that all these ghetto folks bring their compact bully breeds (mini American Bullies, English Bulldogs, Frenchies, etc.) to AI and do c-sections. The waiting room is literally to capacity daily all day with these folks, it’s disgusting. It’s how they make their living bc they aren’t at work! And they drive beaters and stink up the place with the smell of weed. We don’t need more dogs being bred. Now, imagine if these people are doing this, what the underworld is going to breed fighting machines. And then sell to whomever. It’s disgusting. Never would I leave a child alone with a dog. Especially one with prey drive, or “terrier” in the mix. I’ve also seen a sight hound go after a baby learning to crawl. Thought the baby was a rabbit, most likely.

I've never came across a nice chow

Those are on the short list.

I in know a Dalmatian that was dangerous because the owner was trashy. But does that make Dalmatians a trashy breed now?

Dalmatians are notoriously mean as frick. This isn’t the point you were trying to make.

Mauling people!

I've owned GPs and Anatolian shepherds. We currently have one GP female 3yo who is curled up at my feet as I type this.

All three of our GP's were excellent pets, and the Anatolian was the best dog I have ever owned. They all have loved us fiercely and would not have hesitated for a millisecond to go to war to protect us. I would trust my grandkids around the LGD's more than I would trust them around most people.

LGD's can be pets, but you have owners that understand the breed's idiosyncrasies. They are unlike any other breed we've owned (English Mastiff, Lab, GSD)

I have a hard time believing that GP's are anywhere on this list, they are the most patient breed and never attack unprovoked; however, when they do go off...its FAFO time for the recipient.
