  • The Role of Breed in Dog Bite Risk and Prevention (May 15, 2014)
    Literature Review on the Welfare Implications of The Role of Breed in Dog Bite Risk and Prevention (May 15, 2014) BREEDS IMPLICATED IN SERIOUS BITE INJURIES In a range of studies, the breeds found to be highly represented in biting incidents were German Shepherd Dog,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,50 mixed breed,1,4,6,8,10,11,12, 19,17, 20,50 pit bull type,5,9,13,16, 21,20,22,23,24,25,26,27 Rottweiler,15, 18,22,24, 25, 28 Jack Russell Terrier,21,25,26 and others (Chow Chow,7,23 Spaniel,14,26 Collie,3,29 Saint Bernard,20 and Labrador Retriever2 ). If you consider only the much smaller number of cases that resulted in very severe injuries or fatalities,21,23 pit bull-type dogs are more frequently identified. However this may relate to the popularity of the breed in the victim’s community, reporting biases and the dog’s treatment by its owner (e.g., use as fighting dogs21). It is worth noting that fatal dog attacks in some areas of Canada are attributed mainly to sled dogs and Siberian Huskies,56 presumably due to the regional prevalence of these breeds. See Table 1 for a summary of breed data related to bite injuries. CONTROLLED STUDIES The prevalence of particular dog breeds can also change rapidly over time, often influenced by distinct peaks of popularity for specific breeds. It seems that increased popularity is sometimes followed by increases in bite reports in some large breeds.

Pet Loss There’s a great deal of confusion associated with the label “pit bull.” This isn’t surprising Pet Care Videos because the term doesn’t describe a single breed of dog. Depending on whom you ask, it can refer to just a couple of breeds or to as many as five—and all mixes of these breeds. Kids and Pets The most narrow and perhaps most accurate definition of the term “pit bull” refers to just two breeds: the American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) and the American Staffordshire Terrier Free and Low-Cost (AmStaff). Some people include the Bull Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and the What type of pet do you own?

  • Myth: Pit Bull Terriers Have Locking Jaws. Myth: Pit Bulls
    Myth: Pit Bull Terriers have Locking Jaws. Fact: From Dr. I Lehr Brisbin of the University of Georgia: The few studies which have been conducted of the structure of the skulls, mandibles and teeth of pit bulls show that, in proportion to their size, their jaw structure is no different than that of any breed of dog. There is absolutely no evidence for the existence of any kind of "locking mechanism" unique to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier. Myth: Pit Bulls attack without warning. Fact: A well-bred dog of any breed will not attack without warning. Just like with any breed dog the Pit Bull will show signs before attacking. (i.g. barking, the hair of the scruff will stand.) In 99.9% of the cases a well-bred Pit Bull will not be human aggressive (HA). When these dogs were first being bred the dog men of the past did not accept HA as an acceptable trait in the APBT breed. Now dog aggression (DA) and animal aggression (AA) is another story. These dogs were bred to fight for many years. Responsible owners should to keep their Pit Bulls away from strange dogs or other animals. A dog can only fail if the owner sets it up to do so. This is not stating that every dog will have a game drive. I personally have three Pit Bulls that all live together while supervised of course. Myth: Treadmills are only used to get dogs ready for a fight. Fact: There are responsible owners of many breeds who utilize treadmills to exercise their dogs.
