"Labs lead in dog bites in Omaha"
"In a news story that ran last week, NHS is reporting that type of dog that led in dog bites in the city was.....Labrador Retrievers. Labs recorded 79 bites whereas the next highest number ws from German Shepherds at 44 with 42 from 'pit bulls' and 33 from Chihuahuas. The story of course notes that the large number of Lab bites are because Labs are very popular."
There is lots more where this came from (google).
It saddens me how little people here really understand dogs. There was one post here awhile back in which people insisted that dogs loved being hugged.
All dogs bite. And most bite a child and because of how the child is treating them, in a home, with or without parental supervision. That's why most rescues, none that I know of, will place a dog of any age or breed, in a home with a young child.
I am beginning to better understand why my friends who are professional animal behavioralists want to scream in frustration at times.
Just to add to your incredible stupidity of making assumptions from microscopic input, my manager last week commented how much he enjoyed my upbeat and outgoing personality at work.
When I began here at FR personal attacks were rare and people actually discussed the issue. It also saddens me now how this place has in many ways developed a kind of lynch mob attitude. Try to stay on track with the discussion and not lower yourself into personal comments about someone you don't even know.
I work with doctors and often socialize with them so I hope you were not trying to impress me.
go away....I doubt labs led in “per capita” bites.......and I doubt seriously that many, if any, had to do with children playing with them.
I’m with Sarah. You’re with stupid.....
SO PROFESSOR.....how often do SERICE DOG labs bite THEIR SPECIFIC CLIENT??????
