#7 is actually true.
Daschounds are more likely to bite than any other breed. Guess why?
They were bred to go down in a hole and kill badgers.
The difference is that the bite from a wiener dog is NOT likely to KILL you.
Same story with our Chihuahuas.
We have a Chihuahua that strikes at me like a Viper if I surprise her when she is sleeping.
However, she weighs 4 pounds.
It is a natural instinct with the breed.
Same story with Dachshunds.
Same story with all dogs.
All Terriers were bred to kill vermin.
All hounds were bred to hunt.
Some breeds were specifically bred for protection like Doberman’s. They will literally put themselves between their human and any threat. My daughter breeds Doberman’s.
Pitbulls were bred to fight a male bovine in a ring and clamp on to its snout by biting it and not letting go. Then people started fighting the same breed against other dogs.
The ones that end up at the shelter are the inferior fighters.
However, they come from a lineage of fighting.
That is what they are bred to do.
Yes that’s the point I was trying to make. They are illogical in their love for their dogs.
Chihuahuas I think used to be #1 on bites. Yet I’m fairly certain no one had ever died from a bite (maybe infection after). Not only have I heard of many deaths by pits in the last 5 years I can probably think/find of one case a year where they killed then ATE their owner.
Yet a Pit owner, if they choose #7, will only admit the number of bites usually not severity.
