Yes, even in the news reports I have seen recently, regardless of the breed, if the information was available, overwhelmingly it has been an intact male dog and/or a mating pair of dogs. It seems there is a connection between either the sexual status or the social issues surrounding dogs running loose and intact. Either way, intact male dogs no matter the breed seem to be statistically much more dangerous than any other combination of factors. That information is always helpful when writing new laws or enforcing current ones.
She wanted it.
17 years of facial assaults such as your pictures demonstrate.
I am heart broken by what happened to this young child.
It is not the breed.
Some people are just too stupid to own animals.
I know someone who has several that he raised to be loving, docile pets. 3 of them were sweet and loving, but one of them is just a "bad seed." No matter how kindly she was treated, well fed, etc., she was just very aggressive and had to be kept separate from the others. She has gotten free and attacked the other dogs more than once and bit her owner when he pulled her off one of the other dogs. I don't know if he still has her or had her euthanized.
I would have had her put down.
His other PBs were actually very sweet.
That said, I would NEVER have one. I'm a lab lover myself.
Bump for a Classic post!!
