Curious how they did the math (but it wouldn’t mean anything to me, I am terribly math challenged).

I did the math. I just divided the attacks by the fraction of the population to get a risk factor for individuals of the breed. Rottweilers came out the winner, but PBs are seriously dangerous too. Stick with collies and retrievers if you don't want to get bitten.

I have a hard time believing PBT-types are more populous (.033) than Rottweilers (.003??? serious?) and spitz-types (.02). Even though it is a type covering many breeds and not just 1.

You might need adjustment to that. Of course, having PBTs and Presas up there in the list in not shocking, even if they don’t make #1.

Thanks but you’re not where I get my dog buying advice. :) If I were looking for another dog I would do my research but I would be looking at breeders, particular lines and how the puppies were raised. Not simply some statistics from the internet. Of course, I have not owned a dog that I didn’t breed myself in a lot years.
