Reply #15: Our points aren't mutually exclusive [View All]

I was making the point that I'd be willing to bet that small dogs bite more often than big dogs do. Also, the bigger the dog, the more serious the bite will be.

Pit bulls are not by nature human-aggressive, they are more prone to be dog-aggressive. The breed got tarred and feathered by sorry excuses for people who trained them to be aggressive, to bolster their own macho-ness. It's very sad.

I have 2 pit bull mixes who are rescued, and they have never shown aggression towards humans. On the other hand, if a stray animal gets into the yard all bets are off.

Lastly, I've been bitten by 3 dogs in my life. One was a small terrier mix a friend had, and it snuck up under my chair *several* times, heh, and bit me on the back of my calf. Another was a dachshund who used the same technique, only it was creeping up in stealth mode under a pool table and bit the front of my calf. The third was a pomeranian who just flat out bit my arm (no sneak attack on that one.)
