My point is.. you just never know when the old instincts will come out in some
breeds..
Hell, cockers are the worst around - my brother (the vet) says that there are
more cocker bites than any other breed - per capita. the difference is they are
smaller and don't tear and maim and bite to kill.
Bites are one thing, attacks are another. Who needs these breeds bred to attack
and kill? There will always be that story of that fabulous PB, Fila etc.. but
over all, it is their propensity to unpredictability that is the problem.
JMO...
BTW, when we owned our boarding kennel/grooming shop in Alberta, the worst dogs
were the lhasas, chows and cockers that came in - but it was a lab that put my
daughter in the hospital on IV antibiotics.. of course, we didn't groom or
board any of these breeds (PB etc)

I understand what you are saying Sue. BUT there are reputable breeders out
there that are breeding away from the lines that were bred to maim and kill. It
can happen. Just as a GSD breeder can breed a dog that has no interest in
herding to another that has no interest to herding, and they get pups ( not
all, but some pups ) will also have no real interest in herding.
That dog that bit you while at a friend's house had some wires loose. It
happened to me also. I was walking through a friends house, went over to the
sundeck to admire the view and got nailed on my thigh. Just bruised the skin.
I never ever put it down to "well that's that breed and what they do" though.
It could just have easily been a Cocker and got my calf, or a GSD and got my
hip. I've been bitten by a Lab! No reason for it that I could see, but it
happened...wires crossed? I dunno. I also personally know a lady that had her
Lab for 6 years and it snapped one day and chewed 1/4 of her face. Bottom line
for me, is it is not always a breed "thing". It's wonky wiring or me not paying
attention to the signals.

HOWEVER...
There are breeds of dogs that naturally attract the "bad guys" simply by the
very nature of the
breed and the ease by which it can be turned into a "weapon" - it's just not
enough to say "Bred properly, put into the right owners hands, this breed is
just as wonderful..."because there are no assurances that this would happen
even in the majority of the time. Also, these breeds have as much instinct
in them to "maim" as ours do to herd.. we can keep it under wraps, but you
just never know what and when that "instinct" will be turned on..I have also
had that lovely pet chow on a grooming table turn into a snaring, biting
thing.. not nice to witness and
too much of a risk to human life and limb, in my view..
