Thread: Cases of dog attacks studied at Middlemore Hospital

Study of dog attacks through hospital records is not real accurate on the breeds that will bite, but is an indicator to breeds which cause the most harm... The majority of bites will not require hospital treatment other than those from breeds inflicting great harm, even with only a "nip".

and misidentification of dogs, it seems anything with a bit of muscle is pit/staffie if you ask people around here

Yeah. You are dead right. My dog is a Staffie /Lab cross and you couldn't have a nicer, more laid back dog. Staffies score 5/5 (5 being best) in the barkbusters book for family dogs. The number of people I see looking nervie because she is a little bit stocky astounds me.
