The breed doesn't matter, it's the owners that influence the temperament of the animal. The nonsense statistic you ask for simply causes people to associate certain breeds with attacks when in reality it's the owners who do not keep their dogs restrained who need to be analyzed.
- schoolornot 5y agoI'll just leave this here for all the pit bull lovers: https://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities-2020.php https://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities-2020...
- etempleton 5y agoOne problem is pitbulls are not really a standardized breed so a lot of mixed breed terriers get mixed in here. Though this is an important metric. I don't think pitbulls are inherently more likely to bite, but I do think they cause a lot more damage when they do bite. Minor bites are unlikely to always be reported. Note that all of the dogs listed are big powerful jawed dogs.
- smt88 5y agoUSPS doesn't have a set schedule to come to your house, and they have to enter your (perhaps fenced) yard. It's very plausible that a responsible dog owner would have a dog out in the fenced yard when a postal worker came by, and then the breed is definitely going to be a factor.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoDogs have completely different personalities across breeds and yet you won't even entertain the possibility the breed has something to do with how aggressive a dog is?

- weird-eye-issue 5y agoThere is already data out there about this
- aaomidi 5y agoThis is why the data would help. Most people saying this have no proof of their claim.
