This look like a correlation study between risk taking and dog ownership. I strongly doubt it will pass any form of replication, especially if done cross culture. It should be added that many of the high-risk association with dog breeds is also an association with breeds of working dogs, hunting dogs, and with size. The more difficult the breed is, the more work is required for training and socialization, and thus the risk is higher if the owner is inexperienced or lack time and effort. The physically larger breeds also require better training since a human can't just use brutal force to get their will through. Since the article brings up assessing risk for child endangerment, I wonder how horse ownership correlates with good parenting.
