CDC's 10 Most Dangerous Dogs List

While national statistics show at least 30 breeds have attacked humans, 10 dog breeds are on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's most dangerous list, meaning they tend to bite the most frequently. They are:

Pit bulls
Rottweilers
German Shepherds
Huskies
Alaskan Malamutes
Doberman Pinschers
Chow Chows
Great Danes
St. Bernards
Akitas

The breeds considered most likely to kill are pit bulls and rottweilers, and the CDC says that a chained dog is more likely to bite than an unchained dog.

The CDC also says the majority of dog attacks happen at home or in a familiar place, which is why choosing the right dog for your family is crucial.

"There are approximately 4.5 million reported dog bites annually in the United States (nearly 2% of the American population). The majority of dog bites are never reported to local authorities."

YOU = OWNED
You're almost too stupid to argue with. Veterinarians, you know people who go to school for 4 years specifically about animals, will tell you time and time again that Pittbulls are not inherently dangerous. I'm sure you know best though, being as you have all that education and experience with dogs.

I'll try to educate you one more time on why those statistics are useless. First off, it's not Pittbulls but Pittbull and Pittbull like breeds at the top. That's right, it's a combination of breeds. Secondly, if you had the skills to actually do any research, you'd find out that the next most dangerous "breed" of dog is all mixed breeds put together.

Your own Statistics show that a poodle mixed with a sheltie is a more dangerous dog than a Rottweiler. See the flaw now, genius?
