A dangerous dog is created by
the human breeding it and the human owning it.
Breeding dogs with poor
temperaments creates the predisposition for issues. Note, many breeds are
supposed to be wary of strangers - it is part of what makes that breed
different from all others. A Maremma with the temperament of a Golden
Retriever is incorrect. Maremmas are live stock guarding breeds. If they
are everybody’s buddy then they cannot do their job. Just as a Labrador
Retriever with the temperament of an Akita is incorrect. So, good
breeders know the correct temperament for the breed and breed for it.
Next comes how the dog is
placed. A good breeder or rescue should know the ideal home for the dogs
it breeds and will make it tough for the average person to get a dog.
Lots of questions, maybe a home check, references called, why? Well, they
do NOT want their dogs becoming a problem. A good breeder wants a home
prepared for the dog and one who will do all possible to keep the dog from
becoming an issue. Sadly, there are too many potential dog owners who seek
out the bad breeders out of ignorance.
Now comes the owner’s part.
- Is the owner knowledgeable of the breed?
- Can the owner safely manage the breed?
- Is the owner acting as a responsible
owner? (Regardless of the breed - I have worked with many small dogs
that were risky animals thanks to the human end).
If the answer to any of
these is “No” then there is a greater risk of the dog becoming a biter.
 Animal Abuse Petition
A worthless coward beat his puppy to death because this
poor creature was starving and ate a loaf of bread. Not only did he beat
the pup, but he threw him in a pen or something with fighting dogs in it
and they tore the poor pup to shreads. This a-hole then buried the puppy
alive!. This guy got a $500 fine for doing this! He should pay more for
what he did!!!!. Please Help.....

As
the number of dog bite reports increase, we see more restrictive laws,
costlier insurance policies and educational campaigns. Since 1986, the
number of dog bites have steadily increased. At this time, every day, dogs
bite more than 900 people! State Farm Insurance paid out more than $80
million in dog claims in 1997. This had led to insurance restrictions that
sometimes target specific breeds.
The hit list typically includes Pit Bulls, Staffordshire Bull Terriers,
American Staffordshire Terriers, Rottweilers, Dobermans and German
Shepherds. These are the dogs commonly regarded as prone to aggression.
There are even advocates who want to ban these breeds from city limits and
insist the number of dog bites will drop dramatically.
The truth is breed specific laws discriminate against responsible dog
owners who properly train and socialize their dogs. Everyone knows that
any dog can bite if provoked, and I have personal knowledge that makes me
more wary of nippy Chihuahuas and Jack Russell Terriers than a Rottweiler.
So vicious breed laws are not going to stoop dog bites. What these laws
will do is incite fear, kill thousands of healthy, innocent dogs and
prevent proper veterinary care because owners won't want the authorities
to know what breed of dog they own if it has been banned in their
municipality.
 What should be done to help stop this wave of dog attacks?
In general though, dog owners nationwide are finding it more difficult to
obtain homeowner's or renter's insurance. Nationwide no longer provides
homeowner policies for owners of Pit Bulls, Dobermans and Rottweilers
because they have been identified as vicious dogs. Metropolitan Life, Auto
and Home does not automatically reject dog owners, but if you have a Pit
Bull, Doberman, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, Chow, Alaskan
Malamute or Dingo, you must provide letters from your veterinarian and dog
obedience school certificate to be considered for insurance coverage.
And State Farm is the fairest of them all, not discriminating against any
specific breed, but weighing every individual dogs' disposition and
history of biting in their decision to provide coverage. On the other hand
Ohio State Farm does not provide coverage for Pit Bull owners as many
cities have banned the breed.
The American Kennel Club works hard to update members on pending dog laws,
including breed specific or "dangerous dog" legislation. And the Humane
Society is working with insurance companies to both cut down insurance
costs and still protect responsible dog owners. If insurance companies
would ask dog specific questions (Where is the dog kept, has it had
obedience training, etc.) instead of lumping all dogs of one breed
together, it could save the insurance companies money and make sure at
risk owners are properly insured.
