Breeds of Dogs That Bite
Arizona dog attack lawyers and dog experts will tell you that there is no specific breed of dog that is more dangerous than another. Nor is there a specific group of canines considered "breeds of dogs that bite." Any dog from any breed can have a history of aggression. If you know that a dog has a history of aggression, you should avoid it and bringing it into your home.
While there are no specific breeds of dogs that bite in Phoenix, there are statistics that support the idea that some breeds and types of dogs are more aggressive than others are. American Humane says that an estimated 4.7 million dog bites occur annually. About 92 percent involve male dogs, 94 percent of which were not neutered.
While some dogs have acquired a bad reputation for being among breeds of dogs that bite, such as boxers, pit bulls, Rottweilers or bull mastiffs, some studies have illustrated statistics indicating smaller dog breeds, such as dachshunds, Chihuahuas and Jack Russell terriers, have a greater tendency to bite family members.
No matter what the breed, if you have suffered a dog attack and are seeking Arizona dog attack lawyers, you cannot waste any time. After a dog attack, report the incident to your local animal control agency or Sheriff's Department immediately. You will need to provide information to the authorities including the owner's address, name and other information about the dog. If it was a stray, you will need to describe the location of the incident as well as what the dog looked like.
