So by your "of course" statment, you are saying a German Shepard and a Chow are "small" dogs? Considering they're #1 and 2 on the list?

Not to mention, a Pit Bull Terrior, is just that; a Terrior, and is actually a relatively small dog, so once again, by your own "of course" line of thinking, the Pit OUGHT to be higher on the list, but alas, is not.

It appears the results do not justify your conclusions. And THAT is relevant to the discussion.

Disclaimer:

I just had one of my dogs killed last Thursday morning, May 3rd, by a Pit. I do not blame the dog. I blame the owners (my inlaws) who thought it would be a good idea to put our pugs in an enclosed dog run with a dog that doesn't get along well with others, and then leave the house for an hour. So don't even try to get on your high horse with me about how it's all the dog's fault.

In almost EVERY situation, it's the OWNER'S fault for doing something stupid that allows a dog (any dog, for that matter) to be in a situation where they may bite another. Whether that's allowing a dog to roam freely, leaving a dog to be an "outside" dog with no interactions, essentially creating a wild animal, or in Vick-like cases where there's actual dog fighting training camp, it STILL falls back on the dumbass owner's shoulders.

In my case, the other dog could have been anything higher on the food chain than my pug, and the result would have been the same.
