Maybe that's just reflective of whatever the "popular" strong breed is at the time. The more people own a breed, the more attacks there'll be. *Anecdote Alert* Seems to me that Dobermans were way more popular 20 years ago than they are now.

I'm sure Jack Russell Terrier bites are up 1000% over what they were 10 years ago, too. A punctured thumb isn't likely to make the news though.
