Dachshunds Are Statistically More Prone to Aggression
July 18th 2009 16:56
Not many people may have heard or are aware of this particular study, but I can nearly guarantee and I'd bet my job that if the test showed that Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Dobermans, or any other dog breed that has had problems in the past were the most aggressive of the breeds tested, then everyone would have heard about the test.
That's rather sad if you ask me, but what can you do. The government, PETA, and various other organizations are trying to prove that certain dog breeds are just more prone to aggression and biting than others. I think it's a load of crock, and so does the CDC. The CDC no longer feels that dog breed should be the focus of dog aggression and dog bite studies. There just isn't enough information and data that shows that the breed of the dog is gong to pre-determine what dogs may or may not attack a human or another animal.
Plus, there just isn't a dog bite epidemic that everyone wants us to think. Dogs are animals, and when they attack we can't forget that they ARE animals. Yes, they may be man's best friend, but you know what, that isn't going to prevent them from biting you or someone you know.
Dogs can be the most loving, loyal, and trustworthy animal that we have as pets, but that isn't going to prevent an accident with another dog or with a human. It is out duty to train and socialize our dogs. We must also make sure that we are as alert to the surroundings when our dogs are with us to potentially prevent harm to another being by noticing any signs of aggression before they lead to a bite (no matter how insignificant or extreme the bite may be).
