Personal Injury Attorneys - Dog Bite
Injuries in Tennessee
Below, our personal injury attorneys in
Tennessee
have gathered information on aggressive breeds of dogs for your benefit.
Aggressive Dog Breeds
Any dog, regardless of breed, can and will bite someone given the
right circumstances such as mistreatment, the behavior of the dog bite
victim, or the perceived threat a victim poses to the dog or the dog's
family. There is, however, no question that certain breeds of dogs have
a predisposition towards aggressive behavior. While you may never know
when or why a dog becomes aggressive, you should always keep a watchful
eye on the following breeds:
-
Pit Bulls
-
Rottweilers
-
German Shepherds
-
Huskies
-
Doberman Pinchers
-
Chows
Studies have shown that the increased number of large dogs in
America has resulted in an increased severity of dog bite injuries. 44 percent of all reported dog bite cases
involved German Shepherds yet the breed accounted for only 22 percent of
license registrations. Less than 20 percent of dog bites involved small
purebred dogs, but those breeds accounted for more than 40 percent of
registrations. The pit bull has historically been a major offender of
dog bite injuries to children. These dogs can be unstable, with 94
percent of pit bull attacks reported as unprovoked.
