While any breed of dog may attack, statistically, some are more likely to exhibit violent behaviors than others. According to some sources, Molosser breeds such as Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Mastiffs, Boxers, and their mixes have caused 86 percent of recorded attacks that resulted in hospitalization. These breeds make up only 9.2 percent of the overall dog population. Many communities today are overturning breed-specific legislation that banned these dogs in cities and neighborhoods. Some veterinarians suggest the dogs are not the problem: their owners are and urge pet owners to dedicate the time to properly train and care for a canine.
