Dog Bite Statistics by Breed - Shocking Information Many people are concerned with the prospect of dog bites. Although the ideal canine companion should be mild or even tempered, there are just instances when a dog can attack either after an unthinkable provocation or for other unknown reasons. Some dogs are trained to attack, but these dogs must be carefully handled and looked after at all times; otherwise, the law dictates that the dogs should be destroyed. As such, there are no established dog bite statistics by breed in the country, other than those privately gathered (and sadly, unverified) by independent sources.

Subject: Erroneous info
Unfortunately, the information provided here is inaccurate. The CDC study was done on deaths, not bites. So, the 82% noted above is the percentage of deaths caused by pit bulls. Since the number of deaths per year is only about 20 on average and the number of bites needing medical attention is closer to 800k, we are talking about an incredibly small percentage.
Unfortunately, there are no comprehensive studies on which breeds caused the most bites but it is generally known that small breeds like cocker spaniels, chihuahua's and dachschunds are the worst. Please get your facts straight.
