Very Polite Garry. Raw nerve eh. So how can you slag off other breeds just because they make you nervous, plenty of people feel that way about Bull Terriers (just wanted to point out I don't), or even any dog.

I am sure the breed are as likely to have been involved as any other breed especially a powerful one capable of crunching up hedgehogs.

Sadly most of the statistics are American (there your breed is not as prevalent as other bull breeds) and Australian, it seems breed stats for these incidents are not kept in the UK.

If you really need me to I am sure such statistics can be found.

Are you afraid of chows? They seem to have one of the worst percentage of the breed bite statistics of any breed in the USA.

HERE YA GO GARRY - GET RID OF YOUR DOG MATE - ITS A KILLER

A spokeswoman for the RSPCA described the event as a "tragedy" but added: "The English bull terrier is not intrinsically a dangerous dog. It is not named under the dangerous dogs act. What we do not want is knee-jerk legislation with serious flaws like the current act. We want to look at what happened and see what lessons can be learned

And i think that should count for all dogs .

Playground attack by an English Bull Terrier

It is NOT about Breed.

Deed NOT Breed.

So Garry on your assumptions your breed bit a child, has attacked dogs,are all Bull Terriers the same,with your reasoning it appears so.Lets add them to the DDA then,Would this solve the problem?
Of course not.

Far more children die in car accidents,I wonder what colour car has the most fatalities,should we ban that colour car,sound stupid - get the gist of it.

Just so if dog lovers and owners can't understand that it isn't breed, but bad breeding and irresponsible ignorant ownership that leads to tragedies, then what chance have any of our breed got against the anti dog lobby, who would prefer to see dogs extinct, or reduced to lapdogs only.

they already did that with the fear tactics and exaggerations over toxacara which we are still living through.

Try and rent a hall or field for training.

JUST HEAR ME OUT! We are not talking about one isolated incident are we !We are talking about a patten from one breed ! ONE WOULD SUSPECT YOU COULD FIND AT LEAST ONE FATALETY IN EVERY BREED ! BUT LETS HAVE IT FAIR WE ARE NOT TALKING ONE UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LOTS OF THEM AND JUST FROM ONE BREED!
I AM SORRY IF I HAVE COME ACROSS LIKE A RICHARD BUT ONE INCIDENT IS DIFFERENT THEN TEN ! DONT YOU THINK!
