That’s 21 years of retriever and retriever mixes and fatal maulings by dogs I found remarkable to be included
I didn’t include Rotts which are second after pit bulls or GSD or any molasser breed in general since we’d exoect them to be listed given size etc
No question pit bulls can and do kill but if you go back to records before there were 5-25 million of them or more or dogs called pit bull types then their fatal bites numbers fall off to very few
If Rotts had the same number I fear they’d be higher to be honest and Rotts are my dog

Okay, lets look at that list, most are mixed breeds, appears most often with pit bulls or rottwielers. Often, too, in packs with. Remove them and this list is very short. Compare to deadly pitbull attacks almost weekly, this is nothing. Add rottwiler attacks with pitbulls and this is even more pronounced. A pitbull and rottwiler list over the same periods would be hundreds, maybe thousand-plus. Thanks for confirming the obvious.
This is why I am a cat person.
I go out running, and there is one area of the neighborhood with several dog owners. I worry that one of the barking, lunging dogs will pull its leash out of its owner’s hands, or that one will jump over the fence.
Thank you for listing 20 years of non pitbull dog attacks to get 30 deaths which is about equal what pits have done in the past 18 months. Once again your point is well thought out and reseached. B-Z!

Denial. Really stretching.
Oh my, your list shows a precious few, by some dogs almost all of whom are MUTTS, and/or part of a pack (which is very dangerous).
You proved nothing. What, 1 Lab-type mutt per year manages to kill someone?
Currently, the Lab is far and away the most popular dog. PBTs, despite all the do-gooder apologists, are combined still not actually that popular/populous. The % are FAR different.
Next, your Rotts, while 2nd in fatal attacks, are still far more popular than PBTs and have far fewer than PBTs in kills. Again, the % is far off. Rotts first shot to popularity - breaking into the top 10 after a meteoric rise - in the ‘80s.
German Shepherds (they are NOT “molassers”, BTW, not at all) have meanwhile been probably THE most popular breed world-wide for a century. They far outstrip PBTs in numbers as do their mutts. Yet, they account for barely any fatal attacks over the last few decades. Again, %.
