This is interesting: "Female dog bites are twice as numerous as male dog bites"
I thought female dogs are supposed to be more submissive, less likely to bite? When I think about it, the only dog I owned that actually bit someone was a male. Most of the dogs I've own, (about13 dogs over the years) have been gentle females. On the other hand, I've known lots of gentle males, and many feisty females.
Interesting fact. Thanks. -
