What Kind of Dog Has Bitten You?

     I was bitten by my ex-boyfriend's Parson Russell Terrier who had a history of biting and rarely gave much warning.

     I was also bitten by my own Nikki, though it was 100% due to my idiocy and therefore my fault.  I was being a brat and she had a bone and it was in the middle of a move and we'd just got a new puppy...her stress level was through the roof and she just snapped, though she followed it up with immediate and profuse apology.  She's a Golden Retriever/hound X.

    Family yellow labrador jumped up and bit me on the ear just as I was about to set his food bowl down.  I think I was about 12.

    looks like Chi's and GSDs are in a tie for "most dangerous dog breed". I've always thought a pack of Chi's or JRTs would be the ultimate guard dog, much scarier than any pitty or rottie. I'd run away.

      Can you imagine if the designer pet people started promoting a Giant Chi? That would probably take the PitBull out of first place as any decent drug dealer would prefer a 90lb Chi to a PitBull!!!!

     

     Just kidding..... probably should'nt even suggest it as there may be someone go out and try to do it...Wink

    Slightly OT.

    When I was 5, Grandma and I were walking and a GSD came out in it's front yard and toward me and I freaked. The owner called the dog to halt and she did. Then, he let me pet her. After that, I thought GSDs were cool.

    When I was 10, I was chased by a neighbor's Doberman but I outran him, losing a sandal in the process.

    The only dog bite I have received is from Shadow, a Siberian Husky/ Lab mix. And yes, it was my fault. I had him sedated in order to clip his nails. I got the quick in a few places and the vet told me I could use a direct pressure bandage. I used gauze and medical tape. After he started waking up and walked around a bit, he was drinking some water and I saw the bandage coming loose on his left paw. I didn't want him chewing on that. So I reached around his left side with my right hand to try and remove it and he got me good. Stress fracture of the main knuckle of my index finger and a puncture wound on the palm side of that knuckle. I called the vet again to make sure that we didn't have a rabies problem. Self-treated with iodine, hot water, and a direct pressure bandage. That knuckle ached for a good 4 weeks, which is how I know it was broken. But it was not broken bad enough to require reduction and pins, so no doctor visit. I learned my lesson. He was not fully aware, possibly sore, and thirsty. I should have left well enough alone.
