    What would convince you that any one breed of dog is more dangerous than others?

    Pretty much nothing since that isn’t how it works.

    There are some breeds that require more knowledge, experience, and time to handle properly. That includes the various breeds colloquially referred to as pitbulls, as well as German shephards, mastiffs, huskies, etc. I’d say most breeds with a job need knowledge and attention.

    But the “danger” part is an issue with the owner (or previous owner). The only foster dogs I’ve ever been concerned about have been abused, whether by ignoring them, not feeding them, physically abusing them, or otherwise.

    I can say I have a not insignificant amount of experience with quite a few breeds, and I can also say that blaming a breed is nonsensical.

    And the only dog in my home right now is a corgi.
