Breed information

Breeds

General breed research is kept separate from incident counts. BiteDB does not infer breed from appearance and does not treat raw counts as breed risk.

Live incident aggregation

Breed labels across BiteDB incident outcomes

These charts are generated directly from the current BiteDB incident dataset. Each incident is counted once, even when multiple news stories or official sources cover the same event. Breed labels remain source-attributed and should not be read as breed-risk estimates.

Classification: Fatalities use BiteDB’s fatal flag. Serious injuries include nonfatal records whose sourced severity describes serious, severe, critical, major, hospitalized, airlifted, surgical, trauma-center, life-threatening, fracture, permanent-scarring, tourniquet or similarly substantial treatment/injury. The third chart contains the remaining notable records, including unknown severity, minor/moderate injuries and attempted-bite/public-safety incidents. “Unknown / not reported” means the source record does not support a breed identification. For chart aggregation, source labels such as “pit bull,” “pit bull terrier,” “pit bull-type,” and generic “pit bull mix” are grouped under Pit bull / pit bull mix; the exact source wording remains preserved in each incident record. Explicit named crosses remain separate. American Bully remains its own breed category, but uses a related red-family chart color to reflect its documented historical relationship to the American Pit Bull Terrier without treating the two breeds as identical.

Important: AVMA policy says predictions about a dog’s propensity for aggressive behavior should not be based solely on breed. BiteDB therefore stores breed as a sourced attribution field and preserves uncertainty.

Browse incidents by reported breed group

Pit bull and pit bull mix reports are grouped together regardless of who reported the breed. Original wording and uncertainty remain with each incident. Mixed-dog records may include other breeds and do not establish which dog attacked.

Breed research profile

American Bulldog

A muscular, athletic working breed historically used as a farm utility dog. Breed standards describe strength, endurance and agility.

Size / standard context: NKC standard types list males roughly 23–27 in. and 75–125 lb., females roughly 21–26 in. and 60–105 lb., depending on type.

BiteDB methodology: Breed characteristics do not predict whether an individual dog will bite. BiteDB records breed only when a source states it and keeps source provenance attached.

Breed research profile

American Bully

A compact, heavily muscled companion breed described by registry standards as having a broad head and substantial build.

Size / standard context: BiteDB is not publishing a single universal size range yet because registries divide the breed into classes and standards vary.

BiteDB methodology: The presence of an American Bully label in a source is recorded as an attribution, not a BiteDB visual identification and not evidence of breed-wide risk.

Breed attribution profile

Pit bull / pit bull mix

BiteDB groups generic source labels such as “pit bull,” “pit bull terrier,” “pit bull-type,” and generic “pit bull mix” together for aggregate charts while preserving the exact wording in each incident record. BiteDB records “pit bull” when a reliable source uses that label; it is preserved as a sourced attribution rather than a visual identification by BiteDB.

Current provenance example: Follow-up reporting by The Kansas City Star identified Bruce, the dog involved in the Feb. 18, 2026 fatal Independence, Missouri attack, as a pit bull.

BiteDB methodology: A reported breed label is not treated as evidence of breed-wide risk and is distinguished from DNA, veterinary, registration, or animal-control confirmation when those are available.

Breed research profile

Cane Corso

A large Italian working breed in the mastiff family. The AKC standard describes a sturdy, muscular dog historically used as a property watchdog and hunter.

Size / standard context: The AKC standard gives height ranges of 25–27.5 in. for males and 23.5–26 in. for females, with weight proportionate to height.

BiteDB methodology: Reports that say “Cane Corso mix” remain labeled as mixes; BiteDB does not convert a mixed-breed attribution into a confirmed purebred identification.

Breed research profile

Doberman Pinscher

A medium-large working breed developed as a guardian and companion. The standard describes a compact, muscular build and an energetic, watchful temperament.

Size / standard context: The AKC standard lists males at 26–28 in. and females at 24–26 in. at the withers.

BiteDB methodology: Doberman labels are shown only when a reviewed source attributes them to the dog involved; victim-reported labels retain that provenance.

Breed research profile

American Staffordshire Terrier

A muscular, medium-sized terrier recognized by the AKC. Report sources may use the full name, a mix label, or combine it with a broader pit-bull attribution.

Size / standard context: The AKC standard lists preferred heights of 18–19 in. for males and 17–18 in. for females.

BiteDB methodology: BiteDB preserves the exact label and does not automatically treat American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier and generic “pit bull” as interchangeable identities.

Breed research profile

Rottweiler

A robust working breed descended from cattle-driving and guarding dogs. Modern standards describe a powerful, compact dog suited to service, protection and companionship.

Size / standard context: The AKC standard lists males at 24–27 in. and females at 22–25 in. at the withers.

BiteDB methodology: Singular and plural Rottweiler labels are grouped for navigation while each incident retains its original source wording and attribution strength.

Breed research profile

German Shepherd Dog

A large, agile herding and working breed widely used in service roles. BiteDB reports include German Shepherd and German Shepherd mix attributions.

Size / standard context: The AKC standard lists males at 24–26 in. and females at 22–24 in. at the withers.

BiteDB methodology: Purebred and mix labels remain distinct, and law-enforcement or video-based descriptions are identified as such.

Breed research profile

Belgian Malinois

An alert, high-energy Belgian herding breed frequently selected for police, military and detection work. Some reports use the broader phrase “Belgian shepherd.”

Size / standard context: The AKC standard lists males at 24–26 in. and females at 22–24 in. at the withers.

BiteDB methodology: “Belgian shepherd” and “Belgian Malinois” are not silently merged; owner-reported and official attributions retain their stated provenance.

Breed research profile

Mastiff

A very large, heavy-boned working breed. BiteDB reports also contain “mastiff mix” and cross-breed descriptions, which are not equivalent to a confirmed purebred Mastiff.

Size / standard context: The AKC standard sets minimum heights of 30 in. for males and 27.5 in. for females, without specifying a maximum.

BiteDB methodology: English Mastiff, generic mastiff, mastiff mix and named crosses remain separately described wherever the source supports that distinction.
