Your advice is dangerous. The study that I posted (and you continue to ignore) includes a Border Collie. True safety advocacy involves effective solutions such as the ones suggested in that study.
According to a Canadian study of deaths by dogs (Jan.1983-Feb.2015) in Canada (with bsl), the offenders guilty of killing are Husky 28%, Unknown Mix (northern dogs) 19%, German Shepherd 13%, Rottweiler 11%, Sled Dog 8%, AmStaff 3%, Bull mastiff 3%, Chow Chow 3%, Labrador 3%, Malamute 3%, Maremma Sheepdog 3%, Collie 1%, Jack Russell 1%, Wolf 1%, Border Collie 1%.
The conclusions from the details in this study are: secure enclosure for all dogs loose in their yards would have prevented 27 incidents (73%).
Supervising young children (too young to be on their own), without knowing there was going to be a dog involved, would have prevented 21 incidents (57%).
Supervising a known interaction between a child and a dog would have prevented 12 incidents (33%).
Supervising a known interaction between a child and a dog would have prevented 12 incidents (33%).
Having secure enclosure for all dogs and supervising all children would have prevented 34 incidents (92%).
Circumstance is the key. These things are what caused the deaths of the children in particular, not what type of dog was involved. 1) Children not supervised. 2) Dogs running loose or breaking loose. 3) Dogs chained in areas where wandering children could enter. 4) Dog/child interactions not supervised.
1) Children not supervised. 4) Dog/child interactions not supervised.
In this tragic incident#1 and #4 are clearly the case.
