Well I can answer that question. According to the AKC, it's the Labrador Retriever.Quote:

For question #2, I don't know! Sorry!
Well I do know that the #1 breed in America for 2000 (2001 stats aren't in yet) is the Labrador Retriever according to AKC (as ShepherdLover said)
I'm not sure the answer to #2 but I think it might be the American Pit Bull Terrier (sorry to say :( ) or the Collie. :confused:
#2 Could it be the highly unexpected Golden Retriever? However, I have never met one that bit!

Well, that's easy for me! #1: definetely the Labrador Retriever! #2: Sorry, but it's eathier the American Pit Bull Terrier, the German Shepherd, or the Collie. Good idea! :)
I know the most frequent biter ISN'T the Pitbull - in fact I don't think it's even in the top three, :) it just gets all the bad publicity. It might be the Collie - keep in mind they were bred to herd sheep, and sometimes have to nip them to keep the flock in line ... :eek:
I actually think the Labrador Retriever is the answer to both questions, believe it or not, with Golden Retrievers probably being second.
Remember, these are the reported bites.
1.What is the most popular breed in America?
The answer you are looking for is the Labrador Retriever. According to American Kennel Club registration statistics (for year 2000) there was at least double the amount of Labs than the second one on the list, Golden Retrievers. But, truly the most popular dog in America is the mixed breed, mutt, whatever you want to call it.
2.Which breed has bitin the most people in the year 2000?
I know last year some organization (don't remember which) came out with Rottweilers as the top biters.
But, you have to take into affect all the bites that are not listed with officials. Which might rack up some more points for the small dogs, because when they bite, it doesn't hurt as much as when big dogs bite.
Also, if you're going to count every bite, does that include when a police dog bites?
So what is the correct answer?????
I am guessing that the German Shepard is the most popular dog
I am also guessing the Rottweiler probably bites the most. ( No offense Rottie I know Carl is a sweetheart, and we all love him and he wouldn't bite unless provoked to) :)
Don't know about the most popular dog, but I think that Dalmations are one of the top dogs to bite.
I also agree witn Dixie Bell!!! Since the Disney movie, 101 Dalmations, everyone went out and got a Dalmation, but then, later, got rid of it, because they're just too much, and turned out to be a mean dog! And Logan, how could you say that?! Labs and Golden Retrievers are the most popular dogs! And, everyone, ANY dog can bite, and it's not the breeds fault if a dog bites!
Oh, I know, I wouldn't suspect the Lab or Golden Retriever normally either, but I read recently that in fact, they are the "biting" culprits! I'm just waiting for confirmation....hoping I'm wrong. Mine would never bite anyone!!!!
Logan
The part about Dalmatians being mean is absolutely not true. Many people did not know what high-energy dogs they are, and that like any energetic dog, they can be destructive if bored, but no one ever said they were mean! High-maintenance, maybe, mean - no, not unless they were mistreated, which is true of most dogs.Quote:

The Golden retreiver is the most popular breed in aamerica in the year 2000
And the dog recoured to bit the most
is the Golden retrever
Sorry if I spel it wrong ehre is a new question.
What dog does not bark?
Which does has a blue tounge?
I will post the answer in 3 days again injoy!
I think the barkless dog is the Basenji and Chow Chows have blue tongues.
[ July 01, 2001: Message edited by: Sudilar ]
Sue's right.
Yep, Sue's right. My sister-in-law has a basenji and a friend from work has a chow. Basenjis sort of yodel instead of bark and the chows definitely have blue tongues.
Ooops! :o I was trying to make Golden Retrievers second in both of your original catagories. Of course, I am biased towards the popularity thing...since I am such a Golden Retriever fan, but I knew that the Goldens and Labs also get the bad rap for biting as well. Honey probably has the capacity to bite, as she is so nervous, but she hasn't, and I make sure she is never in a situation to be tempted to! And Lilly could only be accused of licking someone to death!!! :D
I think Sue is right on with your next set of questions....I didn't know about the barking thing, but the Chow Chows definitely have the blue tongue.
Obviously, Chow Chows have blue tongues. But, I have a friend who has had full bred German Shephards and she says that can have blue on their tongue as well. By the way, I would have guessed the Chow to bite the most since it was bred to be a fighting dog and never a Golden Retriever. My dog is part Chow and mostly Border Collie and never bites anyone, but she can static jump 4 feet into the air!! She has a spotted toungue and gums -- she looks like she got into the licorice jar. Yea Jessie :D

I know! It's a Newfoundland, right? Sometimes the black and white ones are called Landseers, too.
Chows are not only the only blue tongued dog, Sharpa's also have blue-black tongue.
Landseers are beautiful! Yes, I think it is the Newfoundland for the first breed.
Sue
Breed #1 I believe is a Newfoundland.
Breed #2 I believe is a Bloodhound.
I agree with ShepherdLover
Breed 2 is definitely a Bloodhound! I know my hounds :)
The firt breed is in fact teh wonderfull Newfoundland
The second breed is the adorable Blood hound.
Here are some new breeds of dogs,
Description
Capable of reaching almost 40 mph, this race dog requires plenty of space to run. Tranquil inside the home and gentle with children and other dogs. Should not be unrestrained near traffic as this keen-sighted dog will take off after small animals. A clean breed that requires nail trimming.

[ July 12, 2001: Message edited by: RachelJ ]
I think Rachel is right on the greyhound.
I think the second breed is the Dandie Dinmont. :) :)

1. the Labrador Retriever- which I hate because there are more dogs that are just as affectionate, possibly more but, no EVERYONE has to have one and diss my dog because she 'isn't suppose to be good with kids' but she is great with them!
2. I would say the Corgi (both breeds) because they are bred to herd and I read somewhere that they nip people just to herd them, even in their own house.
The cocker spaniel is a wonderfulll breed but you don't need to go diss the Lab they both are wonderfull dogs. They make good house pets.There is no reson to go dissin the Lab just cause you think the cocker spaniel is better. You can't judge a dog on what the majority of the breed is like but what that certain dog is like. I know a cocker spniel who is mean as anything then I know a nother cocker spaniel who is the sweetiest thing in the world. So pelase don't go saying stuff about another breed because people chooose that breed over the breed of dog you have. I'm not trying to be mean saying this I just don't think that it was right of you to say that about the lab its good the breed is popular. Thanx
