The majority of times I've been bitten by dogs, which isn't much and never major but I did work at a boarding kennel with 200 dog capacity, it was by labradors. People get them thinking they come great automatically with no work and there's so many labs that of course by design the most populated breed has the most bites.

There's a lot of dogs with a tendency to be pretty bombproof when brought up right. I personally like the cocker spaniel even though they went through problems back in the early 90's when they were overbred. I've never owned one that I wouldn't trust with kids.
