We all know that more Labradors are more commonly owned, but without knowing the actual numbers it's impossible to determine a ratio. Of course I never insinuated that Labradors were more aggressive, merely a point of academic interest. Biohazard is the one that is claiming Dobermans are much more dangerous without posting any sources to back that claim up.

You can say that as many times as you want but it won't make it so.

How ironic that sounds coming from you. How could I have been naive enough to remove you from my ignore list.
Of course it was
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doberman_Pinscher
And what I really said was "The danger of attack by a Doberman is relatively high. They are known for stranger directed aggression. "
They are the only statistics on ownership. Therefore, that is representative even if only with a small sample.
You can take that as a rough estimate.
A poll if you like.
Put me back on then, no loss to me

Dont do anything stupid like getting aggresive witht the other dog owner. I as hard as it is just stay as calm as you possibly can. I would relate the incident more towards you when talking to police. Im guessing you are a woman-correct? If possible speak to a female police officer who may sympathise with you (esp as u r prgnant).
When talking to RSPCA relate the imcident to the dog.
I would also get the other dog owners to make an official complaint.
Start reading up on the law on dangerous dogs and take that to the police as they wont be able to ignore u then. Maybe at thjs point court action would be appropriate. Be careful not to say anything that could weaken your case ie. Being aggresive to the doberman owner.
Gkod luck.

Platinum87, i use my iphone to srf the forums quite often (which is why i make so many typos!) and most of the time i cant seewho posts what.
I being completely neutral when i say this.
That story was clearly exaggerated. It came off as severely exaggerated atention seeking BS. whilst you did make a point you ruined it by the end. Maybe you are posting this sort of stuff really often but i havent noticed yet. The fact you made that story up ina thread with such a sensitive issur is just too much.
The others gang up on u for a very good reason. You single handedly de railed a thread that was so sensitive. Thankfully this didnt get too out of hand because the majority of us rose above the horrid level you are slumming it out at ATM.
If this is the sort of thing you normally do then i would recommend you really look over your past posts befire you turn into an attention whore.
As for the others maybe it would help him if you gave him a good reason for your criticisms so he can realise what a nob he is being ATM.
again, i am only taking the side of reason and saying this because tje attention whoring in this thread was just ridiculous from u platinum and you clearly dont realise ur mistakes.
OP, good luck

That is terrible I really feel for this situation.
Am guessing he ran out from the park after the attack?
I have to say to all dog owners: Do not assume that your park is a safe place to walk your dog. There are countless irresponsible dog owners out there who are reckless.
Read the signs and treat every new dog that comes along as a possible threat - It doesn't matter the breed.
If it was me in this situation and other dogs started to attack my Labrador I would have kicked them dogs so hard in the head that they would be cowering.

Look through my past posts if you don't believe I grasp the statistical concept. I know you're only trolling me though.
The page you link to has multiple statements that contradict that.

It's not representative of the general population because people who for example show their dogs, are certain to register, family pet owners who may buy different breeds of dogs, not so.
Representative would be a study that looks at dogs on veterinary databases. Because going to the vet is something that is necessary for all dog owners.
