Quote - in the states, at least, labrador retrievers are implicated in the most attacks against children,

oh. maybe  a simple effect of  the pure quantity? unfortunately the labrador retriever is en vogue since the last years and that's why you can find it everywhere. unwarrantable breeders bring them on the market as an  "mass-product".  no wonder, that they degenerates into crazy dogs.
in germany,  it is the german sheperd, that is the numer one in the biting-charts.
