Dogs are often seen as man’s best friend, yet not all breeds share the same temperament. Research indicates that certain breeds are perceived as more dangerous.
While any dog has the potential to bite and cause harm, some breeds are statistically more prone to aggression or violence. This tendency can often be linked to factors such as lack of obedience training, limited socialization during early stages, or inadequate interaction with their owners. Additionally, dogs that have not been spayed or neutered may display heightened aggression.
Furthermore, dogs might exhibit hostility when they are feeling unwell, frightened, or threatened. It is crucial to exercise caution around all dogs. However, recognizing breeds with predispositions toward aggression is essential to reducing the risk of dog attacks and injuries.
Some breeds are often cited in discussions about dangerous dogs, including:
Pit Bulls are often considered one of the most controversial and misunderstood dog breeds. They were originally bred for bull-baiting and later as farm dogs. With proper socialization, they can be loyal and affectionate pets. However, due to their strength and protective nature, they can be potentially dangerous if not trained and managed responsibly.
Rottweilers have a history as herding and guard dogs. They are strong, confident, and loyal. When properly trained and socialized from an early age, they can be excellent family pets. However, their natural guarding instincts can make them wary of strangers, and without proper guidance, they can exhibit aggressive behavior.
German Shepherds are intelligent, versatile dogs that were originally bred for herding sheep. They are often used in police and military work due to their trainability and loyalty. While they can be gentle and loving family dogs, they require consistent training and socialization to prevent aggressive tendencies, especially in unfamiliar situations.
Siberian Huskies were bred as sled dogs in cold climates. They are known for their endurance and energy. While they are generally friendly and gentle, their independent nature can make them challenging to train. Without proper mental and physical stimulation, they may exhibit destructive behavior, but aggression is not a common trait in well-socialized Huskies.
Alaskan Malamutes are large, strong dogs bred for heavy hauling and as sled dogs. They are affectionate and loyal to their families. However, their independent and stubborn nature can make training a challenge. Like Huskies, they require proper exercise and mental stimulation to prevent behavioral issues, but aggression is not a defining characteristic of the breed when raised in a loving environment.
Doberman Pinschers were originally bred as guard dogs in Germany. They are known for their loyalty and intelligence. Properly trained and socialized Dobermans can be excellent family pets, displaying affection and protectiveness towards their owners. However, their guarding instincts and strong will require consistent training and a firm, yet gentle, handler to prevent aggressive behavior, especially towards strangers.
Chow Chows are an ancient Chinese breed known for their distinctive lion-like mane and blue-black tongue. They were initially used for hunting and guarding. Chow Chows are independent and can be aloof with strangers. Early socialization is crucial to prevent aggressive tendencies, as they can become territorial and overprotective without proper training and exposure to different people and environments.
Boxers are medium-sized dogs that were originally bred in Germany as hunting and working dogs. They are playful, energetic, and loyal companions. Boxers are generally good-natured, but their exuberance and high energy levels can sometimes be misunderstood as aggression, especially if they are not properly trained and exercised. With early socialization and consistent training, they can be friendly and affectionate family pets.
Dalmatians are distinctive for their unique black or liver spotted coat. Originally bred as carriage dogs, they are energetic and playful. Dalmatians can be loving and loyal, but they require regular exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom, which can lead to behavioral issues. While they are not inherently aggressive, any dog that is not properly cared for and stimulated can develop undesirable behaviors.
Presa Canarios, also known as Canary Mastiffs, have a history as guard dogs and cattle herders in the Canary Islands. They are large and powerful dogs, known for their strong protective instincts. While they can be loyal and devoted to their families, early socialization and training are essential to manage their natural guarding tendencies. Without proper guidance, they can exhibit aggressive behavior, especially towards strangers, making responsible ownership and training crucial for this breed.
Dog’s behavior depends significantly on how it is raised, trained, and socialized. Responsible ownership and proper training can mitigate potential issues with any breed. Additionally, breed-specific legislation is controversial and often ineffective; many experts advocate for laws focused on responsible pet ownership and individual dog behavior assessments.

Mr Choyce was aggressive in fighting my case with filing motions on my behalf an trying to get my case dismissed, I was very pleased that he was not just looking to get the first deal the D.A. offered but was aggressively trying to win my case.

Mr Choyce also handled a second case for me, I was charged with driving on a suspended license and no registration. Once again Mr Choyce was aggressive with this case and took it to trail an was able to get a not guilty verdict, which saved me a great deal of money in fines that would be pending with a guilty verdict.

Have you suffered an injury or personal damage due to negligent maintenance of a physical space such as an apartment complex? You may have a case under Premises Liability law. Speak with a Sacramento accident attorney if you’ve been injured.
The owner or possessor of a property is required to maintain the premises such that an individual will not experience harm or damage during its use. This responsibility is even greater when considering children as they do not have the capacity to assess risk and act with appropriate caution.
In order to have a strong case against a defendant, the plaintiff must establish the following:
Who owns, possesses, and controls the property? This is the person or organization who is responsible for maintaining a reasonably safe space and thus may be at fault for injuries arising from the condition of the physical space.
**It is very important to establish who is in control of the property. Control of the property is the basis on which these cases are built as this is what enables the implementation of safeguards to prevent injury or damage. Without definitive evidence that an individual or organization is in control of the property, it is impossible to prove that they have a responsibility to maintain the premises to prevent damage or injury. A defendant does not need to be the owner or lessor of a property to be deemed liable – so long as he or she is the controller of that property, he or she is responsible for the reasonable maintenance of safety on the premises.**
The duty for a property owner to maintain a safe environment is not transferable to independent contractors! If you have questions regarding liability of your case, speak with a Sacramento accident attorney.
Negligence is the failure of the duty of the property owner to maintain the premises as to prevent exposing individuals to unreasonable risk of a known harm. If there is a concealed or not readily known danger on the property, it is the responsibility of the owner or possessor of the premises to either remedy the problem or inform individuals that the danger is present. The defendant is not required to warn individuals of harms that are readily or easily observed.
It must be determined that:
Premises Liability is often seen in slip and fall and trip and fall ‘ cases, but also relates to dog bite injury cases, construction injury cases, and injuries resulting from intentional or negligent action by a third party on the premises.
Not only does the controller of the property need to ensure the premises itself does not pose a danger, it must be ensured that no activities on the property pose a risk to individuals visiting said property.
The controller of the property must also take precautions to prevent damage or injury by third parties that may come onto the property, should this danger be reasonably anticipated. For example, certain safeguards should be provided in areas with higher crime or previous incidences of damage or injury. The foreseeability of this danger is very important to the case and is determined in court on a case-by-case basis. The court also must balance the foreseeability of a third party danger and the burden imposed on the controller of the property to prevent third party damage or injury. A Sacramento accident lawyer can explain the foreseeability of danger in your case specifically.
The court will take the following into consideration when hearing a case regarding premises law:
Before move-in:
During the lease:

People don’t usually notice the multitude of dangers they encounter on a daily basis. Between dangerous drivers on the road, slick floors in the grocery store, a broken step on the way into work, a neighbor’s unleashed dog, and a faulty product you ordered online, there are many hazards with the potential to cause harm. This may be part of the reason 32 million people were treated for injuries in an emergency room in the US in 2012, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. The nuances that go into personal injury cases are difficult to fully grasp and contacting a Folsom personal injury attorney is the best way to maximize your chances of receiving compensation.
It’s important to understand the laws that protect individuals and how to protect yourself after an incident that causes you personal harm. In order to have a strong personal injury claim in California, there must be physical, emotional, and/or financial injury to the victim inflicted by the defendant.
When an incident occurs, especially a car accident, there is often a police report describing the events. It is very important to get a copy of this to support your claim. In cases where there is no police report or the police report does not assign blame for an incident, it is common for one party to accept the fault at the scene and later changes their story. Insurance companies representing individuals who once admitted fault often have a difficult time accepting responsibility for the damages even though the individual now claims to be innocent.
California is a comparative fault state. This means that each individual involved in an incident may be found partially at fault. The degree to which each individual is at fault affects the degree to which they are compensated and the amount they are required to pay. For example, if two cars collide on the highway and one is found guilty of not yielding when merging but the other driver was texting during the collision, each individual may be a certain percent at fault. Determining the actual amount each party pays could get complicated so speak to a Folsom personal injury attorney regarding your case specifically.
There are many different types of accidents such as:
There are also a number of different types of injuries victims can suffer. Depending on the situation, many different injuries can be covered under personal injury claims. The following is a list of some of the more common injuries an individual may have when filing a personal injury claim:
There may also be non-physical injuries that are incurred and for which an individual may be reimbursed:
If you have suffered any of these types of injuries, it’s imperative you speak with a Folsom personal injury attorney immediately before time runs out in what’s known as statute of limitations.
In California, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years from the date the injury was incurred. This means an individual with the intention to sue another person or group for an injury must file a lawsuit and bring the case to court within two years from the time of the incident. If this is not accomplished, it is very likely that the case will be thrown out and no compensation may be retrieved.
When an individual means to bring a case against any form of government, such as a city or county of California state government, the statute of limitations is actually 6 months in these cases. This is not very much time to deal with all the entities involved and to make a strong case without professional help.
There are limitations to compensation under certain circumstances and it’s highly advisable to speak to a Sacramento personal injury attorney for specific limitations regarding your case.
One of the best things you can do to protect yourself from being taken advantage of is to get legal representation. A knowledgeable car accident lawyer in Sacramento at The Choyce Law Firm has years of legal experience handling personal injury claims with insurance companies. We understand the complex laws and procedures will fight on your behalf and can considerably help you get the compensation you deserve.
