German Shepherds
German Shepherds are not typically aggressive but they have ranked thirds in the breeds involved in dog bite related injuries. If any of dog related injuries occur the owner should be held responsible and an experienced lawyer can help.

PHOENIX, AZ, June 04, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- German Shepherds are often seen on the police force as members of the K-9 police unit or even guiding the blind around the Phoenix, Mesa, and Maricopa county areas. They are one of the most versatile dogs, as they are known for their affection, intelligence, large size, dependability, and hard-working traits. For their admirable traits, German shepherd's are seen as one of the breeds that truly incorporate the phrase, "Man's Best Friend."

But even the kindest and well-behaved breed of dogs is susceptible to committing dog attacks and dog bite related injuries. According the American Humane Society there is no such thing as a "safe breed." Even if the dog's roles in the community (guiding the blind and working on the police force) are commendable, they can still viciously and brutally attack a person.

According to the book, Fatal Dog Attacks, German Shepherds ranked 3rd in the breeds involved in dog bite related injuries and attacks. German Shepherds were surprisingly among dog breeds that are naturally known for their brutal and aggressive nature: behind Pit bulls and Rottweilers, BUT in front Wolf Dogs and Siberian Huskies.

Fact about Breeds:
• Just like cross breed dogs, Pedigree dogs will bite and attack too.
• The age, sex, and size of any breed of dog does not make it more or less likely to attack.
• There is currently specific legislation that prohibits people from owning certain dog breeds but that does not mean people do not own them.

Dog owners are legally responsible for the actions of their dogs, even with the non-typical aggressive breed of dogs like German Shepherds. If someone else's dog has injured you or someone you love, the owner is liable for your damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If a dog in Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa or elsewhere in Maricopa County has bitten you, you should contact an experienced Arizona dog bite attorney to represent you.

What to do if you suffer a dog bite or attack:

• Do not scream or yell
• Do not Panic.
• Wash out the wound with soap and water.
• Seek Medical attention
• Report the bite to Maricopa County Animal Care and Control
• Contact an Arizona Dog Bite Attorney
