From the first link: When it bites, it attacks in a more dangerous way than any other breed. It does not just bite you - it bites you and holds on.

That's what the type was bred for. When you're trying to protect your herds from wolves, you want a dog who's going to get a good grip and hold on, and you want a dog who can put up with a lot of abuse. Hm. It looks like the Hagerstown law is to register the dogs. Pfaugh. If they really want to impose safety, they'd do better to require muzzling any dog in public. *cynical look* And while we're at it, how about we require dog owners to provide passers-by with kevlar body armor. And said dog owners should also brand a big "PB" on their forehead, so everybody knows they have potentially vicious dogs at home.

Bah.
