Pit bull kills 1, sends 2nd to hospital.

exactly, retreievers in general were bred for hunting and sport, they do not have a strong bite because you dont want them to destroy the bird you just killed when it brings it back to you. My golden retreiever can bite me as hard as he can when we are playing and wrestling and it wont break the skin, it might leave a bruise or something. granted they are big animals, mine is 7 months old and about 75lbs, but he would maybe lick you to death if he "attacked" you.

my opinion to the words in bold ..

they are trained for this you can train any dogs to do this ..

retreivers are not trained to have a soft bite, i own one now and i had another golden retreiver a few years ago when i lived with my folks. neither of them are trained to be hunting dogs. it is in their blood, thats what they were bred for. my retriever and every lab i have ever encountered in my life whether it be a golden retriever or labrador have never had a strong bite.

ill have to disagree on this cause you dont know how a dog thinks and neither do i ..

yes they are bred to be sport dogs but do not misjudge them ..

my friend back home in NY has 3 retrievers and 1 lab and the golden broke skin ..

it was by accident but it still broke skin a dogs jaw is not to be messed with ..

from toys - sports - big dogs any dog can do damage if needed ..

Bs years ago a lab took a hunk of my meat right below my rib cage with him after he bit me for no reason. I was playin with a friend of mine at her house, ( it was her dog). And next thing i know it just snaps and bites me on the side. I had to have 10 stiches. And it wasnt the first time id been there. I just did something that day it didnt like. Luckly it wasnt a pit and it just bit me and ran away. Funny thing is they had it for 6 years no problems it bit me they put it down. I was only 15 at the time.
