A fabulous post by The Muzzle Movement.
All dog bites should be taken seriously, whether from a small or large breed dog.
Risk assessments form part of my overall behaviour assessment, regardless of the dog's bite history.
Simply put, if your dog has teeth - they can bite, no matter their size, shape or breed.
Understanding dog body language is a great way to prevent bites, but if you're ever in doubt, give dogs plenty of space (that includes dogs you know well!) or separating dogs from people and other dogs is the safest option until they are assessed.
Always work with a suitably qualified behaviourist if you're concerned about your dog's behaviour.
