The claim that the so-called "Kampfhunde" are becoming increasingly dangerous to humans has been the subject of much discussion in Germany. A critical analyses of canine breeds that have been classified as "Kampfhunde" convinces that breed is not an useful possibility for avoiding accidents with dogs: 1. Zoologically no particular breed of dog can be classified as being more dangerous than others and 2. so-called "Kampfhunde" are statistically unimportend as a vector in dog accidents. It would be more productive in the future to substitute the term "Kampfhund" with "dangerous dog" without reference to the breed and to emphasize the role of the owner in the human danger posed by a dog.
