I think statistically there are probably more attacks by 'fashion accessory' dogs than 'devil dogs' and their ilk. But lets face it, a maltese isn't going to rip your arm off.

This is what it comes down to. Yap yap dogs make up a tremendous majority of dog bites, but since they're so small most of the bites go unreported because they don't cause grievous damage. A full blown mauling from a Yorkie will do less damage than a playful nip from my GSDs.
