It's the owner ... and the dog
Just as children are not born with prejudice but must be taught, dogs are not born as biters but become biters because of their owners. Fine and/or jail the owners of biting dogs consistently and the biting will subside.
I know of pit bulls that are the sweetest creatures around and poodles that will rip your face off given half a chance.
Owners should have to take a class on the responsibilities and potential penalties of dog ownership. Come to think of it, we should do the same for potential parents.
