I do not know about the Belgian shepherd, but it is true about the German shepherds. There is really a lot of bites by them, simply because it is one of the most world-spread breed. There is many of them and unfortunatelly also many of them without pedigree. The more people want GSDs, the more there is producers of such puppies, and of course, which one of them cares about the character or health of the parents..
GSD´s without pedigree are often given for free or for symbolic price, I´ve seen GSD pups (non pedigree) for 500-800 Kc in Czech republic. (1 euro is now 28Kc). That´s nothing and this way, anyone who wants big dog can get GSD, no matter if they have experiences or abilities to manage the dog. So the number of bite accidents is higher and simply corresponds with the amount of GSDs.
It would be hard to have high number of bites from let´s say kuvasz, as it is special breed and not really known. Therefore the breeding is more controled, the owners usually know what they are getting and how to educate and keep such dog.
