Any dog can and will bite at any time with the right stimuli.
Some dogs, when biting such as Pit bulls, and Cane Corsos will do more damage than others because of the structure of their skulls. Any well motivated herding group dog biting is going to hurt.
The trick is to identify a biting situation and avoid it if possible.
Many dogs posture is a great clue if you can recognize it.
I can't really agree with you that no breed bites more than others. There seems to be an awful amount of pit bull attacks. Maybe it's because of the damage they inflict when they do bite. Anyway, I'm not sure why anyone would want to take the chance of owning a dangerous dog. Unless, of course, you got it for protection.
I do feel the these dogs have no place at a campground where there are close quarters with others and especially children. I feel the same about the little yappers. Keep them home!
We have friends that raise service dogs. These have all been labs, probably the friendliest breed on the planet. I'd have to ask them, but I don't know what other breeds are used.
