In that article she downplays the significance of breed significantly and puts all emphasis on the specific genetics of the individual dog e.g. not from a puppy farm and nurture. But it's a theme through anything if you search "Carri Westgarth breed"
"Westgarth, whose book The Happy Dog Owner is out this month, says that even dog trainers often share the commonly held view that some attacks are inevitable and associated with certain breeds – and certain types of owners. Yet fatal attacks remain extremely rare; there were fewer than three a year, on average, from 1981 to 2015. While attacks by “dangerous” breeds such as pit bulls make front pages, Tulloch says there is no good data on breeds and bites. Any breed can bite, Westgarth adds."

In the interview she said anyone who claims its the owner and not the dog is wrong and that breed plays a significant factor. Or are you saying she said something else somewhere else?
