The statement that it is possible to calculate the bite rate for different dog breeds is not accurate, which makes it false. Calculating bite rates is complex due to several factors, including the lack of comprehensive and consistent data across all breeds. Bite rates can vary significantly not just by breed but also based on individual dogs, their training, upbringing, and socialization, along with the specific circumstances that lead to biting incidents.

While some studies may attempt to gather data on bite incidents linked to certain breeds, these studies often face challenges such as underreporting, differences in jurisdictional definitions of "bite," and varying methodologies in data collection. Therefore, while there might be anecdotal evidence suggesting that certain breeds show a higher propensity for biting, there is insufficient data to arrive at a definitive and accurate bite rate for different breeds as a whole.
