My first real bite was while bathing a Rottweiler. She'd been with us for weeks, really horribly sick, bad diarrhea. She was also old and arthritic, and I must have moved her the wrong way, because she just turned and snapped on my hand. Nothing bad, but it shocked the hell out of me. And then I was stuck, alone in the back with this Rottie up on the tub and no way of getting her down. I had to stand there at leash length waiting for someone to come back to help me get her down.
The worst I've had was at the breeder I work for. She had two litters at once, and the whelping boxes were in the same room. I accidentally let the two bitches into the room at the same time, and Allie went towards Katie's puppies, and all hell broke loose. I just full-on panicked and did the stupidest thing ever and tried scruffing them and dragging them apart, and Katie just kept going at me. She bit me hard on the forearm and on my thigh. I was lucky to be wearing jeans, so the thigh wasn't that bad. The arm wasn't either, badly bruised with a few puncture wounds. Left some scars, but it could have been way worse. Of course, after the fact when I looked at the two girls, neither of them had anything worse than some bald spots.
Of course, from then on if they are in the room together with pups, one of them has x-pens all around her box so they can't get to each other.
