Is that true that it could bite you and because of bacterias that are living in its mouth you will get bad infection? That's what I heard from this guy?

are you talking about dystemper - dont think the doggies can give you that

the way ive seen anglers handling doggies and unhooking them - makes me think the chances of infection - are very slim/non existant

well done on the first doggie

Caught a lot of Doggies and can honestly say never been bitten by any of them. I think yer man might have been pulling your leg a bit Tomaszek..... :D

The skin is the most dangerous part on a doggie especially summer fishing in shorts and tshirts as if they wrap around you they can give you a nasty graze. As far as bites are concerned....naaaa!
