Two other people received minor injuries in the attack, which took place in the Pwllheli area at around 11.30am on Friday.
Police were called to the scene and killed the dog - but it has not been examined by a vet, so its breed has not been made public.
Officers also found 37 dogs and several cats, which have been seized from the property in Rhoshirwaun.
North Wales police remain at the scene while inquiries continue.
