The "danger" of a dog breed is influenced by many factors, and experts on this topic often disagree. Just calling a dog dangerous is dishonest. However, in the case of some breeds, it can be said for sure that a dog of this breed will do more harm to its victim - if it decides to attack. It is on this principle that these 25 breeds are selected.

Owners of these pets should remember that they can be aggressive, so you should first carefully study the characteristics of each breed. We bring to your attention a rating where the most dangerous dogs in the world are presented.

On what basis are dogs ranked among the most dangerous?

There are a large number of conditions according to which some breeds are in the top 10. When breeding them, the main goal of breeders was to create an aggressive animal with certain qualities. That is why puppies are subjected to a special training method at an early age.

There are breeds that were originally designed for attack. They are characterized by aggression, courage and strength.

There are the following potentially dangerous dog breeds that are in the top 10:

• fighting;
• security;
• watchdog;
• hunting.

It should be noted that the hunting breed will not attack a person without any reason, since such dogs are trained to hunt game or animals. However, under certain conditions, a very angry dog ​​can also pose a threat to humans. We suggest watching a video on this topic (author SiselPRO).

Representatives of the fighting breed are distinguished by the fact that their attack, fights and aggression are laid down in their genetics. Their stranglehold deserves special attention. Such dogs should be properly trained so that they do not throw themselves at other dogs or people without reason or commands. Any reminder of the fight will be regarded by the animals as a challenge. They attack, as a rule, without any sounds and very quietly.

Angry Pets Review

Dogs are quite friendly to people. They are sociable, but under certain conditions, even the cutest dog can turn into an aggressive beast. So, the following most dangerous dog breeds are in the top 10 most dangerous dogs in the world.

pit bull

This is the most dangerous dog in the world. The law of some countries categorically prohibits breeding this breed. Initially, they were fighting dogs. They are distinguished by a large body and powerful muscles. For the first time this breed was obtained in Germany. The height of the pit bull is 46-55 cm at the withers, body weight - 36 kg.

Given that the pit bull is a fighting breed, in the hands of inexperienced owners, the dog can become dangerous, due to its uncontrolled aggression and anger. These dogs are fearless and can handle almost any opponent. They are able to clench their prey in their teeth until death.

The breed itself originated in England in the 19th century. The Bull Terrier has an intimidating appearance, however, with the right upbringing, he is a good companion and behaves friendly.

German boxer

This dog is intimidating. Representatives of this breed have an energetic and playful character, and often serve as guards.

They made it into the top 10 due to their strong and stocky physique, as well as the presence of a very strong jaw. But, despite this fact, German boxers lend themselves well to training, and also get along well with people.

Siberian Husky

This breed was bred for sledding. Its representatives have a hunting instinct. Russia is considered their country of origin. The height of the dog at the withers is 60 cm, and by weight they can reach up to 30 kg. The nature of these dogs is peaceful and playful, they get along well with people.

doberman

Outwardly elegant and graceful, while quite strong. They belong to the category of protective breeds. They get along well with children, but they are explosive in nature, therefore, when they show aggression, they are dangerous to humans.

You can't tell by their appearance that they are evil. Many regard them as a fluffy lump with a melancholy character. The breed was bred in China. The growth of the dog at the withers reaches 56 cm, and they can weigh 30 kg.

German Shepherd

Very smart, loyal and attentive dogs. Their character is distinguished by courage and self-confidence. In addition, physically these dogs are very strong. Representatives of this breed are excellent companions and guards.

Recently, American scientists conducted research and published a list of the most dangerous dog breeds for humans. It may seem strange to you, but seemingly harmless dogs entered it. However, under certain circumstances, in a particular situation, even they can be very dangerous.

But let's not talk about the bad. These are just extremes that arise due to improper upbringing or due to the deliberate cultivation in a certain dog of deliberate malice and aggression towards people and other animals.

It is impossible, especially fighting and large dogs, to deprive them of education and let them grow and develop on their own. Dogs, they are like children - what we let them become, how we raise them, they will become like that.

Here is a list of the most dangerous dog breeds in the world.

We all know how harmless these dogs look. About them, even children's and kind cartoons are drawn. But, statistics and science are harsh things. If you look closely at the breed, it becomes clear that they belong to guard dogs.

The average weight of a Dalmatian can reach up to 30 kg. Pretty big dog.

Dalmatians may well show aggression if they are somehow provoked. They are also distinguished by their intelligence, intelligence and good memory. It is very difficult to raise such a pet on your own and correctly.

You may need special classes and advice from specialists and breeders of the breed. Dalmatians are very energetic, and therefore they should be given a lot of time to expend energy.

Boxers are distinguished by their stubbornness and independence. Aggressiveness was not originally laid in their genes. Despite their disposition, they are very playful and agile.

Initial skills are not enough to train such a dog!

In order not to be afraid in the future for your health and the health of others, it is necessary to engage in education from puppyhood, including under the supervision of a specialist.

This breed was bred to tame livestock and to protect it from a possible attack by wild animals. These are large dogs.

The weight of an adult individual can reach 50 kg.

Such a dog will easily cope with a person in case of an attack. And the latter will have practically no chance of winning.

In appearance, these are very cute and good-natured animals that resemble bears. They do not look aggressive and capable of attacking a person at all.

But this breed without proper attention and proper education can become a threat to you!

If they seem independent, this does not mean that they should be deprived of attention. Due to the special structure of the Chow Chow muzzle, when inhaling and exhaling, they often make a sound similar to a growl.

It is especially noticeable during walks, when the dog has an increased breathing rate. Because of this growl, many passers-by avoid Chow Chow, although in fact, without a reason, these dogs with a purple tongue do not pose a threat.

Dobermans were bred as watchdogs. And they were not included in this list by chance.

An adult representative of this breed can reach a weight of up to 40 kg.

Dobermans are devoted to their owners. Very often they attack precisely because they see a threat to their family, owner and to the territory that the dog considers his own. It is not worth provoking such a formidable and large dog. Otherwise, you can greatly regret it.

Outwardly, these dogs are very reminiscent of wolves. But of course they differ in the level of danger. These animals have one distinguishing feature: they are very smart and sometimes refuse to obey those who are considered stupid.

Malamute is a large breed (from 30 to 43 kilograms).

If a Malamute is left alone for a long time and given little attention, then this can cause serious harm to both the environment that surrounds the dog and random people. Give such a dog at least 2 hours a day, and she will enjoy life with you.

Another one of the descendants of wolves. Outwardly, they are the spitting image of wolves. At the same time, they are very smart, and their energy flows over the edge. They are in the middle weight category. An adult dog can weigh up to a maximum of 30 kg.

Because of their activity, they require a lot of time for walks, otherwise they can throw out all their unspent energy on others. Sometimes this does not happen in a very good-natured way.

It is not worth getting such a dog to be a watchman. Just like their fellow malamutes, huskies must be brought up with a special obedience course.

If this breed of dog was not on the list of the most dangerous dogs in the world, then many would be very surprised. The fact is that the German Shepherd breed was bred for a specific purpose. And often, these days, that goal is people. It is considered one of the best service breeds in the world.

Such a dog weighs an average of 45 kg. If you do not educate, then it will be difficult to cope with it in the future.

The dog has a quick reaction, high intelligence and is very attentive, it can also make decisions on its own in certain situations. For these reasons, it is in demand by detective agencies and law enforcement agencies.

Dogs of this breed are very good guards. Of course, this quality can be developed only with proper education and training.

With such a large weight - up to 60 kg, such a dog can even cause serious injuries to a person without resorting to bites.

This breed has a good sense of its own territory, which they are ready to defend to the end. In the event of a conflict with such a dog, it is best to retreat without resorting to flight.

Most likely you are not surprised. Pit bulls were bred in the United States of America as fighting dogs. They have virtually no sense of fear.

Even under the threat of death, they will not open their jaws without being convinced that they have won.

A representative of this breed can be raised as a family dog, but if the Pit Bull Terrier smells and tastes blood at least once, then it will be difficult for him to avoid fights with other dogs in the future.

Conclusion

Many dogs have a genetic tendency to attack and fight, at least in some breeds it is clearly present. In a normal situation, they may not attack you, but if the situation is associated with a fight or fight, they are unlikely to take advantage of such an offer and accept the challenge.

Fighting dogs are the most dangerous from this point of view - they attack silently and without warning. Their death grip is so strong that sometimes even the efforts of several people are not enough to open their jaws and free the victim.

Simply put, if the dog can regard any of your actions as an offer of a fight or aggression directed against it, then in this case, waiting for the dog to silently step aside is pointless and very dangerous.

They are often called killer dogs, and from time to time loud scandals arise around the attacks of dogs on people. What breeds of dogs are potentially dangerous for humans, who is to blame and what to do?

Distinctive features of dangerous breeds

The aggression of a particular dog towards a person, of course, does not mean that its entire breed should be classified as uncontrollable killers. If you look, then almost every such case is the fault of a person, not an animal.

It must be remembered that many breeds were originally bred specifically to kill - and not only animals, but also people: in ancient times, powerful dogs fought with gladiators for the amusement of the nobility, strictly guarded slaves on plantations and did not even disdain human flesh. It is in our power to control the genetic memory of pets: most dogs are very malleable - they can be “sculpted” by raising both a killer monster and an obedient, balanced assistant.

The hunting instinct is present in the nature of all dogs, it can be used both for peaceful purposes - to serve a person, for his benefit, and for the misfortune of others. Dogs of potentially dangerous breeds, regardless of their purpose, are endowed with common features, including:

• distrust and aggressiveness towards strangers;
• courage and determination;
• security qualities;
• selflessness in the interests of the pack;
• desire to dominate and willingness to obey the leader.

Training is a prerequisite for keeping dogs of potentially dangerous breeds

Systematic competent training is obligatory for such dogs - thanks to an experienced trainer, their working potential is revealed, but at the same time the animal remains adequate and manageable. However, even the most experienced cynologist is not able to predict all possible provocative moments and the reaction of the pet to them. Therefore, the following precautions must be strictly observed:

• avoid uncontrolled contact with strangers;
• when keeping the yard, ensure the reliability of the perimeter so that the dog cannot go beyond it;
• in crowded places, walk a pet only on a leash and in a muzzle;
• do not entrust the care of the dog to children and elderly family members.

Don't leave your child alone with a fighting dog

Overview of the most dangerous dog breeds

There is no single rating of especially dangerous breeds - each country, even each region has its own sad statistics, on the basis of which a biased attitude and terrible myths about cannibal dogs are formed. At the beginning of 2019, the list of potentially dangerous dogs was also officially presented in Russia - according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it included 69 breeds, as well as their mestizos.

After some time, the list was reduced to 13 items - they removed, for example, a completely harmless sharpei, guilty only because his very ancient ancestors once participated in battles for the amusement of Chinese emperors.

Some other items on the list are also doubtful: some breeds are so rare in Russia that ordinary people hear about them for the first time, other breeds do not exist at all - their names are misspelled (“gul dog” instead of “gul dong”; “North Caucasian dog” instead of “ Caucasian Shepherd).

Here are the killer breeds on the final list:

• akbash;
• american bandog;
• ambuldog;
• brazilian bulldog;
• bully kutta;
• Alapaha Purebred Bulldog (Otto);
• bandog;
• wolf-dog hybrids, wolf-dogs and their offspring;
• ghoul dong;
• pit bullmastiff;
• Caucasian Shepherd Dog;
• interbreed mestizos;
• crossbreeds with outbred dogs.

However, the alarming list can be significantly supplemented - any guard breed of large dimensions can pose a danger, sometimes even one from whom you do not expect an attack.

What dogs attack people most often

You may be surprised, but the absolute leaders in biting are not some huge monster dogs, but the cutest spaniels - both experienced cynologists and injured groomers unanimously told me about this. No less than large breeds, it shows aggression towards humans and every decorative trifle - of course, the troubles in these cases are incommensurable.

The fact is that dogs are not aware of their size and capabilities: the microscopic alpha male toy will seriously throw himself at a huge mastiff, in whose mouth he could sit spaciously, as if in a carrier. With aggression towards people - the same story: a healthy and mentally balanced dog of any breed can overcome the species taboo and attack a person in three cases:

• if she, the owner or members of the pack are threatened, in her opinion, by danger;
• when the boundaries of the territory that she considers her own are violated;
• when a stranger encroaches on the sacred - on food.

A separate topic is individuals with a torn psyche, extremely neglected in upbringing or trained in a special way for malice; in all these options, the human factor is clearly visible, and not the fault of the dog.

And if you believe the reports of the same press, then in cases of daring attacks on people, their injuries and even murders, it’s by no means master’s dogs that lead, but semi-feral mongrels that have huddled in packs - they really represent a big problem that we ourselves created for ourselves .

Top 10 Killer Dogs

Oddly enough, in open Russian sources there is no reliable information about which breeds of dogs more often than others direct aggression against humans. But such statistics are kept by cynologists and animal rights activists in the United States and Canada - this rating is based on their data over the past forty years.

This cute dog is not as harmless as we used to think about him. Labrador - companion, guide, best friend of children; however, it is this breed that completes the top ten most dangerous dogs in the USA and Canada, where the dogs are "famous" for attacks on postmen, couriers, merchants and other outsiders who came too close to the doors of the house.

Charming "bear cub" with a purple tongue - Chow Chow has a very peculiar character. This is a typical example of a dog of one owner, which idolizes its owner, and only tolerates the rest of the family, not to mention strangers. It is quite possible to expect an attack from an ill-mannered Chow Chow, which, at best, will end only with bites.

On the conscience of the Chow Chow 8 human deaths and 40 injuries

Most of us learned about this breed from the film-melodrama "Hachiko: The Most Faithful Friend", whose hero daily for nine years came to meet his departed owner at the station.

The Siberian Husky has 26 deaths and 27 injuries

wolfdogs

Various crossbreeds of domestic dogs with wild wolves, which are called wolfdogs or wolfdogs, are not distinguished as a separate breed; these hybrids are unpredictable and have a great potential for aggression towards humans.

Wolfdogs: 19 deaths, bites - 49

How did it happen that this universal favorite, the best of service dogs, turned out to be one of the leaders in the rating of aggressor breeds? The German Shepherd did not serve well for its huge popularity, which led to irresponsible commercial breeding - a lot of hysterical, uncontrollable and even cowardly individuals appeared in the breed, which the owners cannot cope with.

German Shepherds have 15 fatal attacks on people and 73 injuries

A rather rare breed in our country, it is distinguished by stubbornness, willfulness and tough security qualities.

The pit bull is rightly considered the most vicious dog in the world, although their owners talk about the gentle and affectionate nature of their pets.

The history of the breed of these dogs comes from England in the 19th century. The Bull Terrier is the result of mixing classic English Bulldogs and Terriers. As a result, these animals have acquired a frightening appearance (especially the head), which cannot be confused with any other breed of dog. With a benevolent upbringing, Bull Terriers become devoted companion dogs and usually do not show aggression towards people. Bullies are very active and require long walks and games. These dogs have very powerful muscles, an incredibly strong jaw and a so-called “dead grip”. Also, it should be remembered that bull terriers do not get along well with other animals, including dogs.
