Representatives of this breed get along well with other animals in the family and get along quite well with children. But as soon as they leave their home, they expand the boundaries of the territory they protect. They are aggressive towards other four-legged animals, and given the fact that their weight adult can reach up to 90 kg, the result of their attack can be serious injuries and even death of the animal. Aggression can be either territorial, possessive, or dominant. If the owner cannot take a leading place in the hierarchy, then his pet will very quickly get out of control and turn into a monster.

In some countries these fighting dogs prohibited for breeding.

The pit bull is a representative of the fighting breed, whose aggressiveness over the past many years they have tried to reduce at the genetic level. Pitbulls are tireless fighters with a steely fight.

Shepherds react especially negatively to unbalanced people who are prone to scandals or are in drunkenness. It is not recommended to have a Caucasian for people who will not be able to dominate her and devote enough time and money to raising her.

The Chow Chow rightfully ranks among the most evil dogs in the world. This is one of ancient breeds in the world, genetically they are very close to wolves, which explains their behavior. Many are misled by their original plush appearance. They are actually quite aggressive creatures.

They are characterized by a high degree of conflict towards their own kind. Moreover, they attack without any warning signs. Bull Terriers were bred exclusively as a fighting dog with low sensitivity to pain, steel jaws, a compact powerful body, fearlessness and ferocity when participating in specialized fights.

The American Staffordshire Terrier is a breed that was bred to produce an aggressive and courageous dog. Severe and tough amstafs rarely leave anyone indifferent with their impressive appearance and physical strength. A low pain threshold and absolute fearlessness make them the most dangerous opponents in combat. These true fighters were created for battles and bloodshed. Nowadays they are used mainly to guard private houses, however, the fighting past due to genetics is still evident in the breed.

The Hungarian Kuvasz is a good guard and shepherd with a very interesting and impressive appearance. But this breed did not become widespread due to the difficult nature of its representatives.

This ancient herding breed characterized by fearlessness and a high degree of devotion to the owner. Proud and moderately distrustful, Kuvasz become rude and harsh when mistreated. In addition to a hypertrophied sense of ownership, they are distinguished by a strong independence, so it is especially important to systematically work with a dog handler to correct their freedom-loving disposition, which quickly turns into aggression.

Not included in the top 10, but worthy of mention

Below we describe breeds whose evil disposition is not as pronounced as that of dogs that took an honorable 10 places in our ranking, but it is worth talking about them.

Dachshund

Despite their compact size, these burrowing dogs pose a serious danger to others. Statistics collected around the world say that every 5 dachshunds have tried to attack other four-legged animals or strangers at least once in their life. Cases of attacks on owners, although less common, are also present.

This breed of dog cannot be called very dangerous for humans. As with other participants in this rating, we are talking about a pet’s tendency to show aggression due to genetic factors. As a rule, undesirable behavior in dachshunds is associated with human harshness and wrong methods raising puppies.

Papillon

Papillons are the living embodiment of the statement about appearance being deceptive. These charming decorative dogs give the impression of being kind and calm creatures. In fact, the degree of aggressiveness of Papillons is very high. When contacting this breed, you should especially be wary of children. These small dogs quickly become irritated, do not tolerate disrespectful treatment and bite painfully.

The increased viciousness is also explained by the strong jealousy of pets towards their owner. They always sensitively guard their owners and attack strangers or other dogs if they think their owner is in danger.

The Jagdterrier is a German hunting terrier, a breed bred in the 30s of the twentieth century specifically for hunting. The small size of jags should not mislead others about their friendliness and easy-going nature. Jagdterriers can rightfully lead the top of the most evil small dogs.

They are absolutely fearless and resilient, and treat any stranger with extreme caution. Representatives of this breed will protect their owner even at the cost of their own lives. You can try to reduce their aggressiveness through early socialization and persistent and firm training.

These tireless hunters can chase and attack animals many times their own size; once they smell game, they will never let it go. Strong teeth and steel muscles turn Jagdterriers into living weapons. Lack of education and a dominant owner are the main mistakes of yagd owners, which can cost them dearly. If the family already has a small dog or other small pet, it is not recommended to get a Jagd Terrier. Their acute hunting instinct can lead to tragedy even during play.

Spaniel

Spaniels are prominent representatives of aggressive small dogs. In the case of this breed, we can talk about a genetic predisposition to uncontrolled aggression. This is especially true for male Cocker Spaniels and Springer Spaniels. Males of uniform color are prone to attack not only other animals, strangers, but even their own owners. It is almost impossible to correct this rage, if it is clinical in nature rather than behavioral.

However, most often the viciousness of spaniels is associated with improper upbringing, unbalanced diet, stress and fear. By adjusting these points and with the help of an experienced dog handler, the increased aggressiveness of spaniels can be eliminated.

Jack Russell is a high-speed dog whose main purpose is to chase and drive the animal. She is ready to chase literally anything that moves. Small size is often compensated by a difficult character and increased aggression. For a terrier, the reason for an attack can be a sidelong glance from a stranger, a loud voice, or simply a person’s leg hanging from the sofa.

Dogs of this breed need a lot motor activity per day, ideally several hours-long walks. Not all owners have this opportunity; as a result, the unspent energy of the four-legged animal is transformed into open anger towards others.

In the video you can often see angry Jack Russell dogs chasing various animals. It is important to wean terriers from chasing cats and other living creatures, since as a result of such a chase the pet itself may suffer.

The most dangerous dogs in the world: prohibited “cholerics” and permitted “hypocrites”

Although “Dog is Man’s Friend,” there are breeds that were clearly not bred to be human friends. They can be not so much good guards as a potential danger both for uninvited guests and for the owner himself.

It is difficult to determine exactly which is the most dangerous dog in the world: the seemingly cute American pit bull terrier, the lion hunter Dogo Argentino, or the Caucasian shepherd dog familiar to Russian people. In any case, among those who received the title of “the most evil” there are many both frequently occurring and quite rare breeds.

Prohibited dog breeds

This collection contains characteristics of fairly well-known breeds that are prohibited or limited in breeding due to their bad character.

American Pit Bull Terrier

The American Pit Bull Terrier often receives the title of the most dangerous dog in the world. The breed is banned in many countries of the world: from Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, etc.) and Asia (Israel, Singapore, etc.) to Europe (Switzerland, Norway, Great Britain, Denmark, etc.) and America (some states of the USA and Canada ).

Despite its small size (weight about 30 kg with average height), the dog is dangerous - without a doubt, the winner in dog fights, the best “policeman” and bodyguard.

She is affectionate towards children by nature - loves to play with them, good-natured towards children, devoted to her owner, intelligent. It is this breed, despite its bad “reputation” in many countries, that is considered one of the best for family and protection.

Neapolitan Mastiff (Mastino Napoletano)

The breed was bred in Italy a long time ago for baiting wild animals in the arenas of Ancient Rome and for guarding. Nowadays it is used for guard duty. An interesting fact is that it was Mastino Napoletano that was used in the filming of the famous “Harry Potter” in the role of Fang, the giant Hagrid’s pet.

The Neapolitan Mastiff is very loyal, even too loyal. He can easily become jealous of his owner, showing his displeasure in an aggressive manner. He is also unkind towards children and other animals.

For the reasons described above, breeding of the Mastino Napoletana is limited in Romania, Singapore, and prohibited in some states of America and Bermuda.

Bandog

This is not a breed, but rather the name of a cross between an American Pit Bull Terrier (or a Staffordshire Terrier) and a Neapolitan Mastiff.

The translation of the name – “chain dog” – fully corresponds to the character of the bandogs. They are fearless, bold and aggressive. This is not surprising, because initially their main purpose was to participate in dog fights. The hopes of the breeders were not justified. Bandogs are inferior in battle to their “parents” - American pit bull terriers, quickly retreating before their pressure and refusing to fight.

Ownership of bandogs is limited in Belarus and Romania, the “breed” is prohibited in Switzerland and some states of America.

Tosa Inu

Like Bandogs, Tosa Inu were designed to participate in dog fighting. The only difference is that the Tosa Inu did not have to “bite” the opponent, but pressed him to the ring. Dogs were forbidden to bark in the ring or cause damage to the opponent - such participants were disqualified.

Representatives of the breed are calm and very “silent”, usually unobtrusive and not aggressive. But they are difficult to train, stubborn, and sometimes unpredictable towards strangers and other dogs.

The breed is prohibited in Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Bermuda, some states of America, etc.

Caucasian Shepherd Dog

Although this breed is recognized as potentially dangerous in Russia, it is common among dog breeders in the country. Large size (males reach 75 centimeters in height and 50 kilograms in weight), thick coat that protects well from frost, courage and distrust of strangers - characteristics due to which the dog is increasingly used for protection.

Originally bred to protect sheep from wolves. Now it is used for guard duty.

Due to its ferocious nature and intractability to train, the breed is banned (or restricted in breeding) in Denmark and Italy.

Rottweiler

Another prohibited breed of dog familiar to Russian people. Interestingly, this is one of the oldest breeds. It was developed in the middle of the 18th century in Germany.

Rottweilers are large, hardy and energetic. They have a fairly balanced character, treat strangers calmly, and love children. At the same time, Rottweilers are quite independent (but not stubborn, like, for example, the already mentioned Tosa Inu!), and require a serious approach to training. The Rottweiler's bite is considered the strongest of all dogs.

The breed is prohibited or restricted in breeding in Spain, France, Israel, American states, Italy, etc.

Fila Brasileiro

The breed originally appeared to hunt bears, jaguars, and even track down escaped slaves in Brazil in the mid-20th century. Like the Caucasian Shepherd, the dog is quite large - males reach 70 centimeters in height and weigh 50-60 kg.

Fila Brasileiro can truly be called a man's friend. Dogs of this breed feel their duty to their owners and persistently protect them. That is the problem. There are frequent cases when Phils attack people because of their distrust of strangers.

Prohibited (or limited) breeding and import of the breed in Cyprus, Malta, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, USA and in a number of European countries– Portugal, Spain, Great Britain, Denmark.

Czechoslovakian wolfhound

This breed appeared as a result of crossing the Carpathian wolf and German Shepherd. It is dangerous because its representatives can behave unpredictably and often attack small children, considering them prey.

Czechoslovakian wolfhounds are very “universal”. Although they were bred to participate in military operations, the dogs were subsequently used as rescuers, search engines, shepherds, and in protective guard service.

The Czechoslovakian Wolfhound is banned in Norway and military camps in the United States.

Dogo Argentino

This breed, as the name suggests, was developed in Argentina almost 100 years ago. Its representatives are not very large in size (males weigh on average 50 kg with a height of 64 cm), when compared with a mastiff or Caucasian Shepherd. However, this fact does not make the Great Dane safer. Dogs are characterized by an athletic body structure, the ability to “jump” high and the character of a hunter.

The Dogo Argentino was originally bred to hunt mountain lions, pumas and peccaries. Now they are purchased for security, protection and simply as a companion. Despite this, Dogo Argentinos are banned in 10 countries: Australia, Great Britain, Israel, Spain, Norway, etc.

Allowed dog breeds

Below are breeds whose breeding is not limited, but they are considered potentially dangerous. This means that there have not yet been a large number of cases of dog attacks on humans, but the size, temperament or improper training of the dog can pose a danger to both the owner and strangers.

Rhodesian Ridgeback

Another name for the breed is “lion dog”. It is associated with the purpose of Ridgebacks - they were used as assistants by lion hunters. Despite this fact, representatives of the breed are patient, child-friendly, and quiet.

The problem with Rhodesian Ridgebacks is that if not trained correctly they can become unmanageable. Manifests natural character hunter, the dog becomes dominant in the relationship with the owner. The breed is not suitable for weak people who are accustomed to allowing their pet a lot.

Chow chow

Most people associate the Chow Chow with good nature, fluffy fur and a sweet look. So it is, representatives of this breed are usually melancholic, constantly “flying in the clouds” and do not particularly pay attention to what is happening around them.

At the same time, Chow Chows do not like strangers and do not trust strangers. Representatives of the breed especially do not like the excessive love of strangers. If the dog does not like the too persistent desire of a stranger to play or hug, it may attack. If something makes a Chow Chow angry, she is capable of turning from a distant melancholic into an aggressive defender at one moment.

Bull Terrier

The crossing of bulldogs and terriers by the British gave rise to the history of bull terriers. The result was terrifying: strong body, elongated muzzle, scissor bite. Despite this appearance, the breed is quite peaceful and friendly.

However strong jaw with a "death grip" is a dangerous characteristic of a dog. If suddenly your pet doesn’t like something, he is capable of biting. Bull Terrier bites are the most dangerous of all dogs.

Gul Dong

Gul Dong, bulldog, Pakistani mastiff – there are many different names for this breed. It was originally used in colonial India (modern Pakistan) for baiting wild animals and participating in dog fights.

The dogs' flexibility, strength and strong muscles are combined with their intractability to training, making them one of the most dangerous dogs. They are especially aggressive towards other animals, children and teenagers. They act with lightning speed. Only an experienced dog handler can conquer this breed; an amateur dog breeder cannot handle the task.

Doberman

The Doberman appeared for the first time in Germany for guard duty. Today they are often used by the military and police. Dobermans have an amazing sense of smell and sense of smell. These are very loyal dogs to their owner. They are friendly towards children, peaceful and true "family men".

Despite their moderate temperament, there are frequent cases of Dobermans attacking humans. The fact is that representatives of this breed have poor self-control if they see a threat to their family from a stranger.

In fact, there are no 100% dangerous dog breeds. There are only poorly controlled and tightly built ones. It all depends on the owner’s level of physical fitness and his readiness to be the “leader of the pack” in relation to his pets. Love your dog, train and educate it, and then even the stubborn Ghoul Dong will become an obedient companion!
