Top 10 Dangerous Dogs


Top 10 Most Dangerous Dog Breeds


1. Pit Bulls

Pit bulls are very unpredictable and are notorious for their voracious behavior. They are considered dangerous because when they attack, they don’t leave the victim and never loose their hold while biting a person. Their appearance is also very threatening as they have bulky body and weigh 55-65 lbs. Their jaws are too strong that they can kill the victim only with their jaws. They mostly attack on throat which is the most delicate part of human body.







2. Rottweilers

They are calm yet fearless and alert dogs. They only become violent if appropriate training is not given to them or they are maltreated. Their bite force is considered to be very strong. A Rottweiler is self-confident and responds quietly and with a wait-and-see attitude to influences in its environment. It has an inherent desire to protect home and family, and is an intelligent dog of extreme hardness and adaptability with a strong willingness to work, making them especially suited as a companion, guardian and general all-purpose dog.

3. German Shepherds
German Shepherds are highly active dogs, and described in breed standards as self-assured. The breed is marked by a willingness to learn and an eagerness to have a purpose. Shepherds have a loyal nature and bond well with people they know. However, they can become over-protective of their family and territory, especially if not socialized correctly. An aloof personality makes them approachable, but not inclined to become immediate friends with strangers. German Shepherds are highly intelligent and obedient and some people think they require a “firm hand”, but more recent research into training methods has shown they respond as well, if not better, to reward based training methods.

4. Huskies


Huskies are proved very dangerous dogs if suitable training is not given to them. Their eyes resemble to that of wolves. They are very energetic dogs and need lot of bodily exercise. They are mostly kept as watch dogs as they have impulsive behavior and this behavior sometimes stimulate them to attack causing severe injuries. This is the reason they are included in the list of top ten vicious dogs.
Despite of their energy and intelligence this breed is not regarded a good guard dog. It is caused by its kind temperament and personality characteristics.



5. Alaskan Malamutes



This breed requires a lot of exercises to be happy as being bored they become disobedient. On the whole their characteristic features are energy and activity.
The Malamute is generally slower in long-distance dogsled racing against smaller and faster breeds and their working usefulness is limited to freighting or traveling over long distances at a far slower rate than that required for racing. They can also help move heavy objects over shorter distances.



6. Doberman Pinschers


The Doberman Pinscher or Doberman is a breed of domestic dog. Dobermann Pinschers are among the most common of pet breeds, and the breed is well known as an intelligent, alert, and loyal companion dog. Although once commonly used as guard dogs or police dogs, this is less common today. In many countries, Dobermann Pinschers are one of the most recognizable breeds, in part because of their actual roles in society, and in part because of media attention.  Careful breeding has improved the disposition of this breed, and the modern Dobermann Pinscher is an energetic and lively breed suitable for companionship and family life
