All dogs can be potentially dangerous, however some dogs are more dangerous than others. Various types of breeds can be considerably stronger and larger than a person of average size. Training, socialization and proper care can make a significant impact, however some dogs are by years of breeding more aggressive. After in depth research and analyzing the studies performed by the American Veterinary Medical Association, the CDC, and the Humane Society of the United States, we have compiled the top ten most dangerous dog breeds.
By: admin Posted: October 15, 2007
10. Dalmatian
Dalmatians are very protective dogs and can be aggressive towards humans. They are very active and need lots of exercise. They have very sensitive natures and an excellent memory. This bred is famed for their intelligence, indepedence, and survival instincts.
Weight: 40-70 lbs.
Origin: Yugoslavia
9. Boxer
Unlike their name suggest, these dogs are not typically aggressive by nature. They are bright, energetic and playful breed. Boxers have been known to be "headstrong", which makes it a bit difficult to train them but with positive reinforcement techniques, Boxers often respond much better.
Weight: 50-70 lbs.
Origin: Germany
8. Presa Canario
Originally bred to guard and fight with cattle, an attack by this dog has been described as hopeless for the victim. They are a guardian breed with man-stopping ability, incredible power and a complete lack of fear.
Weight: 80-115 lbs.
Origin: Canary Islands
7. Chow Chow
These dogs can be aggressive if poorly bred. The Chow Chow may appear to be independent and aloof for much of the day but needs constant reinforcement.
Weight: 50-70 lbs.
Origin: China
6. Doberman Pinschers
Dobermans are great guard dogs for their alertness, intelligence and loyalty. They can be agressive dogs when provoked. The typical pet Doberman attacks only if it believes that it, its property, or its family are in danger.
Weight: 65-90 lbs.
Origin: Germany
5. Alaskan Malamutes
These dogs are very energetic and active. If they are bored, they can become destructive. That's why this dog needs lots of exercise to be happy.
Weight: 75-100 lbs.
Origin: Nordic
4. Huskies
Very energetic and intelligent dogs. Not considered a good guard dog because of its personality characteristics and gentle temperament. A 2000 study of dog bites resulting in human fatalities in the U.S. found fifteen such fatalities (6% of the total) were caused by "husky-type" dogs between 1979 and 1997.
Weight: 44-66 lbs.
Origin: Alaska
3. German Shepherds
These dogs are intelligent and very alert. They are highly used by local authorities such as the police K-9 unit. German shepherds are known to be fearless and confident dogs.
Weight: 70-100 lbs.
Origin: Germany
2. Rottweilers
Rottweilers are known to be very aggressive dogs because of their keen territorial instincts. That's why they make great guard dogs.
Weight: 100-130 lbs.
Origin: Germany
1. Pit Bulls
A pit bull is a fearless dog that will take on any opponent. They will lock their jaws onto the prey until it's dead. Pit bulls have a reputation of mauling people to death and they are highly sought for dog fighting.
Weight: 55-65 lbs.
Origin: United States
Dogs most often make wonderful pets, however in certain circumstances, any type of dog can be dangerous. Even friendly dogs, can inflict great harm in the wrong circumstance.

I found this informative and interesting. This article doesn't discuss politics or legality and it even stresses that 15 deaths is 6% of all of them since 1979. It is hardly fear mongering. It was purely informational and I already knew the top three. Don't get so defensive and think that people on the internet are as dumb as the people who watch Fox News. Noone is going to get shook from reading this.

There is a Dog Statistics done on every dog each year that shows what dogs are more aggresive than others. Are you ready? Don't believe me look it up. Atts - Amercian Temperament Test Society
Anything above 80% is good!!!!
Dalmation 81.8%, Husky 86.6%, German Shepard/ cop dog 83.5%, Rotts
82.6%, Mastiff 83.9%, American Pit Bull Terrier 84.3%, American Staffordshire 83.4%, Staffordshire Bull Terrier 85.3%, and Boxer
84.3 I don't know where they got there information but it's wrong.
Now the beloved little dogs..
Collie 53.3%, Bichon Frise 79.3%, Corgi 75.4%, Chihuahua 70.3%,
Dachshund 70.2%, Setter 75%, Schnauzer 75.5%, Lhasa Apso 69.2%
I think we can all see that the little ones are far more aggresive than the big ones. Wake up!! Do your research before you jugde.
ladydi
You may be right about this study but the difference is that those little ankle biters don't do as much damage to someone when they attack...I do totally agree with you. It also makes a difference in how you raise your dogs and the settings that you place them in. All to many time people put there dogs in harmful situations that may causse them to react in an aggresive way that will harm someone. There is and chemical embalace that causes some large dogs like pitts to act more aggresive. This disorder can be tested for and treated with medications.
All Breeds Have The Potential To Be Mean Or A Really Good Dog!!!! Just because you hear more about the large dogs in the news doesn't change that fact. I have been bitten by 3 dogs. One was a dolverman and the other two were very small mature breeds.

Hi there - just browsing the net regarding this and came across this site. I was wondering where Border Collies come into this and you are the only person SO far that I have found that even mentions them. Mine is highly aggressive, very territorial, very protective over me. I am not alone either as my postlady has one the same - she has trouble taking hers for a walk as it is so aggressive with other dogs. Mine was fantastic at obediance classes and did the agility thing no problem whatsoever - he just hated the other dogs there. He has attacked so far a staff bull terrier, a rottie and a black lab. He is SO quick I don't think they stood much chance of getting hold of him - although in saying that he was a bit sore after the rottie incident - but that has made my one far far worse if he ever sees rotties (or big black dogs) when out now!!!
SO, I rank Border Collies amongst the 'could be very nasty' dogs. Although their bite to a human would not be as bad as a rottie. A friend has a pekinese which can be a nasty little so and so too.
My other dog is a greyhound which has in the past defended itself against attacks from other dogs (Mine on a lead versus a loose dog) An owner of such a dog(loose) had the nerve to 'have a go at me' when my greyhound made her dog yelp after tacking it to the ground. Just glad mine didn't shake it to death like she has done in the past - again when on a leash with rabbits when they've jumped into our path.
In all honesty, I feel totally safe with my Border Collie around the place. He is devoted to me totally. Majorly obediant. If I have guests, he wears a muzzle - just in case.
My family had a chow which hated my brother. Their labrador hated old men with walking sticks (But I think that is because my grandad must have either poked or walloped him in the past with his stick!)
Both my collie and greyhound are rescued dogs. Greyhound obviously an ex racing dog and collie I don't know any of his history so he may well have issues from the past with certain things but it is up to me to try and avoid situations if at all possible.
Concluding: I think all dogs have the ability to 'turn nasty' if provoked - and I agree with the vet who mentions that a big heavy dog's bite is going to have more clout than that of a toy poodle who weighs in at not more than a bag of sugar!

Mommy has had dogs all her life along with Daddy and they are of the same mind about this. There are no bad breeds just bad owners. Your little friend more than likely had issues with his prior owner and you just have to figure out what trigers the bad behavior. Border collies are arguably the smartest breed out there. They are high energy and need an outlet (or job) to get it out. Victoria would say that he needs a good distraction when you notice the bad behavior starting. Yelling or utherwise tensing up just feeds into it all. Try walking the other way when he sees another dog and at the same time reward his calm manor while walking the other way. Use this type od distraction/reward system with any other trouble areas and you will soon see a change.

Big dogs are WWWWWAAAAAYYYYYYYYY more genel than the little yapers!
sunny_cruse
ok any dog can be mean any dog can hurt a person or other dogs like a pitt bull I have 3 and I love them its the ppl its all about how you train them and treat them you can train any dog, cat, any thing to kill or fight I think its so wrong how ppl think about the pittbulls I think the law should crack down on the ppl not the dog or the breed it breaks my hurt that ppl what to see there and talk down about a pitt I have had pitts my whole life and never had one prob out of them but like I said its the ppl not the breed
mizzbritt1
i agree i had a pit when i was born until i was 13 and thats how old i am now my dog never tried to harm an animal or human...it's the owner....that breed will act like that if the owner teaches it but that can be with all breeds of dogs if the owner teaches it like that so its not really fair that they ban pits when other dogs can act that way!!!!!im an animal lover and especially a dog lover!!!!!!!
ilovemyminirexCoco
I'm a dog luver to and I hate to see pitbulls being put down because their owner forced them to fight! :'(
mrpitbull

pitbulls_malamutes10
I own an alaskan malamute and two pit bulls, all pure breeds, and I've never ever had a problem with them. I've actually gotten a lot of comments that my three are really well trained for their breeds. If that's your dog in the picture it's really cute.
pitbulls_malamutes10
how did you get your pit bulls to stay still long enough to take picture, cause I can't get mine to stay still for anything, when I want to get a picture of them.
Pitbull Lova24
I could care less about your facts and surveys if you never had an American Pitbull Terrier dont comment i have three female APBT's sitting next to me right now(Ending another myth that same sex APBT cant get along). I have never had a problem out of any of them. I dont want to hear your selective breeding talk either because I recently found out my tan blacknosed female's father was a grand champion fighter( FYI I dont fight them I bought her from a friend of a friend and got this info much later) and if you met her you would swear I was the biggest liar to ever live she is the furthest thing from human or dog aggressive. So if you haven't been privileged enough to have one i feel sorry for you and I would suggest you stop commenting on the dogs that I love so much.P.S This proves that with love,respect,and loyalty this is one of the best breeds out there,also most aggressive APBT are bred and trained in urban areas (Yes im black) and i doubt most of you commenting live or lived anywhere but the suburbs lol.

Hi PL24

Thornton
I am a certified dog trainer, and I oppose these sites that post facts, because for every fact toward a breed you can find one that is different. So who is right and who is wrong? The truth is that many times it is not the owners or the breed itself; all too often you will find it started with the breeder. This is not because of abuse, puppy mills and backyard breeders often don't care on which dogs they breed as long as they make money. Many times you will find that 2 dogs that had over aggressive tendencies were breed. Which yes not all of the puppies will be aggressive, although some will and then this leads to the great debate of the owner’s. If the dog was properly trained, how the owner treated the dog, and was it properly socialized. All of which can play a factor, although many times in the case with pit-bulls they will not give a warning sign before an attack, and often these attacks can be fatal.
Pit-bulls are not a bad breed, but even today many breeders are still breeding them for their protection and fighting ability. If you mistakenly buy one from one of these breeders you may find yourself with a problem later on, some get lucky and get a good one out of that litter but I assure it is luck. Any breed can be dangerous not just the ones listed here, and sometimes even training will not be able to cure natural instinct, although it can go a long way in curving the behavior it still may lead to a disaster later.
The problem with pit-bulls and the other top choices listed here is their fatality rate, not at the number of bites but the number of kills. We all know that some of the smaller breeds have been known to bite at will, and again I take it back to breeding. I have raised Dobermans, Chihuahua, Labs, Golden retrievers, Staffordshire bull terriers, rat terriers and Sheppard’s. They all were big babies although the difference being was the puppy I started with, I watched my labs brother attack its owner without cause and they were raised very similar. So which one was the aggressive breed?
The breeders often make the mistake of thinking because the dog is nice with them that they should breed them. Most people don’t know what to look for when buying a dog and will often pay for their mistake. People should be looking at the breeder closely before buying their dogs, and never should you purchase a dog without meeting both parents and getting a history on their hips, and eyes, because sometimes pain and poor eye sight can cause a dog to turn.
As far as the American Temperament Test it is not a widely recommended test by trainers, because of the fact over 80% of all dogs passes the test, and The 12-minute test simulates a casual walk through a park. In a few instances, the dog is required to walk on usual surfaces. The test focuses on stability, shyness, aggressiveness, and a few other factors. Over 80% of all dogs pass, including pit bulls.12 The test is not performed without the dog owner present (unlike the AKC's Canine Good Citizen test). It also fails to evaluate the most basic scenario that leads to aggression: How a dog reacts when it sees another dog.
Everyone of any breed would tell you that it’s the owners, because they have had a good dog of that breed, or because of training. I believe all dog owners should go through basic obedience training with a trainer that enforces good behavior in dog training. So many people still hit their dogs, which teaches them nothing other than too look out because the owner is mad. Yes negative training can work, although it takes a lot longer than positive training. More times than not owners don’t know how to raise a dog, although many times the dog does not turn aggressive if it wasn’t already breed in. If you think you know how to raise an aggressive dog or a timid one, I would suggest rather than relying on luck gets expert advice, and before purchasing any breed seek the best breeders in your area. Make sure they only breed the bitch once a year and you can meet with both parents. Research will go a long way in getting you the best of that breed and avoid becoming another statistic.
mdaughdrill
Wouldn't it be nice if everytime one of these little "ankle biters" bit someone, THEY made the local news???? I know more people personally that own APBT's(myself included) than I can count and not a single one of them have EVER been bitten. ON the other hand I personally know at least 10 people(myself included AGAIN) that have been bitten by small breeds. I would expose my throat to pitbull over a chihuahua ANY DAY! I agree with you totally in the belief that the smaller, more "family oriented" breeds don't get the negative attention they deserve. EVERY SINGLE dog on the planet has the potential to be aggressive.
haley
their is no such thing as a dangerous dog... its the owner. if the dog is raised right it will be a wonderful dog. and just to inform everybody their is no such thing as 'locking jaw' its just a myth.

You are spot on with your comment no pet is born bad' but is only made that way by us humans

This is a COMPLETELY MEANINGLESS list. Emergency room bite reports rely on subjective observations by people who may or may not know what they are talking about when they say which breed bit them. Many people do not know one breed from another. Any big black dog is a Rotteiler. Anything with pointy ears is a German Shepherd (or a Husky!) Every dog they see is a Pit Bull. And so on.
Bites by bigger dogs are disproportionately reported, because people who are bitten by bigger dogs are more apt to seek medical treatment. ANY dog of ANY breed can be provoked to bite. When examining dog bite statistics, the breed of dog is not important; the circumstances preceding and immediately following the bite are much more relevant.
Any dog of any breed can be provoked to bite. Truly dangerous dogs are a product of inappropriate socialization and/or training, not of breed.
craniusmaximus
Not only is the list more or less meaningless, but I am taking issue with the simple fact that it seems disproportionately unfair to American Pit Bull Terriers (a breed that already has to deal with myriad unfair stereotypes and regulations).
I mean, the BS "rankings" aside, my issue arises with the description following the ranking. All of the other dogs on the list have at least some positive attribute highlighted, but with the Pit Bull, not only are there no positive things listed, but the negative things are pretty dramatic (e.g. the mention of Pits tending to "fight only to kill").
This portrayal of the American Pit Bull Terrier, when read by the everyday reader, paints a VERY unfair picture of the Pit Bull. How about highlighting the fact that, over the generations when breeders were breeding the Pit Bull to fight, they excluded dogs that were even slightly aggressive to humans? As a result, while most Pits, when not properly socialized, might have issues with other dogs, they VERY VERY RARELY exhibit aggression towards humans (unless they were otherwise mistreated or raised in an impoverished environment - which normally leads all breeds to human aggression in one form or another).
Bottom line is that there are MANY positives about this breed of dog, so why not throw at least one of them in there to balance the picture a little bit?
For anecdotal purposes- my 65lb male Pit Bull "Bentley" is much nicer and submissive than my 15lb female Boston Terrier "Layla" (who is also very nice and non-aggressive). We got him from a pound a DAY before he was going to be euthanized and now, as I am typing this up, he is being humped by Layla WHILE he is eating. Per the sterotype of Pits, shouldn't I be worried about him biting Layla's head off?? That's weird, b/c not only is he not getting mad about being HUMPED WHILE EATING, but he isn't even skipping a beat - he's munching away, tail wagging, while being "dominated" during feeding time. He's a real killer, I tell ya! :-)

Congrats for the article.
It's true that the dog's upbringing has a lot of influence in his temper. But who controls the owners? How many of them know how to treat his dog well?
It's just stupid that people keep saying this. The upbringing can be a factor, but it isn't the only one. And certain breeds are naturally more violent that others (this combined with the dog's strength can be disastrous), which means those dogs need more training and attention.
BTW, I would add the Brazilian Mastiff (Fila brasileiro) to that list.
Anonymous
I'm not surprised to find a few of the commenters are up in arms about this list. I work with dogs everyday, all species, in a potentially frightening situation (the vet). Yes, these dogs do sometimes present with aggression problems. Do I run into far more chihuahuas willing to tear a finger off? Of course. But the fact of the matter is, you're far more likely to visit the emergency room after a 100lbs dog bites you, rather than a 6lbs dog.
This list has merit, it's an unbiased presentation of statistics. Not all pitts are mean, in fact most are very sweet happy dogs. But they are a little... predisposed to aggression.
VonWalsingham
" I work with dogs everyday, all species, in a potentially frightening situation (the vet)."
If you work at a veterinarian's office, then you should know that there is only one SPECIES of domesticated dog (Canis familiaris), but there are several different BREEDS of dogs.
Pit Bulls (one "t" not two) are not "predisposed" to aggression. Pit Bulls were never bred to be human aggressive.
jake122334
Well number one, Pitbull isnt even the correct term. Its American Pit Bull Terrier. Number two, APBT should range from 30-60 pounds. NOT 100. Number three, Labs can be bigger than APBT and there are much larger dogs out there... Why arent they number 1? Number 4, if anything they are predisposed to NOT be human aggressive, you DO know their history right? Yes as fighting dogs, but along with being bred for dog aggression, they were bred to NOT be human aggressive. Before a fight, you had to wash the opponents dog and he washed yours. To make sure the opponent didnt coat the dog with some kind of poison or something. Also you had to stay in the ring and handle your dog DURING the fight, there was also a ref in the ring. No one got bitten. If a dog bit a human it was considered worthless and was culled. In case you didnt know, culling means killing

There are no "dangerous dog breeds," just dangerous dog owners. (Inbreeding & maltreatment can produce psychosis in dogs, which can make individual animals dangerous.) Every generalization above is belied by actual experience. I know a pug, for example, who bosses around the neighbor's 140 lb pit bull.
Some dogs are larger and stronger than others and especially when badly raised / trained, those dogs can do real damage to other dogs or humans when provoked.
VonWalsingham
"I know a pug, for example, who bosses around the neighbor's 140 lb pit bull."
There is no such thing as a 140 lbs purebred Pit Bull.
mrpitbull
american pitbulls should be around the 50 kg mark what they are breeding now is american bullys with is a cross between american bulldog with a pitbull and than put a pitbull back over the bicth thats why see them weighting at around 70kg

There is no such thing as a dangerous breed. I have been around all kinds of dogs my whole life! I have never had a dog "turn" on me! I have two pits and they would lick you to death before they would ever bite you! I am a vet as well! I have had several pit bulls through out my life and only ignorant people think that a breed is the reason dogs are aggressive. Get real people! A dog is just like a person. Treat it right and it will protect you. Treat it wrong and it will bite you. Just like a human being. You raise a child wrong and that child will turn on you. Get the point?

while i agree that of course it depends upon the care taken by the dog's owner, it's total bullshit to deny that certain breeds are definitely more predisposed to be more aggressive and . I've worked in animal shelters where many of the dogs there were abused- but pitbulls and rottweilers and some of the others on this list were much more threatening and ready to fight than the other breeds. Get some sense, people!

If you were abused, how would you react? These dogs would need a firm hand to rehabilitate from the abuse. Go to badrap.org and read about Vick's former fighters who are more than happy to never fight again and be homebodies.

It true that you don't have bad breeds but bad dogs, because of their owners. When somebody trains their dog for dog fights he creates a aggresive killer, and a lot of the dogs trained to become that are pitbulls. But their isn't one breed mention, the Samurai, originally from China with body mass around 50 kg are only used for training for fights, becouse of their agresiveness towards any other dog, they don't usually attack people but they can't stand any other race of dogs.
And the dalmatians are originally from Dalmacia, a region in Croatia, along the Adriatic Sea, that was a part of Yugoslavia.

To the many comments regarding "there is no dangerous breed only bad owners":
Wake up people. If you genuinely believe this, you need to take some time and learn about the history of dogs and dog breeding. Dogs have been bred for specific purposes, in many cases to be large, powerful, tenacious, and aggressive.
Training is only one part of the equation.
Saying that certain dogs aren't more dangerous than other dogs is like saying that an automatic shotgun with a hair-trigger isn't more dangerous than a BB-gun. Which one would you buy for your child? Its the owner not the gun right? You can buy a BBgun and not worry about the fact that you know little about guns... the odds of it actually injuring you are low. Shotgun? A split-second's mistake and somebody is maimed for life.
I've encountered two dogs in my life that would have mauled me if they had the chance (completely unprovoked). Of course they had bad owners; people who bought large aggressive dogs and didn't subject them to rigid training to keep them in check. (Chow and Rottweiler). i.e. ignorant people who didn't understand dogs, much like people who say "its not the dog its the owner."
If these people had bought shih-tzus or english bulldogs, they still would have been stupid people and bad dog owners, but you know what? My life wouldn't have been in danger.

yeah. pitbulls are nice. all pitbulls are bloodthirsty demons who should be rounded up and shot in the head
mrpitbull
bloodthirsty demons well sounds to us your the bloodthirsty demon talking about shooting pits in the head l would love to no where you love so l could shoot you in the head you sound like a wanker dick head,its a sham you couin got maullad l wish itv was you
charmedgirl07
Anyone who goes around saying nonchalantly that we should go around and just start killing an entire breed for the actions of a small percentage of said breed is an idiot. When you think about, animals mostly attack or kill for two main reasons: either they feel threatened or it's for their survival. And I said "mostly", an animal that is mentally or physically sick is going to be more likely to lash out then a healthy one. And one that has been abused will be likely to see anything and everything as a threat. Humans will kill other humans over petty things things like money, greed, and jealousy. And then beat or kill animals just for fun. So which one is really worse?
I have a pitbull and she has been around dozens of children and has always gotten along with them. The ONLY time she has ever bitten someone was when one of my brother's asinie friends walked behind me and grabbed me, startling and scaring me. She heard me scream and bit his arm, and then instantly let go. It was a warning. A threat to me, her sole provider, the one who feeds, waters, and gives her shelter, was a threat to her survival. She has never once bitten anyone else, and she didn't even break his skin. In fact, when a guy came over to fix our satelite she kept trying to sit in his lap while he was working even though she had never seen him before! She is very friendly and loves everyone she first meets.
You can't go around saying that each and every dog in a breed is going to act the same way. That's like saying simply because one man kills another man without reason, that all humans by nature will do the same thing.
pitbulls_malamutes10
ignorant piece of shit, you know nothing about the breed obviously, and it's obvious you get YOUR information from the fuckin' media.

i dont know what ur saying bout dalmations but to be honist i can see why there on the list.my mum has kept dalmations since i was born 28 years ago so i feel i have right to comment haha.dalmations loving dopey dogs who will let kidds in its owm family do any thing to it.loyal and protective to its family.but a dalmation is also fierce n nasty when strangers approch its house.my mums dog has bite 2 people who kicked off in my mums house not deep enough to bleed but hard enough to stop the arguing.i would never enter some ones home if they had 1 sitting in the garden dalmations very unpredictable with strangers.they also need tonns of exersize iv now got a staff and the dalmation way quicker tempered n nastyer with other dogs haha.dalmations lush though they have fantastic coats.the film 101 dalmations have done them no favors they make out spotty dogs soft n easy n that is far from the truth.but i love them

Well, the whole thing is having a bit of common sense, why would I risk my children having around a dog that is believed to be more aggressive than the average of dogs, what is more important, my pride in owning a particular kind of dog or the safety of my family?

Yes that makes perfect sense. But it doesn't make sense that people say dogs, such as pit bulls, maneaters. Pit bulls are notorious for getting along with kids. They LOVE kids! BADRAP.ORG does a wonderful job at spreading the message. If you dont believe me, google "pit bull and kids." With any dog, small and big, there needs to be supervision. Kids can hurt little dogs and big dogs can accidently knock them over. Little dogs can get snappy when kids dont treat them right. Thats why its the parent's job to teach the kids how to properly be around dogs and to train the dogs how to behave around kids. Its group effort. Don't blame a dog for snapping when your kid pulls its tail, no sound dog will just snap. There's gotta be a reason.

Never leave any dog and kid on there own no matter how much you trust your pet.
On this site there cute pics of bully breeds with kids 99% of the time they will be fine' but it's that one per cent.
Take one example I kid drawing all over a dog you can see the pen marks going around it's eye.
Ok what if the pen went in the dogs eye' just like you and me it's just instinct to lash out and for that reason you need supervision at all time.

go fuck yourself corleone717, you're obviously part of the ignorant fucks club, just like the majority of this country's population, knowing nothing about the breed.

Are you saying I have no common snse? Just because their so called "Belived" to be mean doesn't mean that they are mean.
Theirs no such thing as a mean dog! It's the owners fault. If your
Going to get one of these breeds make sure you hav enough time to
Properly train them. And give lots of love and attenichin
Don't you do that to your kids?
