Among 400 breeds of dogs, animals characterized by severe temper, incredulity, and aggressiveness deserve special attention. These pets should only be brought up by experienced dog handlers who are knowledgeable in training matters.
In inept hands, the most dangerous dogs can turn into uncontrollable weapons that can harm not only others, but also their owners.
Fifth place - bull terrier
Bull terriers are on the list of the most dangerous dogs due to their past. The breed was bred in the middle of the XIX century by crossing the English Bulldog, Dalmatian and White Terrier. As a result, dogs were born, distinguished by a muscular strong body (height at the withers - 40–55 cm), a powerful neck, elongated head with jaws capable of competing with a steel trap. From their ancestors, the bull terriers inherited the best character traits, but the breeders wanted first of all to get an animal with a high level of pain threshold, ideal for fierce dog fights.
Today, dog handlers around the world are working to improve the breedby sterilizing evil, aggressive individuals. Having almost lost fighting instincts, modern bull terriers retained the unusual endurance, courage and activity inherent in the first representatives of the breed. White dogs with wide breasts are distinguished by high intelligence, energy, devotion and friendliness.They adore the host family, but intolerant of strangers, aggressive towards other pets.
Fourth place - Caucasian Shepherd Dog
The ancient breed of dogs, bred in the vastness of the Caucasus, has one purpose - the protection of human housing, the protection of herds of sheep from attack by wild animals. Huge, strong shaggy dogs, whose height at the withers reaches 75 cm and body weight - 110 kg, are characterized by a well-developed reaction, suspicion, and hostility to strangers. Independent character manifests itself in puppyhood. Independent Caucasians are not inclined to unquestioningly follow directions. Getting into a new home, three-month-old babies often choose their own owner. The owner's task is to discern the signs of dominance in time and show who is the leader of the pack.
The Caucasian Shepherd Dog is a dog for an experienced dog handler familiar with the nuances of the character of a four-legged pupil. Being ideal watchmen, representatives of the breed are distrustful of strangers. If the dog decides that his master is in danger, he will attack the alleged enemy without the owner’s command. Therefore, pet training should be based on three pillars - early socialization, excluding the manifestation of aggression, discipline and the absence of physical punishment.
Third place - Rottweiler
In 74 BC e. Ancient Roman troops crossing the Alps with the goal of conquering Europe brought powerful, hardy dogs to the northern territories. The task of the four-legged accompanying legionaries was the protection of property.In addition, armored dogs always followed the attacking warriors. The blood of those formidable animals who prefer death to retreat is poured in modern Rottweilers, bred at the end of the 18th century in Germany (the city of Rottweil). Representatives of the breed are respected by an independent disposition, strong character and fearlessness.
Large animals with a strong skeleton, the height at the withers of which varies from 56 to 68 cm, and body weight - 42–50 kg, belong to the moloss family. The Germans say: "Raised a Rottweiler worthy of respect." Dogs have a high level of intelligence,tend to make decisions independentlyTherefore, the future owner must have experience in training. In inept hands, pets turn into aggressive dogs that can cause significant harm to humans. The compression force of the jaws of the Rottweiler reaches 146 kg per cm2.
Second place - fila brasileiro
A unique breed in which disease resistance is established at the genetic level. Gigantic creatures with a heavy head, reaching 75 cm at the withers, weighing 45–65 kg, appeared in the 15th century, when Portuguese colonialists discovered the coast of South America. The result of the crossing of mastiffs, bloodhounds and Old English bulldogs became ferocious dogs, designed to capture runaway slaves. Four-legged strongmen also helped in hunting, protecting livestock - adult animals emerged victorious in battles with jaguars and cougars.
Dog handlers still rank fila as the most dangerous dogs. They can't stand the touch of others - Even the judges at the shows do not approach the representatives of this breed. Frequent cases of unmotivated aggression have led to the fact that in Israel, England, Norway, New Zealand, Denmark and Cyprus the content of the Brazilian mastiff is prohibited. Distrustful of those around him, the fila is faithful to the owner and his relatives without a trace. However, you should not start such a dog for families with children - active games, the familiarity of the younger generation, the dog can take for an attack and respond with an immediate attack.
The most dangerous breed of dogs in the world
The most dangerous breed of dogs in the world is the American pit bull terrier.. Even the appearance of dogs, ranking first in the ranking of the most dangerous dogs, often causes fear. A wide square head with strong jaws, a powerful neck, a deep rib cage, a stocky muscular body (height at the withers - 43–53 cm, weight - 14–30 kg) and strong legs give these dogs excellent fighters. Creating a breed, English breeders sought to get evil creatures that can fight an angry bear or bull. Winners of battles, pit bulls instinctively choose vital places on the enemy’s body to attack.
The lack of training turns American pit bulls into ferocious monsters. Insensitive to pain, they fearlessly attack animals that are larger than them. Although the efforts of breeders are currently aimed at eradicating aggressiveness in dogs, attacks on humans are still recorded.However, do not forget that the American pit bull terrier, brought up by a skilled dog breeder, is an example of stable behavior, good nature and devotion.
Although representatives of the Bull Terrier, Caucasian Shepherd, Rottweiler, Fila Brasileiro and American Pit Bull Terrier are considered the most dangerous dogs, it would be unfair to attribute to these animals only aggressive traits. Future owners should not forget that the behavior of an adult dog depends on the proper upbringing of the pet. The dog’s lack of training experience and the wrong approach can turn a puppy of any breed into an uncontrollable tyrant or an evil monster.
