At #10 is the gigantic St Bernard. With only 7
fatalities in this study, it’s not surprising as St
Bernard’s were original bred as rescue dogs.
Adult males can measure about 30 inches tall
(75 cm) and weigh a whopping 155 pounds
(75 kgs), they have a very passive
temperament and are mostly a danger due to
their ma$$ive size as adults.

9. Great Dane

The great Danes are the 9th most dangerous
breed according to the study. With a total of 7
fatalities in the periods in between 1979-1998,
the Great Dane or German Mastiff is known to
be one of the largest breeds of dogs ever
domesticated. Although they have a low prey
drive (carnivorous animals feeding instinct),
they were initially bred for hunting animals.
Their immense size (with some adults
measuring up to at least 30 inches (76 cm))
makes them an obvious threat around children
and even adults.

8. Chow chow

Somewhat surprising due to their small frame
and stature, the Chow-Chow was reported to
have been responsible for 8 fatalities in the
journal’s study. With an average Chow-Chow
weighing about 60 pounds (28 kilograms) and
only growing as large as about 20 inches (52
centimeters) the Chow-Chow is unfortunately
known to have a very aggressive personality,
especially around strangers.
They are usually held as pets, and due to their
size they can be kept in apartments. The
danger rests when they lack exercise or are
just generally bored, and will sometimes lash
out at strangers and even owners due to
boredom.

7. Doberman

Known to be one of the most aggressive
breeds of dogs ever, the Doberman Pinscher
was one of the most recognizable dog breeds
as they were used extensively as guard dogs.
They were bred for the specific purpose of
guarding their masters, and thus had to be
aggressive but also intelligent.
Trained properly, these dogs can become very
loyal to their masters, but aggressive towards
perceived threats to their owners. Being
responsible for 9 fatalities, most of these were
notably in defense of their owners.

6. Malamute

Malamutes are commonly mistaken for another
dog further up on this list, the Husky, but have
many differences. They are quite large with
adult males weighing around 85 pounds (34
kilograms) and standing about 25 inches (62
centimeters), however are known to be more
pa$$ive due to their use as work dogs, pulling
sleds and helping with manual labour.
However, like the Great Dane their size makes
them unsafe around children or small animals
and the study found they were responsible for
12 deaths over the 20 year study period. Dog Hybrid
5. Wolf dog hybrid

Unsurprisingly Wolf-dog hybrids (Wolf X) are
known as the 5th most dangerous breed of
dogs. With 14 listed fatalities in this study.
Wolves themselves are ancestors of the
modern domestic dog, and are known as one
of the most dangerous predators in the wild
even today. Even with proper crossbreeding,
domestication, and training Wolf-dog hybrids
maintain much of the prey drive of their wolf
genetics making them quite dangerous to keep
as pets.

4. Husky

Huskies are one of the oldest breeds of dogs
thought to exist in the world. Like their
Malamute cousins they are used primarily as
sled dogs, and must be constantly active. With
a total of 15 fatalities linked to Huskies in the
study conducted, they are definitely known to
be aggressive, but this has been linked to poor
training/obedience issues as Huskies rate as
one of the most intelligent canines in the
world. Given their close relation to the grey
wolf however, they do maintain a somewhat
high prey drive.

3. German Shepard

Another commonly recognized dog makes this
list. German Shepherds are a fairly new breed
of dog, only dating from about 1885, where a
society in Germany worked towards creating a
perfect breed to protect herds in rural
communities. A fully grown adult German
Shepard can weigh 82 pounds (38 kilograms)
and stand at about 25 inches (62 centimeters),
about the same size as a Malamute.
Also like the Doberman, their high intelligence
and aggressiveness makes them sure picks as
guard and police dogs. With 17 fatalities
attributed to them, they are the third most
dangerous dog breeds.

2. Rottweiler

Coming in at #2, the Rottweiler was
responsible for 39 fatalities in this study.
Another very old breed the Rottweiler is one of
the oldest herding breeds in existence. As with
most old breeds, their prey drives require much
training to dampen.
Adult males have about the same dimensions
as the German Shepard, however they are
much heavier, with some being able to weigh
around 110 pounds (50 kilograms). Their
temperament is usually pa$$ive and attentive,
but are known to be prone to aggressive
outburst.

1. Pit bull

To anyone who knows dogs, the American Pit
Bull Terrier is no surprise at #1 on a list of
deadliest dogs. In this study the Pit Bull stood
far ahead of all the other breeds with 66
fatalities attributed to it. Known for their
extremely aggressive nature, many states have
legislation banning the breeding of pit bulls.
Furthermore they are known to be bred for the
highly illegal sport of dog fighting. Therefore,
it’s no real surprise that Pit Bulls are known
as the #1 deadliest dog based on bite
fatalities.

Yomieluv:
I know Rot would top the list.

Actually, pit bull tops the list.

nice write up













let me book this space now incase it makes it to the front page

smh does that look like an apbt?

Its strange that boerboels didn't make the list. They should be number 3.

When u wrote bite fatalities, I assumed u were talking of bite force and therefore ur list is wrong and faulty.
Bite force is directly proportional to the weight of the dog and a pit toping ur list na lie.
Rot is said to be 1st
And GSD is 2nd
Don't know the rest but a big CO or kangal can do worse bite than these 2

Upon further research, I'll give U the units
Turkish kangal- 743pounds
Mastif-556pounds
Rottweiler-328pounds
American bulldog- 305pounds
GSD- 238pounds
I skipped some that ae not common in 9ja like the wolf dog, african wild dog,etc
So Op get ur facts straight be4 posting

Ignorant list from lazy research.

OP you're learner.

If you want to know brutal a dog breed is, consider how many countries have ban it.

Now do your research and come back.

you assumed wrongly, bite fatality is not the same as bite force, it means number of actual dog bite attacks on humans involving these breeds, irrespective of Damage done,at least dats what I feel the op meant by that title...the only flaw I see in this post is that the op failed to tell us which country this research was conducted.
