25 Most Dangerous Dog Breed In The World by mrbillz(m): 10:45pm On Apr 21, 2016 |
There are many factors that play a role when assigning a “danger” level to a dog but most critics and researchers disagree as to what these factors are. Consequently, it’s unfair to callously label a dog as dangerous. Nevertheless, it can’t be helped that some dog breeds have more potential to cause serious harm to a person if the dog were to decide to attack. Therefore, our 25 most dangerous dog breeds focuses on the potential of a dog to cause serious injury to a victim. It is important to note however that most dogs are bred with the desire to please their masters. Thus most incidents involving dogs stem from improper training and harsh ownership. Tosa Inu The Inu is a massive dog with some variations weighing anywhere between 130 to 200 lbs. and can reach heights of 24.5 to 32 inches. Originally bred to be a fighting dog, it is considered dangerous and legally restricted in some countries.

Rhodesian Ridgeback Rhodesian RidgebackOriginally from Southern Africa; this dog is known for its ability to keep lions away from prey while the dog’s master makes the kill.

Hey O.p, you forgot The Tibetan Mastiff The Tibetan Mastiff reflects its use as a guardian of herds, flocks, tents, villages , monasteries, and palaces. Males can reach heights up to 83 cm (33". Dogs bred in the West weigh between 45–72 kg (100-160 pounds). As a socialized, more domestic dog, it can thrive in a spacious, fenced yard with a canine companion, but it is generally not an appropriate dog for apartment living. The Western-bred dogs are generally more easy-going, although somewhat aloof with strangers coming to the home. Through hundreds of years of selective breeding for a protective flock and family guardian, the breed has been prized for being a nocturnal sentry, keeping would-be predators and intruders at bay, barking at sounds throughout the night. Leaving a Tibetan Mastiff outside all night with neighbors nearby is not recommended . They often sleep during the day, making them more active, alert and aware at night. Like all flock guardian breeds, they are intelligent and stubborn to a fault, so obedience training is recommended. Tibetan Mastiff are twice the size of those seen in India, with large heads and hairy bodies. They are powerful animals, and are said to be able to kill a tiger . During the day they are kept chained up, and are let loose at night to guard their masters' house. I really LOVE this dog. I'm gonna own one soon. 2 Likes
