The complete list of dangerous dog breeds, approved by the State Duma and the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the new law this year with recommendations from the Union of Public Cynological Organizations - the Russian Cynological Federation, as well as the public organization “Union of Cynological Organizations of Russia” and the adopted negative experience of other countries, contains a total of 12 dangerous breeds dogs and their mixed breeds (According to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation from July 29, 2021 No. 974)
So, the list of potentially and especially dangerous dog breeds on the territory of the Russian Federation includes:
- Akbash;
- American Bandog
- ambuldog
- brazilian bulldog
- Bully Kutta
- Alapaha purebred bulldog (Otto)
- bandog
- wolf-dog hybrids
- wolfdog, wolf hybrid
- ghoul dog
- pitbull mastiff
- North Caucasian dog
- mixed breeds of these dogs
It was these breeds of dogs that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, which created the draft resolution, considered to be carriers of genetically determined character traits, such as aggression and physical strength, and personifying a potential danger to the life and physical health of people
Among them there are dogs bred for baiting, in which selection for the owner’s feelings was not implied, as a result of which their behavior is not completely predictable
Please note that the original version of the list of dangerous dog breeds included many more species - 69, however, at the end of May 2019, the ministry revised the draft list, reducing it to 13 positions
We will look at the 11 main most dangerous dog breeds

County ban
The Russian government has approved a list of potentially dangerous dogs
Laws restricting the breeding of dogs of aggressive breeds have been adopted in 52 countries around the world. These laws are different from direct bans on owning, breeding and importing dogs into the country. There is no federal law in the United States prohibiting the breeding of dangerous breeds of dogs, but 37 states have various restrictions. Rules regarding which breeds are considered aggressive and what measures to take against dogs and their owners are imposed by a specific county or city. Responsibility for owners who violate the law also varies. For example, in Miami-Dade County, there is a $500 fine for owning an illegal breed of dog without registration, and the county court will also order the animal to be removed from the county.
Most of the laws relate to the ownership of pit bulls. However, there are legal documents covering other breeds as well. The New York City Housing Authority, which is not a legislative body, prohibits homeowners from keeping pit bull terriers, Cane Corsos, Shar Peis, mastiffs and fighting dogs.
In addition to legislative bodies, there are public organizations in America that advocate for the bans to be expanded. The nonprofit organization Dogsbite.org provides legal assistance to citizens affected by dog attacks and consistently advocates for a ban on pit bull breeding throughout the United States, mandatory sterilization of aggressive dog breeds, and liability insurance for owners. Among the proposals of social activists there is also a ban on the ownership of fighting dogs for persons serving sentences. This is primarily due to the fact that pit bulls are considered the favorite breed of drug dealers, who are also used for dog fighting.

Dog law: why the state does not protect Russians from stray dogs
19 years later, Russia finally adopted a law on the protection of animals, including stray animals. He did not solve old problems and created new ones
NGO founder Colleen Lin decided to fight for stricter laws on the ownership of dangerous breeds of dogs after she was bitten by a pit bull. She spent two days in the hospital, where she underwent surgery to restore the bone. The organization’s website keeps its own statistics, collecting data on attacks from open sources. According to NGOs, over the past 14 years, 471 Americans have died due to dog attacks. Moreover, 76% of them were carried out by dogs of fighting breeds. Most often, people were attacked by pit bulls, Rottweilers and German shepherds. But the top ten breeds prone to attacking people also included huskies and Labradors, which are generally characterized as friendly and sociable dogs.
Against the background of public campaigns calling for a ban on the breeding of pit bulls, another one has appeared in America - in their defense. The American Pit Bull Foundation advocates for raising awareness among owners about how to raise and house dogs properly. According to the association, approximately 3.5 million pit bulls are euthanized in America every year. The organization does not adopt dogs, with rare exceptions: they give away puppies, charging future owners a fee for vaccinations, microchipping and sterilization.

List of potentially dangerous dogs
Updated July 30, 2021
Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 29, 2019 N 974 “On approval of the list of potentially dangerous dogs”The list includes 12 breeds of dogs, as well as their mestizos, that have genetically determined qualities of aggression and strength, posing a potential danger to the life and health of people.
According to the Federal Law of December 27, 2021 N 498-FZ “On the Responsible Treatment of Animals and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation”, from January 1, 2021, it is prohibited to walk potentially dangerous dogs without a muzzle and a leash, regardless of the place of walking , with the exception of cases if such dogs are in a fenced area belonging to their owner.
At the same time, a warning sign must be made at the entrance to the territory about the presence of a potentially dangerous dog.
Paragraph 10 of Article 3 of the Federal Law of December 27, 2021 N 498-FZ “On the Responsible Treatment of Animals and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation” determines that potentially dangerous dogs are dogs of certain breeds, their hybrids and other dogs, representing a potential danger to human life and health and included in the list of potentially dangerous dogs approved by the Government of the Russian Federation.
According to Part 6 of Article 13 of the said Federal Law N 498-FZ, walking potentially dangerous dogs without a muzzle and a leash, regardless of the place of walking, is prohibited, except in cases where the potentially dangerous dog is located in a fenced area belonging to the owner of the potentially dangerous dog on the right of ownership or other legal basis. A warning sign about the presence of this dog must be made at the entrance to this territory.
In this regard, the proposed list of potentially dangerous dogs is based on proposals received from federal executive authorities, as well as the Russian Canine Federation, taking into account Article 1 of the Model Law on the Treatment of Animals, adopted at the twenty-ninth plenary meeting of the Interparliamentary Assembly of the CIS Member States (Resolution No. 29-17 of October 31, 2007), and its annexes include dog breeds with genetically determined qualities of aggression and strength, as well as breeds used for bullying, and aboriginal breeds in which selection for loyalty to humans was not carried out , and therefore the features of their behavior remain not fully studied by canine science.

In some cases, the owner faces not only administrative penalties, but also criminal liability.
Previous list: Document file in original
Everyone has already heard about the draft Resolution “On approval of the List of Potentially Dangerous Dogs”. You can read it in detail at the link above; the document itself was published on March 7, 2021 on the Federal Portal of Draft Regulatory Legal Acts.
About the fact that the list of potentially dangerous dogs includes breeds with both an erroneous spelling of the name, for example “Gul Dog”, and with a double spelling - erroneous and correct, for example “Akabash” and “Akbash”, and even non-existent ones (“Dobermann by Vladek Roshina ", "Daufman's Shepherd Dog", "Superdog") - the mistakes made were quite in the spirit of Russian officials.
Let's talk about more pressing issues, namely:
At what age should a “potentially dangerous dog” be muzzled?
Not a word is said about this either in the draft Resolution or in the explanatory note to it.
The puppy has been vaccinated, the quarantine has been completed - you can go for walks with him. Should we put the muzzle on right away? - so that the walk would not seem like “honey”, and the puppy hated walks, because they stuck such a nasty thing on his face.
New dog owners will have a “problem”: the puppy must be accustomed to the street so that he gets used to doing all his business there, and at the same time accustom him to a muzzle, since this will become a mandatory attribute of a walk.
Where can “potentially dangerous dogs” be walked without a muzzle?
Apparently - nowhere. The explanatory note to the draft Resolution states:
...walking potentially dangerous dogs without a muzzle and a leash, regardless of the place of walking, is prohibited, except in cases where the potentially dangerous dog is located in a fenced area owned by the owner of the potentially dangerous dog by right of ownership or other legal basis. A warning sign about the presence of this dog must be made at the entrance to this territory.
If you do not have territory next to your house or in the immediate vicinity of it that belongs to you by right of ownership, you should walk your dog through life in a muzzle and on a leash.
Specialized dog walking areas? - Maybe. But where are they? Do they exist at all, and if so, in what condition? - no sane dog owner will walk his pet on the site if it is located next to a landfill, landfill or some other “attractive” object.
How many dog-walking places should there be in a city of millions?
There are no answers to these questions. But there are a couple of very beautiful proposals:
The implementation of the solutions proposed by the draft resolution will not cause negative socio-economic, financial and other consequences.
...The adoption of the draft resolution will not require additional expenses from the federal budget.
Conclusion: all expenses will fall on the shoulders of dog owners - after all, they will either have to change their place of residence, from the city to the suburbs, or purchase/rent some territory in the city so that their “potentially dangerous” pet can walk there, just walk, and not walk nearby on a leash and muzzle.
Which mestizos/hybrids require a muzzle?
This is perhaps the most difficult question. The draft says briefly:
How is a hybrid different from a mestizo? - by and large, nothing: in both cases, it is an animal obtained from crossing representatives of different breeds.
If the dog is of noble origin, and the owner does not even know what is mixed in its genes? - yes, it’s a shepherd dog, but in what tribe was this very shepherd dog? If the dog's phenotype is shepherd, but its genotype is only 25% shepherd - is it necessary to put a muzzle on it?
“Misunderstandings” with the origin are not so bad. The main problem is how to prove to people who are far from cynology that a “nobleman” can walk without a muzzle, since he is a Malinois mix (this breed, by the way, is not on the list), and not a German shepherd? Will a veterinary passport be enough or will a pedigree be required? - so the “nobles” have no pedigree.
To these three questions - at what age will a dog need to be muzzled? where can they be walked without a muzzle? and which mestizos/hybrids will need a muzzle? - No answer.

How are things going in Russia?
In Russia, none of the existing breeds are prohibited. However, there is a list of potentially dangerous ones, which was introduced in 2011. These dogs are subject to a number of restrictions. For example, they cannot be walked without a muzzle or let off a leash in public places.
Many citizens want the authorities to increase liability and introduce penalties for the improper keeping of dogs recognized as dangerous. Legislators quickly responded and wrote a draft law “On the Responsible Treatment of Animals.” True, this normative act has not yet passed the second reading, although it was originally planned that it would come into force in July 2017.
T
So what is meant by the term “potentially dangerous”? It is understood that such dogs will need to be registered in the future. However, not every person will receive the right to keep them or sell and breed them.
A similar practice exists in many countries where they believe that it is inappropriate to ban any breed, but freedom of ownership must be limited.
Today the following are considered dangerous in the Russian Federation:
- American Pit Bull Terrier;
- South African Boerboel;
- Karelian bear dog;
- Anatolian karabash;
- Staffordshire Terrier (American);
- alabaya;
- Caucasian Shepherd Dog;
- mixed breeds of all the above breeds.
As practice shows, our citizens mostly ignore the restrictions introduced.

As a result, we now have a list of potentially dangerous breeds of 12 points:
- Akbash;
- American Bandog;
- ambuldog;
- Brazilian Bulldog;
- bulli kutta;
- Alapaha purebred bulldog;
- bandog;
- wolf-dog hybrids;
- gul dog;
- Pit Bull Mastiff;
- North Caucasian dogs;
- mestizos and hybrids of these breeds.
“This list is our victory, since it includes breeds that are indigenous and whose population in our country is negligible. And selection for loyalty to humans was simply not carried out. None of the existing and recognized RKF breeds has genetically determined aggression towards humans. Do not confuse this with distrust of a person. This trait is needed especially for service, guard and guard dogs. Aggression towards a person is possible only on command or in a certain situation, that is, this characteristic is determined by the dog’s training. If we talk about the breeds from the list, for example, wolf-dogs, then aggression towards humans for an inexplicable reason is quite possible, since these animals do not have enough generations to correct this trait. Yes, these dogs have some amazing qualities at the genetic level, such as super sense of smell. But in relationships with humans, the “wolf” half predominates.

In Canada, legislation regarding the breeding and keeping of potentially dangerous dog breeds is even stricter than in the United States. Restrictions are in effect in at least 250 Canadian communities. In 2021, Montreal passed a complete ban on pit bulls. The document was signed after a dog killed a 55-year-old woman. Those who already owned dogs of this breed when the law came into force had to obtain special permission from the authorities and complete the paperwork within six months. In the province of Quebec itself, similar measures have been taken in 90 cities.
Owners who have registered their pets are instructed to always walk with the animal in a muzzle and on a short leash. You can let your dog off the leash only in an area enclosed by a fence higher than 2 m. In Ontario, a total ban on pit bulls has been in effect since 2005. Moreover, it even includes transporting dogs through this province.
The UK authorities distinguish the degree of potential danger of a dog not by breed, but by group. That is, not only dogs of the four specified breeds may be banned, but also those that have similar characteristics.

Animal psychologist reveals the reason for the potential danger of dogs
Members of the UK Parliament, however, are not so unanimous about the law on dangerous dogs, adopted back in 1991. According to the chairman of the government committee on ecology, food industry and agriculture, Neil Parish, the adopted law leads to the killing of hundreds of dogs that do not pose a threat to humans, while the problem of attacks in general is not solved. According to data cited by the MP, the number of incidents involving dogs has increased by 81% since 2005.
“Existing laws and breed bans have not stopped the rising tide of injuries and deaths from dog attacks. Children and adults suffer horrific injuries, many of which are preventable. This is unacceptable,” Parish told The Independent. “The public must be protected and we are therefore calling for a full-scale review of existing dog control strategies.”
By law, shelters are not allowed to keep dogs on the prohibited list. If such a dog gets lost and the owner cannot be found, it will be forced to be euthanized, regardless of whether it shows aggression or not.

How to avoid becoming a victim of a rabid animal and not dying from a bite
You can only obtain permission to own a dog from the list of potentially dangerous breeds with the permission of the court. In public places, the dog must always be muzzled and on a leash. The owner is required to register the animal and pay insurance premiums, as well as get the pet tattooed, microchipped and sterilized. For breeds such as the Japanese Akita Inu, stricter walking and registration rules apply. Despite their photogenic, cute appearance, these dogs have a peculiar temperament and reaction to aggression, which cannot be controlled without proper training. By the way, the breeding of dogs like those in the film “Hachiko” is strictly limited in four other countries around the world. Over the past year, at least seven cases of attacks by these dogs on people have been recorded.

How the walking rules have changed
Owners of dangerous breeds will have to increase their responsibility for keeping and walking their pets. But no strict prohibitions or significant changes are implied, in contrast to the rather strict laws on the same topic that are in force in many other countries.
What owners should consider
From January 2021, when the regulatory amendment comes into force, it will be possible to take a dog of any of the listed breeds for a walk only on a leash and wearing a muzzle. The ammunition must be reliable and durable so as not to break in an extreme situation. This simple measure involves reducing the number of conflicts and injuries to both people and dogs, which often occurs during walking.
Only with a muzzle and a leash - otherwise you cannot leave the house with a dog on the list
Without protective equipment, a dog can only be behind a high fence on the private property of its owner, and there must be a clearly visible sign on the gate or gate warning that there is a dangerous dog on the territory.

It is forbidden to walk without a leash and muzzle
The legislative framework
The full list of dangerous dog breeds in Russia is approved by the State Duma and the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to a new legal act this year. When compiling lists and legislative acts, much attention was paid to studying the negative experience of European and American states; as a result, 12 dangerous dog breeds were identified.
The Russian government has approved a list of potentially dangerous dog breeds, simultaneously enshrining this fact in the Resolution of July 29, 2019 (No. 974). Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree that does not allow dogs to be walked without a leash and muzzle.
Free walking is allowed only if pets are on the territory that belongs to their owner.
