Have you ever thought about what exists today? the most dangerous dog breeds in the world? After all, on the streets every day we see a variety of domestic and stray dogs, whose intentions are impossible to predict. It would be unfair to blame dogs of individual breeds for potential threat or aggression towards humans. But it just so happens that some of man's four-legged friends have great potential to cause serious harm to life or health. The Big Rating magazine brings to your attention the most dangerous and aggressive dog breeds in the TOP 10 rating.
Bull Terrier
The dangerous breed was developed by the British. Although the animal is small, it is agile and muscular. Bull Terriers rarely show open aggression, but have a highly developed hunting instinct. Therefore, dogs do not get along well with other pets and can even pose a danger to them.
This is an active dog, so it gets along well with children. But games should be supervised by adults, as the bull terrier will not hold back if he is teased. Careful training will help curb aggression and willful behavior.
In the absence of proper attention from the owner, the animal will become completely uncontrollable.
6. Caucasian Shepherd
- Origin of the breed:
Russia - Height (cm):
63-78 - Weight, kg):
40-90
How dangerous this dog is to humans can be judged just by looking at its size. It is for this reason that “Caucasians” are in the ranking of the most dangerous dog breeds for humans in the world. The height of an adult reaches 78 cm and weighs about 90 kg. They get along well with children, but it is advisable not to leave them unattended with them due to the size and strength of the dog. Smaller animals can also be comfortable being around them, especially if they have known each other since childhood. But the shepherd dog tries to immediately put large dogs in their place. This breed is very good at determining whether the owner or the protected object is in danger. The response in such cases should be immediate.
Pitbull
A fighting breed that was bred in the USA. He has a powerful muscular physique, a massive neck and chest, and a strong jaw. Pit bulls have a developed protective instinct. He will not show open aggression towards strangers, but at the slightest sign of danger he will protect his owner.
It is important to monitor the socialization of the dog. At a certain point in development, she will try to prove that she is the leader. It is necessary to demonstrate that the boss is the owner. Otherwise, the dog will behave viciously and aggressively towards strangers, other animals and will absolutely not obey commands.
Causes of dog aggression
Dog aggression can be caused by many factors:
- Mistakes when crossing animals. In cases where the breed and genetic characteristics of females and males are not taken into account, individuals with unpredictable behavior, including angry habits, are born.
- Poor care and improper maintenance of a pet. Lack of normal food, constant presence in an enclosure or on a leash provoke the appearance of aggression.
- Incorrect upbringing or lack thereof. Socialization and training of the pet must be carried out in a timely manner and using the correct methods. You should not be rude and cruel to the dog, but at the same time you should not allow cooing and connivance.
- Health problems. A fairly rare case, however, pain can also cause dangerous behavior towards people and animals in dogs of any breed.
- Lack of attention and affection from the owner.
Attention! The foundations of any dog’s behavior are laid in the first year of life, when the pet is raised.
Rottweiler
An intelligent service breed that was bred in Germany. Used for security, as well as in canine services. The animals are highly trainable, but are only suitable for experienced breeders as they require constant attention. With proper training and a calm environment in the family, they do not show aggression and will become excellent protectors.
Dogs left to their own devices are dangerous. In this case, they can be not only aggressive, but also cruel. First of all, in relation to other animals.
Puppies need to start training from an early age.
Jack Russell Terrier
Another aggressive representative of hunting dogs. The birds and small forest animals that he is intended to catch are well aware of his natural malice. When a dog finds prey, it does not attack it immediately, but waits for the best moment to grab it with its teeth and begin to torment it.
Almost all representatives of the terrier group cannot withstand rough treatment. They go berserk when someone suppresses their will or tries to harm them. No, it cannot be said that the Jack Russell Terrier has an unstable psyche.
With good upbringing, he grows up to be quite adequate and balanced. But, it is difficult to forgive insults and can bite if he is excited about something. Particularly intolerant of noisy strangers. He frankly doesn't like guests.
Caucasian Shepherd Dog (or Wolfhound)
The dog comes from the Caucasus. It is one of the largest, strongest and most dangerous. The physique is developed, and the reaction is lightning fast. Wolfhounds know how to sneak up and do not leave the victim a chance to escape.
Owning a Caucasian Shepherd is recommended only for owners of private houses. The animal was originally bred for protection and protection. It gets along well with all family members, but is wary of all strangers or other pets. No outsider will be able to gain his trust.
The puppy needs to be trained (quite strictly) from an early age so that he feels the strength of his owner.
American Staffordshire Terrier
The American Staffordshire Terrier is considered one of the most dangerous breeds. Due to its complete fearlessness and low sensitivity to pain, this dog is a formidable opponent. Once he attacks, it is almost impossible to stop him. Terriers were originally bred to protect their owners. And they perform this function to the fullest.

The animals look quite menacing and have a powerful body. They are unfriendly and even aggressive towards most people and other pets. They will only be affectionate towards the owner.
Strict training will help curb open expressions of anger.
Dogo Argentino
Very similar to the American Staffordshire Terrier, both in appearance and character. Weighs about 30-35 kg, grows up to 40-45 cm in height. Initially, the Dogo Argentino was bred to hunt large animals, puma, bear, wild boar, but then began to be used as an arena fighter.
This is a very strong dog that can defeat almost anyone in a fight. Characterized by aggression directed at strangers. Banned in almost all European countries, including England.
In some countries it is illegal to own aggressive Dogo Argentinos.
Alabai
One of the most ancient breeds, which appeared several thousand years ago. This is a very large and strong dog, whose main functions are considered to be protecting the home, as well as guarding animals (it was bred as a shepherd dog).
Alabai does not show aggression just like that. With family members he is calm, reserved and even proud. But strangers should not approach the animal unless the owner is nearby. An outburst of aggression may be unexpected.
Only proper training will help control the Alabai’s temper. Otherwise, it can be dangerous, including for family members.
Angry dog breeds
Angry dog breeds tend to act unfriendly and rude, display hostility and suspicion towards people and animals, trying to scare them by barking loudly or trying to fight. Malice is a quality that is not naturally characteristic of dogs, so its causes should be sought, first of all, in improper upbringing and lack of socialization of the pet. In rare cases, anger and aggressiveness are congenital defects of dogs, and such individuals are culled. A selection of the most evil dog breeds with names and photographs is based on “average” images of typical representatives. Many of them are fighting and guard breeds that must be able to fend for themselves and their owner’s property. Among the “evil dogs” there are also small decorative dogs that love to mischief and dream of dominating.
The most evil dog breed in the world is the American Pit Bull Terrier. Pit bulls were bred in England to participate in dog fighting, bull baiting and bear baiting. The pet has a high intelligence and is endlessly devoted to its owner, threats against whom will seriously anger the dog. Pit bulls grow up to be balanced and friendly pets, but without the love and attention of their owners, they can turn into real weapons. Today the breed is banned in many countries, including in its historical homeland. Only the South African Boerboel can share first place with the pit bull in the list of the most evil. Powerful and strong fighting dogs in South Africa were trusted to guard diamond mines. Animals selflessly defend the territory entrusted to them and will not miss the opportunity to bark at a stranger. Not every state allows you to own a Boerboel. As for Russia, both pit bulls and boerboels are included in the list of dangerous breeds and are subject to registration. To keep and walk such pets, you need to undergo special training, be over 18 years old and not have physical restrictions in terms of movement.
The top 10 most evil breeds included mainly large dogs: Caucasian Shepherd, Rottweiler, Fila Brasilien, as well as Argentinean, Great Dane and Canarian dogs. Large animals were originally bred for security or fighting purposes; moreover, they often strive to take the place of a leader, which is why they can show aggression.
You should not discount medium and small dogs, which are more likely than large dogs to bully their relatives and bite people. In breeds such as the Chinese Crested, English and American Cocker Spaniels, there are angry representatives with a capricious, quarrelsome character. A dachshund is considered a fairly aggressive dog, periodically trying to attack someone. The terrier group is also traditionally classified as “evil”. In addition to the Bull Terrier with its famous death grip, one can distinguish the Jack Russell Terrier and the Jagd Terrier. In the genes of these hunting breeds lies the instinct to pursue and attack game, even if it exceeds their own size. A phlegmatic good-natured person simply could not cope with such work.
South African Boerboel
The formidable dog has well-developed hunting instincts. It is also an excellent home protector. When approached by strangers, it will bark loudly and may attack. In Russia, there are known cases of Boerboels attacking people. And in some countries it is generally prohibited to keep them at home.
But with proper upbringing, the dog will not pose a danger to others. She will protect her owner to the last, but she can be taught to distinguish between friends and enemies. Timely socialization will help avoid outbursts of aggression or inappropriate behavior.
5. Siberian Husky
- Origin of the breed:
Russia - Height (cm):
50-60 - Weight, kg):
14-29
This breed is not suitable for shepherding or guard duty. For a long time they were used exclusively as traction force. When there was no snow, they were most often released to feed themselves. Therefore, they have a very highly developed hunting instinct. They can attack cats, chickens and other living creatures. In addition, they need constant physical activity in large volumes.
The dog is very friendly and, unlike service breeds, practically does not show aggression. Attempts to teach huskies to attack people usually lead to mental disturbances and make them potentially dangerous. Adding to the problem is that huskies love to leave their territory. They can learn to climb over fences, open doors, break windows, etc.
Dogo Canario
A strong and intelligent breed that can be unbalanced. It was bred in Italy and was originally intended to protect premises. In Europe, Dogo Canaries are often used to protect houses and government facilities.
This is one of the most aggressive dogs, but strict training helps to control its difficult character. Puppies begin to be raised from an early age. In this case, they do not show open hostility.
They attack strangers only in a situation where they threaten a person or property that the dog is protecting.
Doberman
The first representatives of the breed appeared in Germany at the end of the 19th century. Initially bred as service animals, intended solely to protect the owner. The Doberman has a muscular but lean build, excellent reaction, and develops good speed.
It is a fearless and energetic protector for the owner. But if raised incorrectly, it will pose a serious danger to others.
The breed is initially quite aggressive, so the dog must be constantly kept under control.
German dog
A very large animal, whose height sometimes exceeds 1 m. It was originally bred in Germany for hunting. The Great Dane has a large muscular torso and long legs. This is an excellent guard for all family members. He understands a person at a glance and in most cases has a balanced character.
However, with the wrong approach to education, a Great Dane can be extremely dangerous to others due to its size and strength. The breeder must have a lot of experience to be able to curb the dog’s character.
Socialization is necessary at an early age, otherwise as the dog grows older it will become aggressive towards other animals.
Tosa Inu
The breed was originally bred in Japan and was intended for dog fighting. In the land of the rising sun it is still legally used for fights. This dog is very loyal to its owner and is ready to do anything for him. Therefore, at the slightest sign of danger, it can attack a stranger. For Tosa Inu, it does not matter who to attack - another animal, an adult, a child.

Training plays an important role. Only an experienced breeder will cope with the function of education. The dog should feel that the owner is much stronger. In this case, she will be sincerely devoted to him and will obey him in everything.
Boxer
The German breed has been considered one of the most dangerous for several decades. This is due to numerous cases of attacks on people. Hardy animals are used for police service and also for security. These are energetic and freedom-loving dogs that can be willful.
Therefore, training plays an important role. From the first days of purchasing a puppy, it is necessary to let him understand that the boss in the house is the owner. You need to develop obedience, then unpleasant incidents will not happen. Boxers can become the best friends and playmates with children.

The list of the most dangerous dog breeds continues with German boxers, excellent guards, watchmen and companions. Due to their high intelligence, they are used to serve in the police and as guides for the blind. They are distinguished by endurance and balanced character. In the family circle, the pet is attentive to all members of the household, subtly senses their mood, loves children, and treats strangers with suspicion. Boxers love affection and often try to lie down on the bed to rest next to their owner. The breed has more advantages than disadvantages, is ideal for keeping in a family, and is suitable for inexperienced owners.
It is believed that the ancestors of boxers are a now extinct breed, which was called bulldogs. They were larger and more powerful than modern individuals, whose height is about 60 cm, weight 25-30 kg. Outwardly, the animal seems aggressive due to its deep, well-developed chest, wide and powerful muzzle, and muscular body. But this is a misleading idea.
The danger of a boxer lies not so much in character and behavior, but in genes passed down from ancestors who hunted wild boars and bears, and fought with bulls. The pet will certainly rush at a potential enemy if it feels danger to the owner. In addition, animals, due to the structure of their jaws, have a death grip.
Cane Corso
The muscular and powerful animal is a descendant of dogs that were used in gladiator fights. The Italian breed chooses one owner for life. His constant attention is important to her. Otherwise, the dog may become withdrawn and aggressive. And due to its impressive size and dimensions, it can pose a danger to other people and animals.
Discipline and consistency are important in parenting. But under no circumstances should you hit a Cane Corso. Otherwise, the dog may react with disobedience and aggression. Training begins at an early age.
German Shepherd
These are fearless and confident animals, which in most cases are used to protect private houses and other territories. Representatives of the breed have a well-developed instinct for protection. They get along well with family members, but are wary of strangers.
The shepherd becomes attached to its owner and may exhibit inappropriate behavior if it spends too little time with him. In addition, the sequence of training is of great importance.
The dog needs discipline so that aggression does not manifest itself and it does not start attacking people.
Rating of the most aggressive dogs in the world
So what is the most aggressive dog breed in the world? A rating of dogs whose behavior can become dangerous for the owner and surrounding people if the animal is not taken care of will help you figure this out. The top includes aggressive dog breeds, although many of them look harmless and even cute.
Dachshund
Many may be surprised to discover that aggression and dachshunds are related. At first glance, the breed is quite harmless. It's all about the so-called small dog syndrome that these animals suffer from. The pet tries to compensate for its small height with vicious behavior. Their hunting instinct is quite strong. Therefore, it is not worth keeping them together with small rodents. They can get along well with children only if the pet is trained and socialized from early childhood.
Chihuahua

Jack Russell Terrier
He is third on the list of the most aggressive breeds. The Jack Russell Terrier is energetic and must use it to the maximum every day. If this does not happen, the animal will be angry and dissatisfied. The small dog syndrome already described above also occurs.

You need to especially carefully monitor children who decide to play with your pet. One rough move and the Jack Russell Terrier will stop being friendly and sweet.
Giant Schnauzer

Therefore, it is important to educate and socialize a pit bull. At a certain age, he will have a desire to prove that he is the leader of the pack. Then the owner must show himself to be in charge. Otherwise, considering itself the leader, the pet will be extremely unfriendly towards others.
Rottweiler

But they are distinguished by cruelty and aggressiveness. Therefore, it is recommended that only experienced dog breeders own them. The pet needs constant attention. The environment around him should be calm and friendly. Otherwise, when a pet is left to its own devices, it becomes dangerous to surrounding people and animals. It is recommended to start training from puppyhood.
Caucasian Shepherd Dog
As the name of the breed suggests, this dog was bred in the Caucasus. It is large in size and has a strong, developed body. Differs in lightning-fast reaction.

Alabai
An ancient breed that was bred many thousands of years ago. The dog is distinguished by great strength and very large size. Originally bred to guard livestock and was a herding dog. He is also an excellent defender. It is important that the pet does not demonstrate angry behavior without a reason. But aggression can flare up suddenly. Therefore, strangers can only approach alabai if the owner is nearby. Without proper and timely training, it becomes dangerous even for its family.
South African Boerboel
In some countries it is prohibited to keep Boerboels at home. And the reason is the outbursts of aggression that can be observed in the dog. He is an excellent protector and hunter. If a stranger approaches him, the Boerboel first begins to bark loudly and then attacks. He is determined to protect his master to the last. But you can teach him from a young age to distinguish between those who do not pose a threat to him and his family.
Dogo Canario

Tosa Inu
The Japanese breed was bred to participate in dog fighting. Tosa Inu is still actively used for fighting in Japan, and it is absolutely legal.

German Shepherd

If he pays little attention to the pet, he may show inadequacy and anger. Needs constant discipline.

Wolfdog

This is a hybrid created by crossing a dog with a wolf. It is one of the most unbalanced breeds. Due to highly developed instincts, animals have difficulty mastering socialization. The behavior of the wolf-dog can be wild and unpredictable. Only a strong leader can cope with him. It is important that the animal recognizes the owner as a leader. A distinctive feature of hybrids is their developed intelligence, good muscles, large body and courage.
Brazilian Mastiff
Another mastiff joins the list of aggressive dogs. This one was bred in Brazil and its main feature is its impulsiveness. Brave, not afraid of anything and is a reliable defender of his territory. Strangers should not approach and pet the dog, because it will immediately attack due to its aggressive attitude towards strangers. The owner needs to curb the animal's complex temperament. Only in this case will the mastiff be affectionate and loyal. Even with high-quality training, it is not recommended to allow strangers, especially children, to the dog.
Pakistani bulldog

This bulldog initially appeared as a participant in fighting, which is why the desire to dominate, cruelty, and anger were firmly entrenched in his character. Instincts are quite strong, so it is difficult to control the animal’s temperament and behavior. Bulldogs are excellent guards, but they cannot be called affectionate and calm pets. Therefore, children should not be allowed near them.
Hungarian Kuvasz
Kuvasz originally appeared as a guard for livestock. The animal is large, and it was difficult for the shepherds to cope with their wayward character. Currently, such dogs are often chosen as service dogs. Aggressive traits can be suppressed in a pet with timely socialization and training.
Chow chow
Cute and fluffy dogs evoke affection in many people. It doesn’t even occur to people that in front of them is not a teddy bear, but an aggressive animal. It's all about heredity. In terms of genetics, chow chows are close to wolves, and therefore their instincts are well developed. Hostility manifests itself towards other animals and strangers. If the dog decides to attack, it will be extremely difficult to stop him.
Shar Pei
The breed is very rare and is even listed in the Guinness Book of Records. The Shar Pei's character is independent and domineering. He tries to demonstrate dominance and take a leading position in the family. In China, where dogs appeared, they took part in dog fights. They get along quite well with their family. Aggression can be shown towards strangers, especially children.
Most dogs show aggression due to the irresponsible attitude of their owners towards them. Even small dogs are capable of exhibiting inappropriate behavior if they are not cared for at the proper level. All of the listed aggressive breeds can be calm and affectionate pets if their owners raise them correctly.
Neapolitan Mastiff
The weight of this large breed reaches 90 kg. These are powerful and strong animals that were bred to participate in battles. However, the Mastiff has a balanced character and will not show aggression with balanced training. To avoid the problem of dominance, they need to be started from an early age.
The only danger is those dogs whose upbringing was not given due attention. Otherwise, this is a reliable protector who gets along well with adults, children and other pets. Mastiffs must be trained by someone with extensive experience, although they are intelligent dogs and are easy to train.

2. Rottweiler
- Origin of the breed:
Germany - Height (cm):
55-69 - Weight, kg):
41-50
Dogs of this breed can become a reliable friend and guard. But for this they need to be properly raised and trained. Even a tense atmosphere in the family can lead to increased aggression in them. Laziness combined with intelligence makes the process of training them a little difficult. They get along well with children and other dogs if raised together. But due to their large size, it is better not to leave them alone. Rottweilers should only be adopted at a young age, otherwise the habituation process can be problematic. It is failure to follow the rules when handling these dogs that leads to cases of attacks by them.
Wolfdog
It is considered one of the most unbalanced breeds. The hybrid was obtained by crossing an ordinary dog and a wolf. Therefore, he has highly developed animal instincts, and the process of socialization is difficult. Wolf dogs are unpredictable and need a strong leader. If the owner does not show sufficient determination, the dog may behave inappropriately and aggressively.
Hybrids are quite large, and also have developed intelligence and courage.
In the absence of proper training, they can pose a serious danger to others, especially due to the persistence of wolf instincts.
Brazilian Mastiff (Fila)
The dog was bred in the middle of the last century in Brazil. He has an unbalanced and impulsive disposition. This is a fearless and reliable defender, which is why it is used to protect private property and other territories. You cannot approach and pet the animal, as it shows serious aggression towards strangers.
The Brazilian Mastiff is unconditionally devoted to his owner, but only if he can curb his difficult temperament. Even with proper upbringing, strangers, especially unfamiliar children, should not be allowed near the dog.
Pakistani bulldog (gul-dong)
Another breed that was bred to participate in battles. The character is dominated by aggression, as well as the desire for dominance. It is difficult to control a dog, since it initially has strong instincts. Such animals are used for protection, but they cannot become loving and calm pets. For this reason, it is better not to leave children with a bulldog unattended.
Training should start at an early age. The breeder must constantly demonstrate strength and authority so that the dog does not become disobedient. He will still be extremely wary and even aggressive towards strangers.
Hungarian Kuvasz
The breed was bred in Hungary to guard livestock, so it has protective instincts. These are beautiful large animals that turned out to be too headstrong for shepherds. Therefore, today they are most often used for official purposes.
Dogs have a certain amount of aggression built into them. Bad character traits develop if you don’t start training your kuvasz in time and don’t take the time to socialize it. Training a dog is not easy because he will constantly strive to do everything his own way.
The owner must be firm and consistent. In this case, the Hungarian Kuvasz will turn out to be a very loyal pet.
Chow chow
Most often, people do not perceive representatives of this breed as potentially dangerous. And thus underestimate their aggression. These animals are genetically close to wolves, so they retain strong instincts. This is manifested by harsh behavior towards strangers, as well as other pets. It is almost impossible to stop a Chow Chow if it starts a fight.
If you control your dog and devote enough time to training, you can easily avoid aggression. However, the owner needs to constantly monitor the pet, especially when walking.
Conclusion: for the most part, a dog becomes angry due to improper upbringing, and even breeds not from this top can be aggressive. And don’t forget that any animal can be tamed!
1.American Pit Bull Terrier
- Origin of breed:
USA - Height (cm):
43-49 - Weight, kg):
20-30
The most dangerous dog breed in the world is the American Pit Bull Terrier. Dogs of this breed are prohibited in some countries. Even the name reflects its past. "Pit" refers to the fighting pits where dogs were forced to fight. The fate of the breed was in question after the ban on dog fighting. Therefore, breeders have made every effort to soften their character. But using pit bulls in areas where they will direct aggression towards humans is highly discouraged. Such a dog will eventually become dangerous to others. In other cases, pit bulls listen well to humans and learn quickly due to a combination of good intelligence and curiosity. The general dislike of this breed arose due to the media campaign after the ban on dog fighting, when any attack was widely reported.
