The most dangerous dog breeds

10. Labrador

The number of deaths in the reporting period is 3.
There were 45 injuries caused by the attack.

Our rating of the most dangerous breeds of dogs is revealed by Labradors, which are little associated with the threat. This is a companion, guide, best friend of children, but it is very difficult to imagine a Labrador attacking a person. However, according to a study by Animal Friends, Labradors often attacked postmen and couriers. They considered the stranger entering the house a threat to the "flock." At the same time, male postmen were bitten by Labradors more often than women. In the summer, when children and dogs spend a lot of time outdoors, attacks increased by 10%. There is only one way out for the postmen: to bribe the four-legged guards with refreshments and make friends with them.

Fans of the breed will be pleased to know that with proper training, the retriever will become the kindest dog.

9. Chow Chow

Deaths - 8.
Mutilation - 40.

The breed appeared in Mongolia thousands of years ago, and then was brought to China. In the photo, these fluffy “dog dogs” with a blue tongue, because of which they got the nickname “dogs licking the sky,” look extremely attractive. Unfortunately, Chow Chows are very aggressive towards strangers.

Chow Chows sometimes attack outsiders and even hosts when they lack exercise or are just bored.

8. German boxer

Deaths - 7.
Mutilation - 31.

The German boxer can be described as very intelligent, loyal and harmless to its owner and family members, but these dogs are extremely distrustful and suspicious of strangers.

7. Akita Inu

Deaths - 8.
Mutilation - 52.

Hachiko, of course, is the most loyal friend, but Akita Inu may not be treated as friendly as strangers to strangers. These cute looking Japanese dogs were originally bred for hunting. Also, at one time they were used for dog fights. Akita Inu are very territorial animals and should not live with another Akita Inu of the same gender so that there are no fights. The dog can also attack a stranger who enters the protected area, and given the size (up to 70 cm at the withers) and weight (up to 45 kg) of the animal, the attack can end fatally.

6. Siberian Husky

Deaths - 26.
Mutilation - 27.

Husky is believed to be one of the oldest dog breeds that exists in the world. Like their fellow Malamutes, they are used mainly as sled dogs, and must be constantly active. These photogenic, smart and beautiful dogs are usually loyal and human friendly. But with poor training or lack thereof, they show signs of aggressive behavior and can attack children and small animals. According to a study from 1982-2014, out of 83 attacks by a husky on a person, 51 were committed against children.

5. Wolf hybrids

Deaths - 19.
Mutilation - 49.

In fifth place on our list was a breed that appeared as a result of a cross between a dog and a wolf. Wolves are the ancestors of modern domestic dogs, and are known as one of the most dangerous predators in the wild.

Even with the right breeding, taming and training, wolf hybrids retain most of their wolf instincts, which makes them very dangerous when kept as pets. Wolfhounds are the most evil dogs, if their socialization is left to chance. Due to their cunning and strength, they are dangerous not only for other people, but also for their own owners.

4. Canary Great Dane

Deaths - 18.
Mutilation - 63.

These massive dogs with powerful limbs were first used in Spain for the protection of livestock and as home watchmen. They are very independent, stubborn and spiteful towards strangers, which makes them not only an ideal guard for family property, but also an obvious threat in the hands of a weak or mentally unstable person.

3. German shepherd

Deaths - 15.
Mutilation - 73.

The German Shepherd Dog is a fairly new breed of dog, the history of which dates back to the 19th century, when the German Shepherd Dog Club in Germany worked to create the perfect breed to protect the herd in rural communities. An adult German shepherd can weigh 40 kg and reach 62 cm at the withers, which is approximately comparable to the size of a malamute.

High intelligence and aggressiveness makes German Shepherds one of the best guard dogs and police dogs. And 15 fatal attacks lead them to third place in the top 10 most dangerous dogs in the world.

2. Rottweiler

Deaths - 85.
Mutilation - 296.

Rottweiler - one of the most powerful dogs in the world, having a developed protective instinct. Adult males are about the same size as a German shepherd, but they are much heavier, some of which weigh about 50 kg. Bitches are slightly smaller - weigh up to 42 kg.

Most Rottweilers tend to show dangerous behavior due to irresponsible host behavior, lack of socialization and training. Rottweiler is known for its extremely powerful bite.

1. American Pit Bull Terrier

Deaths - 295.
Mutilation - 2110.

Remember, the pit bull terrier is the most dangerous dog with a strong jaw. If you are looking for a dog that will protect your property from thieves without sparing the stomach, it is better not to find an American pit bull terrier.

He is powerful, hardy, brave and aggressive. But without proper training, the pit bull is the most evil dog in the world. These dogs need extensive and regular training in order to curb their aggression. Pit bull terriers can attack children, even if they are not provoked. This is absolutely not the breed that an inexperienced dog lover should get.

The official list of potentially dangerous dogs in Russia

Approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation on July 29, 2019 No. 974

  1. Akbash
  2. American bandog
  3. Ambuldog
  4. Brazilian Bulldog
  5. Bullie kutta
  6. Alapakh bulldog purebred (otto)
  7. Bandog
  8. Wolf Dog Hybrids
  9. Wolfhound, wolf hybrid
  10. Ghoul dog
  11. Pit bullmastiff
  12. North Caucasian dog
  13. Mestizo dogs specified in paragraphs 1 - 12 of this list.

The fact that a dog of any breed has attacked a person does not mean that it is necessary to condemn the breed as a whole. Each dog has a unique character and is formed under the influence of the environment in which it grows.

Even a small but ill-bred chihuahua becomes a real monster and can attack other people and animals, thinking that it protects its territory or its owner. Therefore, objectively, the worst breed of dogs or the kindest breed of dogs does not exist. There are only breeds that require increased attention and need experienced and knowing how to properly train their dog owners.
