Top 8 Most Dangerous Dogs in the World in 2016

Today, we are here with the top 10 list of the most aggressive and dangerous dogs. It will not be cool to tag a dog-breed as dangerous, but our factors are based on the number of accidents caused by them.
Below are the lists:

No 1: Pit Bulls

Pit bull weighs around 55 to 65 lbs. If you are someone, who is familiar with almost all the dog breeds, then I am sure, seeing a “Pit bull” in the list of “top 8 most dangerous dogs” must be a big surprise. Pit bull is the common name for a type of dog. Formal breeds often considered in North America to be of the pit bull type include the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The American Bulldog is also sometimes included. When compared to other dog breeds, death rates caused by Pit bulls are far higher, because they were initially bred as fighting dogs . Due to its aggressive nature, some state governments have even banned breeding of Pit bulls.

No 2: Rottweilers

Rottweilers weigh around 100 to 130 lbs and occupy second place in my list of “top 10 most dangerous dog breeds”. As a territorial animal, these can guard your home really well. Most owners of Rottweilers find them bit soft. But they can get aggressive if they are not trained right.

No 3: German Shepherds.

“German Shepherd” is a very intelligent and powerful animal. However, they are reported to be more dangerous too. That’s why it has raised them to 4^th in the list of top ten most dangerous dogs. These dogs can serve you loyal but when they are not treated well, they can be dangerous too.

No 4: Chow Chows

These dogs are very independent. However, when they are not bred with proper attention, they easily turn aggressive. As one of the top ten most dangerous dogs, it weighs around 70 lbs.

No 5: Wolf Hybrids

All dogs are descendants of wolves, but many of today’s dog species are still directly crossbred with these wild animals. Because of the inherent danger in breeding a wild animal with a domestic one, these dogs are often extremely skittish and unpredictable, to the point that many states have made it illegal to own a wolf hybrid. The CDC determined that wolf hybrids were responsible for the deaths of 14 people in the United States from 1979 to 1998.

No 6: Great Danes

Great Danes weigh around 200 pounds and are claimed to be unique dog breeds, capturing the attention of public wherever they go. These dogs weigh around 200 pounds. Since they are gigantic, you can imagine the kind of fear they can pose on an opponent. Even if you are fond of dogs, when you look at it suddenly, it can startle you. However, Great Danes must be trained with adequate exercises. On the other hand, if you fail to give the kind of attention it requires, it starts to rebel. Long walks are necessary for this dog breed.

No 7: Huskies

Although Huskies look puffy and soft, reports say that 15 people have died in the last 20 years because of them. Like the Malamute, the Husky is primarily known as a sled dog. Huskies are athletic and energetic dogs. Since these dogs are very energetic, they should be taken on regular walks. A well-trained Huskey will be very loyal to its family’s lives.

No 8: Alaskan Malamutes

Alaskan Malamutes weigh around 100 lbs and are very intelligent breeds. Just like Huskies, these are very energetic. However, when their energy is not used positively, they can turn aggressive.
