Dogs are the third most dangerous animals to humans. Dogs are responsible for 30,000 deaths annually, with most of these deaths from rabies disease from the dog. Here is the ranking of the most dangerous dog breeds in the world. Nevertheless, it is essential to remember that these generalities do not reveal the specific character of each dog of these breeds.
1-American Pit Bull Terrier
When we talk about “dangerous dogs,” the Pitbull is the first breed that comes to mind. This is due to his image as a fighting dog of yesteryear. Although its bites are not frequent, they often have dramatic consequences. Often exaggerated, the power of the jaw of this mountain of muscles is still 17 kg / cm²! Which is barely two and a half times less than that of the shark (42 kg/cm²). The Pitbull must be muzzled and leashed whenever he goes out in public.
2-Rottweiler
Second most dangerous dogs worldwide. Originally from Germany, he is distinguished by his tenacity, courage, and protective instinct. It is also an exceptional watchdog, intelligent and devoted to its master. He does not like to be dominated, so if this desire for domination is not contained through proper education, it may cause damage.
3-German Shepherd
The German Shepherd is an ancient shepherd dog. This dog can develop incredible power and requires constant attention. It is a loyal, obedient, vigilant dog with a remarkable protective instinct. It is a police dog, a tracker, and an excellent guard dog. He can bite when he senses danger or wants to protect his master or territory. He is straightforward to train and will do anything to protect his home.
4-American bulldog
The American Bulldog is very muscular and has a heavy build. He weighs between 60 and 120 pounds and has quite a bit of power behind his muscular body. Bulldogs can cause harm to people if they aren’t trained properly. American Bulldog will take fifth place in our most dangerous dogs list.
5-Mastiff/bullmastiff
The bullmastiff is a cross between a bulldog and a mastiff. A bull mastiff is a large dog with more than 100 pounds and is more than two feet tall at the shoulder. People don’t like the sight of bullmastiffs. This dog is bred to protect its territory, so owners must always be cautious when introducing strangers to their bullmastiff. Bullmastiffs that are not used to being with their people can be dangerous.
6-Siberian Husky
The husky is a dog that needs to live in a community. The famous wolf dog is adept at the great outdoors, where he can run. And it must not be deprived. However, loneliness is very poorly tolerated in this dog which can quickly become unstable. It is also a dog that must be educated as soon as possible (minimum before six months) to impregnate the latter with an adapted education.
7-Labrador
Generally of a gentle and calm nature if they have been educated correctly. It is an easy learning breed. Of course, the dog must be educated and live in a healthy environment. Sometimes Labradors have spikes in aggression and can bite. These flare-ups may be related to a problem of showing who the master is.
8-Boxer
The boxer is a powerful dog. Famous for its power and athletic build, the fighter is also a protective dog. Very attached to its owner, it tolerates loneliness and every difficulty. Indeed, it is a dog that loves to play and do activities with its master. Like most of its congeners, the boxer is not one of the most dangerous dog breeds because it is not inherently evil. His dangerousness is more clumsiness than the latter could have while playing, by an excess of excitement and vivacity.
9-Doberman Pinscher
Number 9 on our most dangerous dogs list. The Dobermann Pinscher is the police dog of yesteryear. It is a loyal, affectionate, and protective animal. Known for its bravery, the Dobermann can be a significant deterrent to your potential aggressors. However, his fearful nature makes him see danger where there is none. He can attack if he feels his master is in trouble.

Why does my dog bite?
Even if you have properly trained your dog, a bite quickly arrives. Sometimes the dog growls and then starts biting if you pet him or brush him in a place that hurts. Your dog may also bite you because he is scared or surprised. Bites also occur when the dominant/dominated relationship is blurred. It is mandatory to make your dog understand that you are the leader. To do this, specify the places that are allowed and those that are forbidden to him. In any case, you have to know how to be firm without being terrifying. Indeed, being severe without any measures would lead your dog to be even more aggressive.
To conclude, it is important not to remain unanswered by the bites of your dog. This behavior can always be explained. Do not hesitate to call on a veterinarian.
