what are the top 5 most ferocious breeds in dogs?

Answer 1

PITBULL
AKITA
ROTTWEILER
DOBERMAN
HUSKY

Answer 2

The word ferocious is not the exact word to try and describe the type of dog you are trying to find out. More accurately, the actively domiant dog with a lot of fight drive could be or would be the most ferocoius dog.
Some of the fighting breeds like the Pitbull, The pakistani Bully Kutta , Japan's Tosa Inu are very tough.
Again , some of the above mentioned may only be Dog-aggressive and not Human aggressive.
It depends on what purpose you are using the dog for. Game-bred Pitbulls are toughest, followed by Tosa Inu's and Bully-Kuttas In dog-fighting
If you are looking for Guarding -- German Shepherds from Working Lines , Rottweilers from Working Lines , Belgian Malinois .
Amongst the above mentioned breeds , there is a great difference between working bloodlines and Showbloodlines.
Working lines are the ones that can Guard.
Again there are other rare breeds like Fila Brasilero , Dogo Argentina and Neopolitan Mastiff that can Guard .
However , Not all people can manage these dogs , as they are only for experienced dog Owners. Owning them is a great moral responsibility. In the wrong hands , they are a danger to society.
Most of the time, there is never a bad dog , but a bad owner. It would be wise , that nobody should keep such dogs for feeling Macho . It would be like keeping a gun without a safety catch.

Answer 3

I loved reading these answers.
I have a Doberman Pinscher he has his CGC title from AKC and works sometimes as a therapy dog.
He is not ferocious and never has been.
It depends on the dog and how it was raised and trained.
I work with aggressive dogs as a behavorial trainer. Some are the usual large breed dogs like most of theose mention in the replys here.
However I have also worked with Yorkies, A toy poodle (who I got bit by) The one and only bite I have sustained was by a toy poodle.
Any dog can be freociuos if pushed or if he feels threatened. But most of the breeds mentioned can do more damage than some ofthe others.
There are exceptions to every breed. I think none are truely bad as a breed but some are just more assertive and take a tougher trainer and owner.

Answer 4

Oddly enough, the dog for the past few years that has held the record in the number of bites nation wide is the Cocker Spaniel. They don't do well with children, so that stands to reason.

The dogs that are feared the most are - pitt bull, bull mastiff, chow, doberman, Rottweiler, & german shepherd. Sad thing is, all these dogs are perfectly sweet at birth - it's only the owner that creates a vicious animal. I am all for putting the owner to sleep when they have manipulated and destroyed what would have made a perfect family pet.

Answer 5

Dogs bred for fighting.

1.—(1) This section applies to—
(a) any dog of the type known as the pit bull terrier;
(b) any dog of the type known as the Japanese tosa; and
(c) any dog of any type designated for the purposes of this section by an order of the Secretary of State, being a type appearing to him to be bred for fighting or to have the characteristics of a type bred for that purpose.

Other specially dangerous dogs.

2.—(1) If it appears to the Secretary of State that dogs of any type to which section 1 above does not apply present a serious danger to the public he may by order impose in relation to dogs of that type restrictions corresponding, with such modifications, if any, as he thinks appropriate, to all or any of those in subsection (2)(d) and (e) of that section.
This is the excerpt from the Dangerous Dogs Act of 1991......personally i believe the owner is at fault with a ferocious dog....German Shepherds are loyal but i wouldnt consider them ferocious....they are more often than not brought up to guard and protect....
Rottweilers are as a rule generally ok...but with so much inbreeding their temprement is being destroyed.
All the big dogs listed are probably classed as ferocious because of the damage they can inflict....if you read the media a lot of the fatal injuries inflicted by these types of dog...pitbulls included...have been on children and babies. Then again no one sees the parent being chastised for allowing the 2yr old toddler to pull the dogs tail or torment it with food etc.....
My mom has a west highland white terrier and i swear to god that it is the devil incarnate....its got to be the most evil thing ever spawned in the dog world.....so i would say that the smaller breeds of dog are probably the most ferocious...as they have to make up for what they lack in build and size in aggression.

Answer 7

There are NO furocious breeds of dogs.. Only owners and breeders who make them that way.. Any dog is a lap dog if you care for it properly.. And these breeders who are in it strictly for money will breed any dog with any temperment.. If you're a breeder of these so called "Vicious dogs" like rotties, pits, dobies.. any of them.. You should take the time to let your pet grow old enough to see their true colours around other animals and people.. If you see signs of aggression, don't breed them... (Sorry.. I have a thing against certain types of breeders/people who give my dogs bad names)

Answer 8

Ferocious or the ones with the worst bite? Most you see listed have jaws and snouts that can cause pretty bad bites. I own a cocker spaniel and cockapoo (poodle/cocker spaniel) and if you tick them off, they will try to take your hand off, but because of their jaws, the bite doesn't end up being that bad.

Answer 9

i think the answer would be " HUMAN " , today's world being much complex to live in , even the slightest odds, turns an intelligent , thinkable , specie on this earth , to be madly ferocious than a poor dog

Answer 10

1. Shih Tzu. Long a favorite breed of most toy dog lovers, Shih Tzus are amazingly resilient canines, considering the diminutive size. Their long hair, which can reach the floor because of their short legs, need constant brushing. But aside from this, Shih Tzus are perfect for city life. They are not gregarious dogs. Their aristocratic history actually gives them a regal bearing. Often, this is mistaken for arrogance, especially with their flat noses that make them look like adorable snobs. They are very well-behaved, and portable too, again, thanks to their size. You won't have to worry about ruined household effects, at least, not as much as when you care for a sports breed.

2. Lhasa Apso. A close kin of the Shih Tzu, Lhasas are also popular dogs for city dwellers. They possess the same regal temperaments of their cousins, are not hyper active, and they generally need little housetraining. Lhasa Apsos, however, need the same grooming requisites as Shih Tzus.

3. Chihuahua. Chihuahuas are a fascinating breed. Their attitude belies their small stature. They're one of the smallest dogs known to man, yet in their minds, they're the biggest bullies in town. They'd bark at canines and humans much, much, much bigger than them, and they won't back down an inch. Chihuahuas may be gregarious little creatures, but they are very receptive to their masters' commands. They're too small to reduce your home into ruins, and this makes them perfect household pets.

4. Pugs. Pugs are still considered as members of the toy breed. They are closely related to American and British Bulldogs, albeit, smaller in size. They are not as ferocious as their cousins, however. On the contrary, they're quite lazy, and would rather spend the whole afternoon in deep slumber. This makes them great household companions who don't require demanding care.

5. Labradors. This breed is being included in this list for those who would want a sports dog. Labradors are one of the most intelligent dog breeds. They learn fast, and are very mild mannered. They are not as gregarious as other dogs of the sports breed. They respond well to a little show of affection, but they're smart enough not to be giddy about it to the point of jeopardizing household effects. Labradors need regular exercise, however, so a daily walk would be necessary to keep this canine companion in good health.

City dwellers don't have to sacrifice the joys of owning a dog. It's just a matter of choosing the right breed to suit their lifestyle and living conditions. A dog can bring so much happiness into anyone's life, and with the right breed, city dwellers could experience urban living with these affectionate and faithful pets.
