I hate to answer a question with a question, but I'm more concerned with why you want to know, rather than learning the correct answer.
Any vicious, untrainable dog should be put down.

There is no such thing as an untrainable breed. I have rescued, retrained, and rehomed hundreds of dogs of the last 10 years. I've handled every breed out there, from a chihuahua to Pits to Rotts.
It is irresponsible humans that give certain breeds a bad wrap. No dog is born as an aggressive, man eating beast. They are taught to be that way.
I currently own a Pit, 2 Rotts, 3 German Shepherds, a Chow, a chihuahua, a sheltie, etc. 14 dogs total in my household. Not one of them is mean or aggressive. They all get along with each other as well as with my 5 cats, my turtle, and my horse. I have a 2 year old neice that loves to come over and play with all my dogs, they have all been very well trained and socialized. I also have 3 teen girls who always have friends over and I have never, not once, had a problem with my dogs getting aggressive.
Blame the deed, not the breed!

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BAD BREED, JUST BAD OWNERS....AS HAS BEEN STATED ALREADY, EVEN A TINY DOG CAN BE MEAN IF NOT PROPERLY WORKED WITH AND TRAINED.
Any breed can be trained and worked with....Pitts for example....I have a buddy who has never owned anything but a Pitt Bull....and they are some of the most well behaved and loving dogs I have ever seen. IT is all about the owner and not the dog....I just hate when people blame the breeds for the actions of the owner. Dogs are just like people....if you take a infact boy and teach him his whole life to hate a specific group of people, the child will do just that. Same goes for puppies....if you take a new puppy, don't socialize or train the puppy the chances of agression are higher....no matter what breed of dog it is...

There is no such breed. . .even so-called "fighting" breeds can be loving, wonderful animals if trained properly and socialized at an early age. A poorly bred, badly socialized dog of ANY breed can be made dangerous.
The most vicious, untrainable animal is the one that has been abused, neglected, and/or forced by its owner to attack. Blame the owner and in some cases, the breeder, but not the breed itself.

Sherpei, hands down the worst if the owner isn't in the room. I did many years as a vet tech and it really is the basically breed as an entire that i'd not believe because of journey. i might want to assert a sturdy 0.5 a dozen diverse canines became into Cujo if the owner wasn't in the room. they arrive into the hospital satisfied tail wagging, positioned them in a kennel and a pair of hours later at the same time as they were up for surgical treatment they could attempt to devour everybody that approached them. I by no skill, by no skill had an issue with a pitbull, and we'd want to have one hundred situations the quantity of pitbulls come through compared to sharpei's. i have by no skill even met a nasty tempered pitbull, all of those i have ever considered were very pleasant to human beings. Now, that could to not say that that they had be basically as sensible to different canines, that relied on how properly they were socialized as a pup. I easily have 2 small children and that i'd not hesitate to allow them puppy someones pitbull on the line. even with the undeniable fact that, i'd not enable them close to a sharpei, no remember how a lot the owner reported it became effective. Had absolutely everyone of the vendors of the canines that were motive on killing me say their canines became effective......

Different breeds have different training profiles, but none is "untrainable". That's a myth. Any dog can be trained using the approrpiate method and motivation for it's particular personality.
Dogs are animals. Any dog can be vicious if not properly trained and socialized.

There are no un-trainable dog breeds. There are certain breeds of dogs that are not for certain types of people. Pit bulls and Rottweilers are an example. But that's because some people don't know how to handle a powerful dog. A chihuahua or a toy poodle is just as likely to be vicious as a pit bull. But nobody hears about them because they are not as power full as a pit bull. So they don't do as much damage as a pit bull can do.

There is no such thing... All dogs have a chance to be good from birth! Humans are the untrainable ones!!! All of the uninformed people need to leave pitties alone!!!

Chichuahuas and Poodles! Believe it or not.. they are very possessive and insecure. I have seen more people bitten by such breeds then the bully breeds. People think that because they are small they are harmless... but no!
Then again it has to do a lot with the owner. There's a "Dog Whisperer" episode with a lady who was a trainer and did dog shows but she could not make her ugly little chihuahua be nice to her own son!
Anyway, i have a pitt-bull and a boxer and they are the nicest dogs at the dog park and everybody loves them. (i love my baby-girls!)

There is no dog that is untrainable , if correctly handled . Even a tiny dog can be vicious if not treated correctly .
