what are some aggressive dog breeds?

Question

i have arottie and a pitbull that arent aggresive

Answer 1

my german rottie.
With his family he wouldnt hurt a fly though, he is the best!
he gets agressive when people get to close to 'his' yard (the fence), he wont do anything if they are walking by on the street, its only when they are too close to the fence!
the funny thing is when I take him for a walk he is very social among other dogs and people.

But all in all I think ANY breed of dog could become aggressive especially if the owner permits the dogs behavior!

Answer 2

If you have a Pitbull and is not aggresive it is because you are a good pet owner and handler. We raised Rott, dogs for years and everyone wanted one, because we trained them to be gentle and not aggresive. Same way with Pitbulls, as they are trained to be a good family dog and yet not be aggressive upon comand. They are the smartest dogs and if well trained in a good obediant way, then I would say to you. You did a good job !! We had a wonderful pet dog named CoCo and he was a beautiful young Pitbull. Well just because of his breed, he was killed by a Police Officer. The Pitbull did nothing to challenge the Police, but because our Pitbull was challenged by the Police German Shepherd and our dog overpowered the Police dog, the Officer , pulled out his pistol and shot CoCo through the head twice. CoCo was only one year old. Even the mailperson liked CoCo. So if you own this breed. Protect them from being murdered, un-fairly. A dog is aggressive, if you train them to be.

Answer 3

The breed of a dog is not what determines if it is aggressive or not. It is how the dog bred, trained, and raised. Neutering and spaying also makes a difference.
I have 14 dogs: 2 Rotts, 1 Pit, Chow mix, 3 Shepherd mixes, a Chihuahua, Keeshond, Sheltie, 2 Great Pyrenees/St. Bernard mixes, Siberian Husky, and a Golden Retriever.
My Golden Retriever is the most aggressive dog I own, followed by my Chihuahua, Keeshond, then the Sheltie. My Pit and my Rotts do not have a mean bone in their bodies! They live in the house with me, 5 cats, a turtle, and 3 teenage girls. They have never shown any aggression to any of us.
When strangers approach my male Rott and my Pit will stand right in front of me, practically on my feet, and watch the person. They never growl or anything, they are just keeping distance between me and the stranger. My female Rott will run and hide, big old baby she is! My GR on the other hand will charge them. The rest of my dogs will bark and growl but won't do anything else.
There are 5 million Pits in the US, and only 12 fatal dog attacks every year....very few of them are caused by Pits. If they were so aggressive then that number would be much, much higher. Same thing goes for Rotts and all of the other "bully" breeds.

Answer 4

My first question would be why do you want an aggresive dog? With socialization and training, any breed can be a great wonderful dog. Pit Bulls were not bred to be aggresive toward humans. You should not own dogs if you only want them to be aggresive, this is not safe and is not being a responsible dog owner. Please do not get a dog just because you want protection, dogs are pack animals and are companaion animals. It is not fair to them.

Answer 5

depends what you want to use them for and how they are bred and from what parents they come from. Normally, it depends on the way the dog was raised up until it was about 1.5-2 years old. If they dogs were spoiled and introduced to a lot of people and were petted by a lot of people, they tend to be nicer and less aggressive. Also, if they are neutered (males) they tend to be less aggressive. (I love arguing the aggressiveness of neutered males. People think they are still aggressive but have never really seen aggression or agitation) Now, if you want dogs for sentry work or property (only property) protection, Dobermans, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and some hounds tend to be naturally aggressive to anyone not labeld as their handler. (this is not always the owner). If you want a personal protection dog (civil or executive) you need to find a dog from working lines and not conformation lines. I've never seen a dog from conformation lines be anywhere near aggressive let along good for protection work. UNDERSTAND THIS, a sentry dog is not ment for a person that lives anywhere near a city or in the suburban areas. Sentry dogs are just that, sentry dogs. They are mean, and evil and will bite anything and everything. These dogs are used ONLY for protection of property and NOT people. Just because you are their owner, doesn't mean they accept you as their handler. If you want a dog for protection, contact REGISTERED BREEDERS not petshops or backyard breeders.

Answer 6

The most common breads that I am aware of who turn on their masters, or attack other, smaller, dogs, them progress to children are: Collie, Pitbull Terrier, Chow, Rottweiler, Standard Poodle. I read a book a long time ago and I believe those where the breeds from most common down for the top five. As you can see the German Pincer isn't in the top five, as isn't the German Sheppard. I don't think they were even in the top ten.

Answer 7

Any dog can be aggressive if bred and raised to be that way. I have chihuahuas and a lot of people think they are the meanest dogs around. Well, my dogs are not that way. It is all in the breeding and the raising.

Having said all of that, I would never own or want to be around a presa canario. Those dogs are vicious.

I used to be afraid of rotties, until someone dropped one by our home. I was scared to go outside for a couple of weeks. I would toss him food outside the back door, and we gradually became friends. He was a gentle old dog. I have since owned 2 other rotties and they were wonderful dogs. The second male tho would have killed anyone I think if they had threatened me. He was so protective of me.

Answer 8

I would have to say pits. I dont like them at all with some of my experience with them and Im sorry it dont matter how you raise them they are mean and aggresive dogs that can turn on you in a heartbeat.
My next door neighbor had two and was always kind to them and they got out the door one day and ran right over to my hard and tried to attack my four year old son at the time and then went after my pup and just about killed him. We called the law and they was put to sleep because of many other cases with these two.

My girlfriend and her husband has a pit and they are great dog owners not a mean bone in their body and one day the pit turned against them and gave her a nasty bite and she got rid of it due to a baby coming into the house.

Poodles can get very nasty to . They are usually a one person dog and they can get mean as a snake to . My mom had one growing up and you didnt come near my mom or it would bite and my grandparents had one when I was little and they had to lock the dog up when me and sis came to visit so we wouldnt get dog bit

Answer 9

It generally depends on training. I know a lot of people bit by cocker spaniels though. Little dogs are snappier but not neccessarily aggresive

Answer 10

Dogs, cats and other animals, are just like people. Different personalities and traits. Some people are real nice and other are nasty. I knew someone that had a collie, he was the nicest dog I ever knew. Someone else I knew had a collie and it was not friendly at all.
