Where can I find a list of dogs considered to be among the top vicious?

Question

I know Pittbulls, Rottweilers, Dobermans, and chows are but I want to get a list of them all.

Answer 1

Well I have a lhasa apso, she's really vicious. Besides licking anyone to death - when I took her to the vets and she was amid all these large breeds dogs, I did tell the owners to be on their guard, as she could easily kill their dogs. They had to laugh when I said they'd choke on her!

Answer 2

I think you need to clarify your question. None of those breeds are "vicious". If you are looking for who bites the most, you will get a list of very friendly family pets - Poodles, Cocker Spaniels, Labs, Goldens, etc. If you are looking for who inflicts the most damage, you will get the breeds listed above, but not due to their "vicious" nature, but rather their conformation. If you are looking for a list of the least people friendly dogs, none of those would be on that list. I'm not sure what you're project is, but you need to be very careful how you word your question and its answer. And be vigilant in looking at the data you get. It's easy to skew results to show whatever you want them to, and while it unfortunately seems as though you already have a bias, you owe it to yourself and whomever you are sharing this information with, to be as fair as possible with your results.

Answer 3

Um... no. Those dogs are actually some of the least aggressive, but most trainable dogs. And "pitbull" isn't even a breed, so no luck there.

Here is a link to the ATTS (American Temperment Test Society) which periodically tests all the breeds, you can see the percentages of the passing and failing examples of the breed there.

The American Pit Bull Terrier has a passage rate of 83.5, whereas the Beagle, a good, family dog has a passage rate of 79.7, and the Miniature Poodle a whopping 76.2.

Answer 4

all of it has to do with how the canines is knowledgeable and taken care of. confident, a pit bull has a foul acceptance with loads of human beings, yet any breed could be agressive- male or woman, enormous or small. A yorkie could be an agressive canines, even. The the trick is to alter this habit at an early age the place there are any symptoms of aggresiveness.

Answer 5

try putting a small dog in a larger body say like a chihuahua in a chow size body & see who`s the meanest, i worked at a humane society for 9 months & we would have to muzzle the little dogs twice as much as the big ones while working on them , they seem to have a natural small person (dog ) syndrome.

Answer 6

To all those who say poodles or other small companion dogs. These dogs may occaisionally nip but, they don't kill and maim like the breeds listed here. I think guard dogs are more likely to do harm. Even though I love Doberman's and think they have had the viciousness bred out of them.

Answer 7

Its called the "Bad Dog" list. It differs from state to state. Most home Insurance companies have a list, because alot wont insure your home if you own a dog on the list. look at this site for some ideas on what breeds are there..
