what are considered attack dog breeds or what breeds of dogs are those?

Answer 1

Actually any and every breed of dog have taken part in an attack whether it be on human or animal. Many people consider certain breeds like the rottweiler, german shepherds, the bullie group, dobermans, etc. to be part of the attack breeds. While these breeds are often associated with that stigma, one needs to consider the treatment these dogs are receiving from their owners as many of these dogs have been used as "guard dogs" or for dog fights (even though they are illegal). The pit bull has gotten the largest stigma because that breed can be mistaken for so many others (American Staffordshire Terrier, American Bulldog, etc.) as well as many mixed breeds.
The truth is that less than 5% of dog bites are reported and most often the dog bites that do occur are done to the owner by the person's dog. It's unfortunate that certain breeds are getting such a bad rap while others go unnoticed. For example, the breed of dog at the top of the list of those most likely to bite you is the cocker spaniel, but that breed isn't considered dangerous, and no one's ever heard the story of the Golden Retriever that killed one of the owners kids because they were left alone in a room together. So while some dogs may be born with a more aggressive gene, always take into consideration the way that a dog is raised and treated because even the most aggressive dog can be trained to behave like an angel and the sweetest dog in the world can be turned into a monster through beatings by it's owner.

Answer 2

Pitbulls, bulldogs, rottweilers, and chows are the typical dogs that are breeded as attack breeds, and all have the potential to be extremely visious even with a loving home. Loving families then to make them less visious, but they still have a tendency to get out of hand occasionally. I hope this answers your question.

Additional: Oh, I forgot about the Doberman.

Answer 3

Most large breeds can be used as attack dogs, if they are trained to be so. Bad candidates would be Newfoundlands, Golden Retrievers, and other happy dopey breeds. Classic attack breeds are German Shepherds, Mastiffs, Bullmastiffs, Dobermans, and Rottweilers. Ideally, they will fearlessly drag a human to the ground, then release him relatively undamaged on command. Pit bulls are bred to be dog-aggressive, not human-aggressive, but if they do attack humans, their stubbornness would make them hard to call off (someone please correct me on this theory).
The best attack dog is so big and intimidating no one comes near it. This is what Bullmastiffs were bred for, when they were used by gamekeepers to deter poachers.

Answer 4

(I was attacked by a rottweiler...unprovoked by-the-way)

I think pitbulls & rotties should only be owned by prople who really know what they are doing and have had training of some sort, since these breeds can do so much damage..I would not be here today if i was alone when I was attacked by a one year old rottie...I reallly dont want to offend anyone but its the size and the amount of damage they can do... they are not a BAD breed they just need owners that know what they are doing and they need to be "WELL" socialized...again dont take offense at my answer I love all types of dogs cats birds etc...

but ANY dog could be trained to be a quote"ATTACK" dog....smile (even the little ones)

after note:
yes any dog could be attack dogs but rotties and pitts are more common in "turning" on their owners OR having the worst rep of attacking...might just be the owners but, the dog that attacked me was very niceI actually hugged on him several different days ) prior to my attack and I had no perfume on no other dog was provoking him he was leashed sitting in front of me and i was not even touching him when he suddenly turned around and attacked the*ell out of me when the vet I was working for had to pull him off of me... he had no training/socialization and those types of dogs really need it...so do the owners...

Answer 5

some breed like rottie and pitbulls are aggressive breed but all dogs can be aggressive all breeds and the owner is the one to train them not to be that way. but sometimes it is not always the owners fault. but really any breed can get aggressive at one time or another for some unknown reason.

Answer 6

My Dad's a police dog handler, all the attack dogs they use are German Shephards. Most law enforcement attack dogs are German Shepherds, though they're generally also used for searches, tracking, etc, as well.
