VIDEO: These Are the Most Dangerous Dogs in the World. Some Will Shock You

There are a lot of dogs that can strike fear in some because they are known as dangerous and violent dogs.

The funny thing is that no dog is actually bad unless you train it this way or treat it badly.

In this video you will see that even Chow Chow dogs or Huskies that are known to be adorable and mellow can be very dangerous if you want them to.

According to list25.com, there are many factors that play a role when assigning a “danger” level to a dog but most critics and researchers disagree as to what these factors are.

Consequently, it’s unfair to callously label a dog as dangerous. Nevertheless, it can’t be helped that some dog breeds have more potential to cause serious harm to a person if the dog were to decide to attack.

Therefore, our 25 most dangerous dog breeds focuses on the potential of a dog to cause serious injury to a victim. It is important to note however that most dogs are bred with the desire to please their masters.

Thus most incidents involving dogs stem from improper training and harsh ownership.

The Tosa Inu is a massive dog with some variations weighing anywhere between 130 to 200 lbs. and can reach heights of 24.5 to 32 inches.

Originally bred to be a fighting dog, it is considered dangerous and legally restricted in some countries.

American Bandogge – This incredibly strong dog is a cross breed between an American Pit Bull Terrier and a Neapolitan Mastiff.

In spite of its muscular look, the dog was not originally bred for fighting. Nevertheless, some have used it as fighting dog.

Cane Corso – The Cane Corso is a well muscled dog that can weigh anywhere between 99 to 150 pounds.

The breed is known as a true and quite possibly the last of the coursing Mastiffs and is a descendant of the Canis Pugnax, which were dogs used by the Romans in warfare.

Bull Terrier – Known for their large egg shaped heads, Bull Terriers are exceptionally strong dogs with a #1 ranking in pound-for-pound lean muscle tissue.

Though not particularly aggressive, the breed is known to have a strong “prey drive” which makes the Bull Terrier a dangerous dog towards smaller animals.

Rhodesian Ridgeback – Originally from Southern Africa; this dog is known for its ability to keep lions away from prey while the dog’s master makes the kill.

This semi-domesticated ridged hunting dog is loyal and intelligent, but is very aloof to strangers.

They also require positive reward-training, avoidance of rough treatment and good socialization skills since they can be over-sensitive and may develop an aggressive side.

Dogo Argentino – The Dogo Argentino is a large, white, muscular dog that was developed in Argentina primarily for the purpose of big-game hunting, including wild boar and puma.

Though extremely strong and athletic, the Dogo was bred to be non-aggressive towards humans.

Nevertheless, it is illegal to own a Dogo in the United Kingdom under their Dangerous Dogs Act of 1991.
