Can you imagine how terrifying the world’s most aggressive dogs can be?They can single-handedly fight wild boars and challenge lions.Their temperaments are extremely fierce,and once a battle starts,it only ends with one party dead.Today,we will look at the ten most aggressive dog breeds in the world.The first place will exceed everyone’s expectations.
The 10 Most Aggressive Dog Breeds in the World
10th Place:The Unusual Killer Bull Terrier
The bull terrier breed has become more well-known to many people.It is a hybrid of the bulldog and the now-extinct black and tan terrier,and the modern bull terrier we see today has evolved from various breeds.It looks cute and clumsy,not tall,and seems no different from the docile pet dogs in pet shops.
But can you believe it?These are all illusions.The seemingly harmless bull terrier can easily kill a German shepherd.Its small body has immense strength,and its biting power can rival that of a shark.When approaching its target,it can move silently like a cat.
The Bull Terrier is likewise one of the top ten most dangerous dog breeds.
9th Place:Spanish Presa Canario
This breed can still be seen being raised in some parts of our country.When walking the dog without a leash,it is quite impressive,and the owner doesn’t fear that one bite from the Presa Canario could take down a Mercedes-Benz.
This dog breed was bred from the English Mastiff and is a type of fighting dog.It is very robust,loves to fight,has a violent temper,and is extremely difficult to raise,especially unfriendly to children.It has won the title of the breed that causes the most injuries and deaths for many years and is banned in most countries.In the 1960s,the breed was on the brink of extinction and was successfully saved by Dr.Carl Semencek from the American Veterinary College.
8th Place:Brazilian Fila
It has the ability to fight wild boars and even jaguars,with extremely strong aggressiveness.Its hunting dog traits are very prominent,with excellent wild tracking abilities.
When it discovers prey during a hunt,it does not attack first but tries to trap the prey and wait for the hunter to arrive.It is brave but not reckless,remaining calm in battles,and is very vigilant towards strangers.Because of this trait,in Brazil’s slave society,it was used to capture runaway slaves and bring them back unharmed to their owners.
Those who watch movies often may notice that if there are scenes of dogs chasing enemies,most of them use the Brazilian Fila.Due to its large size and strong aggressiveness,many countries have explicitly banned raising this breed.
7th Place:Neapolitan Mastiff
This is the most dangerous dog I have ever seen.If you see it while walking outside,don’t say anything,just run.It is said to be the favorite pet of the Italian Mafia.Once it targets you,it’s a fight to the death unless one side wins.
Its large size is very imposing,and its temperament is unusually fierce.It also has a chilling habit of eating the prey it kills,making it the most brutal killer among fierce dogs.Its dark,shiny fur exudes a strong sense of oppression,and just being near it can make you feel fear deep in your soul.However,it has one characteristic that other ferocious breeds do not:it can be tamed.It is absolutely loyal to its owner.
6th Place:Dogue de Bordeaux
The Dogue de Bordeaux may have the largest head among dog breeds in the world.Its entire body is covered in wrinkles,giving it a very combative appearance and immense strength.Throughout history,it has played various roles,serving as a military dog,herding dog,and in popular gladiator arenas,fighting bulls and bears.
At one point,due to the prevailing environment,the number of Dogue de Bordeaux dropped to a minimum.Fortunately,it was protected by the French Mastiff Club,which initiated a recovery program and breeding plan for the breed.Since then,the Dogue de Bordeaux population has returned to normal.
5th Place:Caucasian Shepherd
It is known as the king of dog breeds and is the largest existing dog breed in the world.The most primitive and purebred Caucasian Shepherd comes from Siberia.Initially,it was used as a border patrol dog,formerly a military dog of the Soviet Union,living in mountainous areas and used by locals to protect livestock.It often fought with wolves and dared to encircle wolf packs,showing absolute loyalty to its owner.Over time,this resulted in the Caucasian Shepherd’s strong physique and brave temperament,with extreme alertness and a strong will.
In recent years,due to the strong trend of pet ownership,the Caucasian Shepherd,with its beautiful appearance,has been selectively bred to retain its obedience to its owner.However,it still harbors significant hostility towards strangers.Before entering a family,it must undergo certain training to ensure safety.In most cases,the Caucasian Shepherd can happily interact with children,understanding not to harm them,but sometimes it forgets its large size.
When a large dog like the Caucasian Shepherd plays with children,an adult must always be present.
4th Place:Dogo Argentino
This breed gives the deepest impression of team combat.They excel in intentional teamwork and are the best hunting dogs in Argentina.Their muscles are very developed and visible,with powerful explosiveness and aggressiveness.Their strong will is a key factor in their combat success.
Any prey targeted by the Dogo Argentino will inevitably be captured.Its bite force is astonishing,and once it bites down,nothing can make it let go.
In the evolving human society,some originally fierce Dogo Argentinos have developed friendly and modest traits,becoming pets in many households.However,their inherent genes and bloodlines cannot be completely eliminated.When raising them,one must always be vigilant.Some dog breeds can be tamed over time,but some can never be fully domesticated.
3rd Place:The Silent Killer Tosa Inu
It is the oldest fighting dog breed in the Eastern world.It appeared in the 19th century and was previously a prominent presence in dog fighting competitions.The Tosa Inu originates from Japan,where it is considered the embodiment of the samurai spirit,often representing fearless courage.The Tosa Inu itself is a being capable of single-handedly hunting wild boars.It is only medium-sized but has tremendous combat power.
Standing about 80 centimeters tall,an adult Tosa Inu can weigh between 50 to 80 kilograms.When attacking,the Tosa Inu is very quiet and does not make a sound,hence being called the silent killer.It is bred through hybridization,which results in an exceptionally strong physique.However,its temperament is unpredictable and very violent,making its sudden attacks hard to guard against.
It is very agile and highly aggressive,and many countries have explicitly banned raising this breed.
2nd Place:Tibetan Mastiff
The Tibetan Mastiff is known as the divine dog of the East,coming from the cold regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.It is a very large and fierce breed.Although large,it is not clumsy and is very agile.It exudes a strong and noble aura,with immense strength.However,its endurance is relatively poor,and it is very aggressive,showing unprecedented hostility towards strangers.
Tibetan Mastiff puppies have poor memory before adulthood and are very protective of their food,so one should never approach them while they are eating.There was a time when the Tibetan Mastiff’s fame was known to everyone,even becoming a symbol of status.Owning a well-bred Tibetan Mastiff became a goal for many.One Tibetan Mastiff even sold for a million-dollar price,but people soon discovered that Tibetan Mastiffs are not suited to plains climates.They come from high-altitude areas and face many health issues in the plains.
The Tibetan Mastiff is one of the oldest dog breeds in the world,with a history of over 5,000 years.Many mastiff ancestors in today’s society are Tibetan Mastiffs.Although they are very powerful and fierce,they are extremely loyal to their owners.In the plateau regions,they are mostly local people’s guard dogs,protecting the livestock and forewarning of dangers.
There is a well-known story about the loyalty of the Tibetan Mastiff.
A herdsman encountered a powerful snowstorm and did not return home for two days.The Tibetan Mastiff at home,seeing its owner absent for so long,broke its leash and went out to find him.It successfully led the herdsman back home a day later.However,due to the potential threat of the Tibetan Mastiff’s strength to humans,it is not suitable for living in residential areas.
Thus,we rarely see Tibetan Mastiffs.Nowadays,there are fewer and fewer purebred Tibetan Mastiffs in the world.
1st Place:Pit Bull
The most notable characteristic of the Pit Bull is its lack of pain sensation.It has a fierce temperament and loves to fight,being a descendant of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Bulldog.It was bred as a fighting dog and hardly feels pain in fights,possessing incredible endurance,which makes it prone to causing trouble.Once a fight starts,it’s to the death.
The Pit Bull also has a low IQ and is not easy to train.All this indicates that despite its small size,the Pit Bull is undoubtedly the most ferocious dog in the world.
