Some of the bred breeds are now considered dangerous, and in most countries such dogs are banned or have certain restrictions on their keeping. These prohibitions are regulated by special laws. Their main goal is to prevent injuries and deaths from dog bites.

Let's try to understand which countries have introduced bans and restrictions on which dogs.

American Bulldog. These dogs are officially banned in Singapore, Denmark and some other countries. The breed has become famous since late XIX century. It is one of the closest and untouched relatives english bulldog. The breed originally appeared in the south of the country, where these bulldogs were used as watchdogs. They were especially trained to hunt wild pigs. But these creatures weigh several hundred pounds and are quite ferocious. That is why the trained dogs were large, strong and quite dangerous. When attacking its victim, the American bulldog would cling to its throat until its owner approached. The peculiarity of the breed is its high pain threshold. And American bulldogs weigh from 27 to 54 kilograms.

Bloodhound. Since the Middle Ages, the word “bandog” has been used to refer to big dogs, used as guards. Modern bloodhounds have lost their purebred nature; they are bred from breeds such as mastiffs and pit bull terriers. The size of such a dog is comparable to a Great Dane. Veterinarian John Swynford began breeding the breed in the late 1960s, and it soon became famous. The most famous representative, the Bantu dog, was extremely cruel and famous for its military exploits. Now this breed is banned almost everywhere. And these aggressive animals can weigh from 30 to 50 kg.

Neapolitan Mastiff. Another nickname for the breed is neo. She was born in Italy. This type of mastiff was immediately used as a military dog ​​by Roman legionnaires. She also acted as a kind of gladiator in bloody fights. Today, Neapolitan Mastiffs serve as guard dogs. The breed is large and has wrinkled skin, sagging cheeks and loose fur. It was the Neapolitan Mastiff that was taken as the basis for creating the image of the giant Hagrid from the epic Harry Potter. Dangerous dogs are prohibited by law in Singapore, and in Romania, the owner, before acquiring such a pet, must undergo a preliminary interview with a psychologist.

Czechoslovakian Wolfdog (Czechoslovakian Wolfdog). This breed was developed in 1955 in Czechoslovakia by crossing German Shepherd with the Carpathian wolf. The intertwined genetic structure gave the wolfdog an unpredictable character. It's difficult to say when she will behave like a wolf and when like an ordinary dog. Representatives of the breed have a clearly expressed prey drive. This is why sometimes a child is seen as a potential victim, resulting in cases of attacks on children. In general, the dog is considered a good pet, but keeping it is prohibited in Norway.

Boerboel. This dog became widespread in South Africa. Outwardly, she somewhat resembles a sporting bull. The name of the breed literally means “farm dog” in Dutch. Boerboels take their origins from African and guard dogs. In 1920, the breed appeared on the mainland from Europe, specifically for the protection of diamond copies in South Africa. Dogs are excellent guards, they love children and do not show outright aggression. Huge dogs reach a weight of 60 kg and are prohibited in Denmark. Boerboels are very strong and resilient, however, the owner is required to carry out constant grueling training.

Dogo Argentino In 1928, the breed was created by Dr. Antonio Martinez. 10 people took part in the creation process various breeds. This includes the Great Dane, Dogue de Bordeaux, Irish Wolfhound, and English Pointer. Each of them gave the new breed something of its own. Irish Wolfhound - speed, Great Pyrenees - endurance and white color, Great Dane - growth. The breeder bred these dogs specifically for hunting mountain lions and pumas. In a pack of five dogs, at least two turn out to be suicide bombers, which requires courage from the dogs. They are a real pile of muscles, and weigh up to 65 kg. The Dogo Argentino looks like an enlarged pit bull. Breeding this breed is prohibited in 10 countries, including Portugal, Australia and New Zealand. True, despite scary looking, the dog has never been used as a fighting dog.

Presa Canario. The Dogo Canario comes from Spain. The breed was recognized relatively recently, in 2001. At the same time, a dog marked the first case of killing a person. The victim died right in the corridor of his house. The owners of that dog were found guilty of murder and sentenced to long prison terms. She guards well and senses her territory, loves tranquility. The appearance of an uninvited guest can lead to an outbreak of aggression. The dangerous animal is banned in New Zealand and Australia. The history of the development of Great Danes goes back several centuries. They were not bred artificially, this breed developed naturally in the Canary Islands.

Fila Brasileiro. The large Brazilian Mastiff was once used to hunt jaguars and wild boars. The ancestors of the breed are most likely mastiffs. Of all the prohibited dogs, this is the most disobedient. The Brazilian Mastiff is an excellent guard dog who does not trust strangers. Some fanciers even value this breed for its aggressiveness. Even at exhibitions, judges are not recommended to touch them. This breed is banned in the UK. Although the dog is loyal to its owner and his family, numerous guests can cause aggression.

Japanese Tosa Inu. This breed is also called the Japanese Mastiff. She was bred at one time in the Principality of Tosa just for dog fighting. Local Japanese dogs crossed with bulldogs, mastiffs, Great Danes and St. Bernards imported from Europe. The result is a breed that can fight silently and is distinguished by increased durability. She does not rush at the enemy and does not growl, but tries to pin him with her body. Although sales of Tosa Inu from Japan itself are extremely rare, this breed is banned in Malta, Norway, Denmark and other countries.

American Pit Bull Terrier. This dog is a real terror to man. Meanwhile, most fears are in vain. Pit bulls were bred from early bulldogs and terriers specifically to fight other dogs. In this they really have no equal. This is a strong breed, capable of fighting to the end and winning no matter what. However, today, unfortunately, pit bulls are a symbol of criminal offenses associated with dogs. But an attack on a person is associated only with poor care of the dog and its poor training. Initially, she was not bred to attack people, so she does not show aggression. Don't consider this good-natured pet as a deadly enemy. True, it was banned in Miami-Dade County, Florida, the Canadian province of Ontario and some countries.

Thus, if the country does not strictly prohibit the ownership of dangerous breeds of dogs, a person can keep such a pet, strictly observing the rules of ownership restrictions, walk dogs correctly and be sure to muzzle them in public places.

It was previously reported that in 100 years

The most dangerous dogs in the world: prohibited “cholerics” and permitted “hypocrites”

Although “Dog is Man’s Friend,” there are breeds that were clearly not bred to be human friends. They can be not so much good guards as a potential danger both for uninvited guests and for the owner himself.

It is difficult to determine exactly which is the most dangerous dog in the world: the seemingly cute American pit bull terrier, the lion hunter Dogo Argentino, or the Caucasian shepherd dog familiar to Russian people. In any case, among those who received the title of “the most evil” there are many both frequently occurring and quite rare breeds.

Prohibited dog breeds

This collection contains sufficient characteristics famous breeds, which are prohibited or limited in breeding due to their bad character.

The American Pit Bull Terrier often receives the title of the most dangerous dog in the world. The breed is banned in many countries of the world: from Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, etc.) and Asia (Israel, Singapore, etc.) to Europe (Switzerland, Norway, Great Britain, Denmark, etc.) and America (some states of the USA and Canada ).

Despite its small size (weight about 30 kg with average height), the dog is dangerous - without a doubt, the winner in dog fights, the best “policeman” and bodyguard.

She is affectionate towards children by nature - loves to play with them, good-natured towards children, devoted to her owner, intelligent. It is this breed, despite its bad “reputation” in many countries, that is considered one of the best for family and protection.

Neapolitan Mastiff (Mastino Napoletano)

The breed was bred in Italy a long time ago for baiting wild animals in arenas. Ancient Rome and security. Nowadays it is used for guard duty. An interesting fact is that it was Mastino Napoletano that was used in the filming of the famous “Harry Potter” in the role of Fang, the giant Hagrid’s pet.

The Neapolitan Mastiff is very loyal, even too loyal. He can easily become jealous of his owner, showing his displeasure in an aggressive manner. He is also unkind towards children and other animals.

For the reasons described above, breeding of the Napoletano Mastino is limited in Romania, Singapore, and prohibited in some states of America and Bermuda.

This is not a breed, but rather the name of a cross between an American Pit Bull Terrier (or a Staffordshire Terrier) and a Neapolitan Mastiff.

The translation of the name – “chain dog” – fully corresponds to the character of the bandogs. They are fearless, bold and aggressive. This is not surprising, because initially their main purpose was to participate in dog fights. The hopes of the breeders were not justified. Bandogs are inferior in battle to their “parents” - American pit bull terriers, quickly retreating before their pressure and refusing to fight.

Ownership of bandogs is limited in Belarus and Romania, the “breed” is prohibited in Switzerland and some states of America.

Like Bandogs, Tosa Inu were designed to participate in dog fighting. The only difference is that the Tosa Inu did not have to “bite” the opponent, but pressed him to the ring. Dogs were forbidden to bark in the ring or cause damage to the opponent - such participants were disqualified.

Representatives of the breed are calm and very “silent”, usually unobtrusive and not aggressive. But they are difficult to train, stubborn, and sometimes unpredictable towards strangers and other dogs.

The breed is prohibited in Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Bermuda, some states of America, etc.

Although this breed is recognized as potentially dangerous in Russia, it is common among dog breeders in the country.

Originally bred to protect sheep from wolves. Now it is used for guard duty.

Due to its ferocious nature and intractability to train, the breed is banned (or restricted in breeding) in Denmark and Italy.

Another prohibited breed of dog familiar to Russian people. Interestingly, this is one of the oldest breeds. It was developed in the middle of the 18th century in Germany.

Rottweilers are large, hardy and energetic. They have a fairly balanced character, treat strangers calmly, and love children. At the same time, Rottweilers are quite independent (but not stubborn, like, for example, the already mentioned Tosa Inu!), and require a serious approach to training. The Rottweiler's bite is considered the strongest of all dogs.

The breed is prohibited or restricted in breeding in Spain, France, Israel, American states, Italy, etc.

The breed originally appeared to hunt bears, jaguars, and even track down escaped slaves in Brazil in the mid-20th century. Like the Caucasian Shepherd, the dog is quite large - males reach 70 centimeters in height and weigh 50-60 kg.

Fila Brasileiro can truly be called a man's friend. Dogs of this breed feel their duty to their owners and persistently protect them. This is the problem. There are frequent cases when Phils attack people because of their distrust of strangers.

The breeding and import of the breed is prohibited (or limited) in Cyprus, Malta, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, the USA and in a number of European countries - Portugal, Spain, Great Britain, Denmark.

This breed appeared as a result of crossing the Carpathian wolf and the German shepherd. It is dangerous because its representatives can behave unpredictably and often attack small children, considering them prey.

Czechoslovakian wolfhounds are very “universal”. Although they were bred to participate in military operations, the dogs were subsequently used as rescuers, search engines, shepherds, and in protective guard service.

The Czechoslovakian Wolfhound is banned in Norway and military camps in the United States.

This breed, as the name suggests, was developed in Argentina almost 100 years ago. Its representatives are not very large size(males weigh on average 50 kg with a height of 64 cm), when compared with a mastiff or Caucasian Shepherd. However, this fact does not make the Great Dane safer. Dogs are characterized by an athletic body structure, the ability to “jump” high and the character of a hunter.

The Dogo Argentino was originally bred to hunt mountain lions, pumas and peccaries. Now they are purchased for security, protection and simply as a companion. Despite this, Dogo Argentinos are banned in 10 countries: Australia, Great Britain, Israel, Spain, Norway, etc.

Allowed dog breeds

Below are breeds whose breeding is not limited, but they are considered potentially dangerous. This means that it has not yet been registered large quantity cases of a dog attacking a person, but the size, character or improper training of the dog can pose a danger to both the owner and strangers.

Another name for the breed is “lion dog”. It is associated with the purpose of Ridgebacks - they were used as assistants by lion hunters. Despite this fact, representatives of the breed are patient, child-friendly, and quiet.

The problem with Rhodesian Ridgebacks is that if not trained correctly they can become unmanageable. Manifests natural character hunter, the dog becomes dominant in the relationship with the owner. Breed not suitable weak people, who are accustomed to allowing their pet a lot.

Most people associate the Chow Chow with good nature, fluffy fur and a sweet look. So it is, representatives of this breed are usually melancholic, constantly “flying in the clouds” and do not particularly pay attention to what is happening around them.

At the same time, Chow Chows do not like strangers and do not trust strangers. Representatives of the breed especially do not like the excessive love of strangers. If the dog doesn't like the desire to be too persistent stranger play or hug, she may attack. If something makes a Chow Chow angry, she is capable of turning from a detached melancholic into an aggressive defender at one moment.

The crossing of bulldogs and terriers by the British gave rise to the history of bull terriers. The result was terrifying: strong body, elongated muzzle, scissor bite. Despite this appearance, the breed is quite peaceful and friendly.

However strong jaw with a "death grip" is dangerous characteristic dogs. If suddenly your pet doesn’t like something, he is capable of biting. Bull Terrier bites are the most dangerous of all dogs.

Gul Dong, bulldog, Pakistani mastiff – there are many different names for this breed. It was originally used in colonial India (modern Pakistan) for baiting wild animals and participating in dog fights.

The dogs' flexibility, strength and strong muscles are combined with their intractability to training, making them one of the most dangerous dogs. They are especially aggressive towards other animals, children and teenagers. They act with lightning speed. Only an experienced dog handler can conquer this breed; an amateur dog breeder cannot handle the task.

The Doberman appeared for the first time in Germany for guard duty. Today they are often used by the military and police. Dobermans have amazing sense of smell and sense of smell. These are very loyal dogs to their owner. They are friendly towards children, peaceful and true "family men".

Despite their moderate temperament, there are frequent cases of Dobermans attacking humans. The fact is that representatives of this breed have poor self-control if they see a threat to their family from a stranger.

In fact, there are no 100% dangerous dog breeds. There are only poorly controlled and tightly built ones. It all depends on the level physical training the owner and his readiness to be the “leader of the pack” in relation to his favorites. Love your dog, train and educate it, and then even the stubborn Ghoul Dong will become an obedient companion!
