The 6th most dangerous dog breed...

[Salamander Rising]

I dont know, what constitutes the dog being considered "dangerous"?

I mean my dog is dog aggressive to all dogs but my friends(and even then they are watched so nothing happens), would love to get at anything small and fluffy or yappy, as well as cannot be left alone with my cat or anything prey like.. is that dangerous? Or just him being a dog?

I think mainly the protection bred dogs are the real, imo "dangerous" dogs, because they are bred to protect their people/property. Now with proper training and socialization they should be fine unless called on.. but still, I wouldnt trust or just walk up to a PP Dobie/GSD/Mastiff like it was any other dog lol

I dunno, I tend to over think this question.. mainly because my dog, who is da and has a very high prey drive is considered "dangerous" and "bad" and I am looked down on because he is that way, like I did something wrong.. when its just him showing the traits of his breed and his genetic predisposition to be.. nothings wrong with him lol he is great with people and loves children, like a good Pit Bull type. Other dogs and small animals, now thats another story..

I dont have any recent pictures of him with kitties or cute things, because well.. he would rather eat them than sit still for a picture.



Also, that "dangerous breed list" is complete bull, and is based off nothing substantial.

I mean you hear about any "pit bull attack" as soon as it happens, but no one knows that just a few weeks ago a Husky attacked and killed a boy, or the sheer hundreds of reports a year of small breed dogs seriously biting children in the face...
I was bitten in the face by a Cocker and a Chihuahua lol

Along with the Dobermann, I have Ibizan Hounds and a Portuguese Podengo Medio.

The latter two will run down and kill anything that 'acts like prey', except for humans and there's not a single thing I can do to stop them [short of shooting them] once they give chase because they are 'primitive breeds' who were not selected for their human/canine bonding ability or trainability, being expected to work on their own.
[they were created to hunt and kill food, 5000+ years ago]

The Dobermann will not allow anyone he deems 'suspicious' within 15 feet of me.

Which of my dogs are "more dangerous"?

Having said that, I do not personally put any stock in 'dangerous dog lists'.

I've had many Dobes in the past 37 years and not a single one of them was ever 'dangerous' to anyone who didn't desperately deserve it.
In fact, several of them literally saved my life at different times.

FWIW, the Dobermann is the only breed ever created solely for the purpose of 'nailing' humans.

Yet they are infamous for their innate desire to love and protect children.

Mine goes berserk when the neighbors chase their granddaughter and she starts to run, screaming.
He thinks they're attacking her.
