Without fear of chicken counting, it will receive a lot of traffic. And without any element of doubt, it might cause ripples but it needs to be out there, for the public to know. We’ve decided to publicly name the five MOST dangerous dogs on the planet.The Most Dangerous Dogs in the Worldin reverse order:5. Badly fed dog.Badly fed dog is the animal who’s been fuelled up with a diet fit for an Olympic weight lifter, but who only ever gets to expend about 20% of the calories he takes in. He’s got lots of energy and his mismatched diet can manifest in bouts of sudden energetic rampaging. Badly fed dog would ask you to consider; how you would feel spending your day in an office when every inch of your body is throbbing and twitching as you crave the opportunity to actually use up some of those excess calories. Badly fed dog would be happier and safer if his diet reflected his lifestyle.4. Never had any friends dog.Otherwise known as ‘totally under socialised dog’.He was a little naughty when he was a puppy, so his owner decided he’d be better off being kept away from all other forms of animal life. He now spends his days obsessing over what it would be like to chase other dogs around and, by George, one of these days he’s gonna actually do it!Never had any friends dog is going to present his owner with a lifetime of problems, he has no social skills and has never had a chance to learn natural interaction through the teachings of his own kind. He’ll meet new dogs and will be about as socially adept as a 45-year old virgin at a Playboy mansion party. He’s going to blow it. Big time.3. Shouty.Shouty is the dog who has spent most of his life shouting at folks or being shouted at himself. He sees people on his street, he shouts at them. In turn, his owner shouts at him. Shouty presumes being shouted at is a recognition of his excellent work. In fact, hearing his owner shouting in response to his own shouting encourages his assumption that they’re just as upset, anxious, nervous, angry as HE is about the audacity of other people/dogs/pigeons to walk past his window. Shouty is relentlessly encouraged and endorsed in his shouty behaviour and, a bit like no friends dog, shouty spends his days imaging how good it will be when he FINALLY gets his chance to get face to face with the objects of his ire.2. House proud.House proud dog is SO touchy about people coming to his digs unannounced, he’ll happily maim you for your insolence in trying to visit his abode without obtaining the correct visitation paperwork.House proud dog does a line in dishing out injuries to posties, meter readers and delivery people. Fortunately for house proud dog, his owners absolutely REFUSE to believe he is capable of violence, so leave him completely unattended to dish out his own brand of justice to anyone brash enough to consider entering his domain.1. Spoilt dog.“That’s mine and these are mine, those are mine, I’m entitled to that, I believe that I saw that first, I lay claim to those, I own all of these, I’m the rightful proprietor of this…”Welcome to the world of spoilt dog. Quite simply, he believes everything he wants, he can have. Woe betide anyone to tell him differently. His timid owners have never had the heart to let him know that in the human world, simply showing your teeth and growling doesn’t constitute a legal contract on the ownership of goods. They let him off and, worse, they let him keep his spoils, which he’ll gather up and place in his own corner of the world.Sadly, spoilt dog is, one day, going to meet someone who is unaware that he has previously laid claim to every possession on earth. Unfortunately, unlike spoilt dog’s owners, this person is going to have to find out the hard way just how deep spoilt dog’s sense of entitlement runs. Really hard luck if it happens to be a youngster, blissfully ignorant to the fact that the shiny ball on the floor is spoilt dog’s most prized possession (at that VERY moment). A few stitches and a spell in hospital ought to serve as a permanent reminder though.[What? You didn't think there was a such a thing as a list of 'dangerous dog breeds' did you? Pffft.]PS: End bsl.You know it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mace Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) It's amazing how they rarely accept that some dogs have a genetic predisposition for aggression, it's always the owners fault turning an otherwise lovely dog into a land shark?. A few years ago now, a friend had a dog aggressive Labrador who just hated strange dogs otherwise he was a great dog, good with people, kids, friendly and affectionate but hated other dogs. We traced it back to find the sire of the litter was also DA, but was said to be caused by a bad experience and he was bred on that basis. Not all his progeny over three litters were DA, but four were that we found out about, one in every litter, two in one litter all males, the females were ok? Our friend had 6 Labs over an 18 year period and never had a DA problem to address ever, except this boy which was clearly in the dog's genetics, nothing to do with raising and training, he was just aggressive towards other dogs by default?

piper Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 There is no such thing as a genetically agressive dog.. sorry I dont buy it.. its like saying there is a gene for being a spoilt brat... (Unless the dog has a mental illness.. does that even occur in dogs? i'd assume it would??) Yes some dogs are mentally unbalanced and that can mean aggression. I have seen young puppies with extreme aggression and ok a lot of training might improve it but I doubt you would ever feel safe with them. I do agree though that the vast majority are a product of their environment. That is the best list of aggressive dog types I have seen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unless the dog has a mental illness.. does that even occur in dogs? i'd assume it would??) There most certainly is a genetic component. Which is why temperament in breeding dogs is so important, and why some dogs are more suited to certain jobs than others. And then sometimes things just go wrong and you end up with a dog with poor nerve, fear aggression, dog aggression, etc. But that is not what this thread is about..

I have a weak nerved mini schnauzer. She was abused but so were her litter mates. They grew up in exactly the same environement and stayed with a foster carer when rescued. Lucy was the only one to show any fear. I can't believe that anyone would say that genetics had nothing to do with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unless the dog has a mental illness.. does that even occur in dogs? i'd assume it would??) Technically, it is about the consequences of a dog being fearful or frustrated in a given situation. The threshold and subsequent response (e.g. aggression) certainly does have a genetic component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megan_ Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 where does that statisctic come from gussy's mum? HAve you researched genetics in dogs? If your stat is true, we should tell people that they don't need to worry about the temp of their pups parents and breeders should be okay to breed from extremely aggressive dogs (including those that attack humans) because, hey, it isn't genetic.
