In the United States alone, aggressive dog breeds have been responsible for as many as 35 deaths in people each year. Although statistics on aggressive dog behavior towards other dogs aren’t available, the number of aggressive incidents involving dogs is likely to be much higher. The following is a list of the most aggressive dog breeds with respect to attacks on people.
American Pit Bull Terrier
There are many sweet natured Pit Bulls out there, but most of them show aggressive dog behavior towards other canines. They were bred to fight, and they still have that instinct to argue with other dogs. This is a serious problem because their powerful jaws can cause a lot of damage.

German shepherd
This dog is appreciated for its intelligence, spirit of observation and strength. German shepherds help in the search for criminals, drugs, weapons and bombs. They learn to obey orders easily. But many people have also been injured when attacked by members of this breeds. As a rule, the German shepherd doesn’t attack without reason, but there were cases when they attacked their own masters because of incorrect training. This is why any trainer needs to be careful with these dogs. Often, during the pursuit of an offender, a German shepherd may cause him deadly injuries.
Papillon
These tiny dogs have a difficult character. They can bite the man’s hand or a finger. The small jaws don’t permit the dog to make life-threatening bites. However, papillins get agitated easily, and are quick to attack and bitePapillons have a history of attacking passers-by during a walk, so it is advisable to put them on a leash.
Akita
The Akita’s ancestors were hunting dogs which were crossed with other types to create a strong and courageous fighting animal. They are very territorial and are reserved with unfamiliar people. They are dominant when interacting with other dogs, and they don’t get on with other dogs they haven’t met before. A novice dog owner will have trouble managing their dog aggression.
Perro de Presa Canario
The Perro de Presa Canario is a large dog that was originally bred for working livestock. The name of the breed is Spanish and it means “Canarian catch dog”. Presas require early socialization and obedience training. In some situations, the Presa can be aggressive toward other dogs and suspicious of strangers.
Wolf Hybrid
The Wolf Hybrid, or Wolfdog, results from the crossing of a domestic dog with a wolf. The genetic makeup of the offspring can be quite random, which means their behavior is unpredictable. Individual animals may have behavioral characteristics that are like those of the wolf, while others behave more like domestic dogs. It is thought that the aggressive dog behavior shown by the wolf hybrid is predatory. Certainly this can be backed up by statistics showing that more wolf dog attacks are on small children rather than adults.
