What breeds of dogs tend to be aggressive2007-11-25 2:50:38

Not looking for a guard dog, but what breeds of dogs tend to be aggressive toward their owners?

Answers:

Any dog that is treated as a fur- baby rather than a dog. Also any dog that has not been trained, socialized and one that has no understanding who the pack leader is in the home.

So basically it can be any breed and those naming breeds are only doing so out of lack of knowledge.

rottweilers and pitbulls

pitbulls, and any high energy dogs that are left alone for long periods of times, bored out of their minds!! (Border Collie, Jack Russel.. really HIGH ENERGY dogs)

---

Actually it is not rotts or pitts the most reported cases were from terriors mostly jack russell then chows were 2nd

First of all...Rotties and Pits do not naturally have the tendancy to be aggressive...BUT any dog can turn on its owner due to how it has been treated...I own a rottie, a pit and 3 boxers and not once have I had them turn on me...it all depends on how you treat them and if you actually go through training with them!

all dogs that were bred badly, that are mistreated, and that are alowed to be the dominant in the household! ANY BREED!

Some breeds have more dominant traits and I wouldnt recomend one to an inexperienced owner. Pitts, German shepherds, dobermans, rottweilers, chows, akitas, belgian malinois, Dutch shepherds... They are all wonderful dogs but can be a bad choice for a first time dog owner. Not because they are agressive, but due to their size, if you do get one with some issues, and dont have the experience on how to fix it, they can be very hard to handle. Regardless of the breed you need to be in control.

Hello..any kind of dog can & will be agressive..no matter the breed..especially if mistreated, yelled or run at ..etc..best things to remember, is to treat a dog as you would want to be treated which I assume is good, kind & well , no one likes being yelled at & when around strangers..hopefully you are cautious too, same with dogs..as is said too " There are no bad dogs just bad owners !" & that's most often the truth...Take Care :)

All dogs are pack animals and are not naturally aggressive toward their "pack leader" If you see an aggressive dog you can be sure he was either made that way by abuse or is a product of "backyard breeders" the worst people imaginable. so when buying a dog, make sure you get one from a reputable breeder who guarantees the animals health and temperment.

It all depends on the dogs nature and their upbringing. We have a Jack Russel, we we keep real busy, and he has a great nature. Remember all dogs are basically a couple of steps away from being a wolf, so all have the potential to be aggressive if they feel threatened, or they are abused.

As a matter of fact, rottweilers are very sweet dogs. Most of what determines a dog's tendency towards aggression is the manner in which it was raised. Pitt bulls are hardly ever aggressive towards their owners. They do tend to have a higher rate of dog aggression, however. Breeds such as Chows, Shar Peis, and other Asian dog breeds tend to be aggressive, and should be avoided for novice dog owners. Labradors, Great Danes, Weimarainers, Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds are all nice dog breeds. (German Shepherds tend to be protective). With proper training and socialization, almost all puppies have the potential to be manageable, non-aggressive dogs.

Any dog could be aggressive make sure you raise them by being consistent and hands on but breeds that are prone to it are dogs breeds like Shepard's. rott's, doberman, terrier's, but these dogs are great dogs you just have to be a great parent in raising them. One man's option so good luck and give love to any dog you get. Thanks M.M.

Its really not a specific breed!..its just how u treat a dog and how you play with them..if a dog is not properly taken care of and abused it will turn doesnt matter what breed. Choose a dog that is right for your family, living conditions and lifestyle and that will have the lowest probability of a dog turning!
