What is the least vicious dog breed2007-11-25 2:52:43

Seriously, it is unwise to generalize to much, as breeding, interaction, and environment will probably compose 90% of the likelihood of aggressiveness.

Everybody who said "no such thing as a non vicious breed" is correct. That said, many "experts" tend to suggest golden retrievers/Labrador retrievers for homes with children. so I am gunna go with Retrievers (again though, no guarantee just better odds)

Here's a tip. Be cruel to a dog=vicious dog. Be sweet and kind a dog= nice and well-behaved dog. So really it depends on you. if you buy it from a breeder It depends on you if you adopt it from the shelter or find it on the street it depends on its past. But any mean dog can be turned into a kind dog. it just takes time and patice. Hope this helps.=)

There is not such thing as a least vicious dog breed any dog can be vicious it is based on the training and socialization of the dog. I would not recommend a Chihuahua, Pit Bull, Rottweiler, Doberman Pincher, or Miniature Pincher.

I raise (12)Saint Bernard's they have never even snarled at a fly!

Less VICIOUS? It all depends on how you TREAT the dog as to how he/she acts.

I can own a Pit Bull and 99.99999% guarentee you the dog will be just as sweet and gentle as my Black Lab.

Any breed of dog can be a vicious killer, likewise any breed of dog can be as gentle as a teddy bear. Temperment is hereditary but the upbringing of the dog plays a HUGE roll in how they act. An owner must teach a dog proper household manners and let them know what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. Likewise the owner must know how to properly discipline their dog, for example never hitting the dog. Striking a dog can cause them to lash out. So even though a dogs temperment is determined through its breeding the owner is the one and only one who can make it a vicious dog.

Strangly enough English Bull Dogs have one of the sweetest tempermants. But you can find a good dog regardless of their breed i have a cattle dog mix shes a sweetheart one of my friends has a pure bred pitt bull and she wouldnt hurt a fly shes very submissive. Just dont assume a certain breed of dog is vicious just because of the stereotypes. There are dogs that were trained to be mean and have those traits like the pittbull, rotwieler etc but all of them if raised in a loving and social home can turn out to be the most loving dogs ever. if youre looking for a dog you should check the local animal shelters and humane societies stray dogs tend to be the best type because theyve been on the street and know what a good life really means and theyll be your best friend plus youll help save a dogs life :D dont go just for the breed either go for the dogs personality. Muts rule!

There is no such thing as a vicious dog...it's how well they are socialized and treated.
