In my experience, Australian cattle dog (Blue Heeler- Blue dogs only) and Chow-Chow's are psycho dogs. One of my favorites is the Pit bull. The last three dogs I've had were two Saluki's and a Whippet. Oh dear.... yeah there more aggressive, like little men when they suffer from short man syndrome. Problem is when one of these bites you dont lose a finger or half your face. Rottweilers, pitbulls on the other hand...... Good point - These little dog would have a swell time trying to rip a throat out. I've got 2 Jacks and this doesn't surprise me one bit, they are fearsome, feisty and seriously funny. I love them, so much character but maybe not a dog to have around children. I'm terribly surprised at the beagle's presence here. In my experience, Australian cattle dog (Blue Heeler- Blue dogs only) and Chow-Chow's are psycho dogs.I'm actually surprised Chow-chows aren't on this list. I've never come across one that isn't completely insane. It seems like their owner is the only person they'll ever be friendly to, and everyone else is the enemy. Now that I think about it, I recall a study a few years ago that concluded mix-breeds were the most dangerous...I don't recall the exact parameters, but I think it was just comparing numbers of bites to breeds. Thus, mix-breeds came out with more by far just by sheer numbers. Regardless, after being bitten on the hand as a kid, I've since always offered my closed fist to sniff when meeting a dog (regardless of breed or apparent mood), so as not to get fingers clamped down on. Besides that, I swear they can smell fear, and usually react with agression...so don't be scared...yeah I know, prolly impossible in some situations. Hi! I agree with this. My flatmate owns 2 dashshounds. I love them.. but when they dont get their own way, or are getting told off they turn pretty nasty. The female is aggressive to other dogs, while the male is aggressive to people. The male usually behaves with me, as im very stern with him. But my flatmate shows she is scared and that makes him worse. He bites and snarls and really goes for you. Not a good dog with children or someone who wont train the dog. I own 2 purebred Chow Chows, Who are the sweetest dogs ever; it really is like owning a real live teddy bear. My parents had a few of them growing up and that's why I wanted one. I have NEVER encountered a mean Chow. Not a stranger's, not any that I or my parents owned... and my parents rescued a 3 year old male that was not neutered from an abusive home. They can be territorial (like any dog), and someone will get a chow and think “These dogs are known for being unfriendly to strangers” then they keep it locked in the yard, never taking it out for walks to introduce it to strangers, or other dogs, i.e. NOT SOCIALIZING it. The trick to having a well behaved dog, no matter what the breed, is... No surprise here... we have three of them. They're very protective and will attack any critter that comes in our yard. My 10 lbs. mini even attacked and chased of a Boxer that was 7x his size. He grabbed it by the hindquarters and didn't let go until it jumped back over the fence. Thankfully they are very warm towards people though. |
