Top 10 Most Aggressive Dogs of the World
Dogs are excellent pets and certainly the most reliable of animals, used for everything from herding sheep to guiding the elderly and the blind. However, some breeds are just too fierce to ever become the cuddly little pets you desire. While some breeds like sheepdogs and Labradors are known for being wonderful for families, some dogs are notorious for their viciousness, and are frequently preferred as guard dogs and nothing else.

American Pit Bull Terrier
This aggressive dog was bred from Bulldogs and Terriers in order to become the perfect fighting dog. The Pit Bull Terrier certainly has no other breed equal to it in this regard. This breed gained attention in the 1980s for its strength and ability to fight for as long as possible. Due to poor training and breeding, Pit Bulls have also been involved in fatal attacks on humans. This aggressive behaviour has caused places like Ontario, Miami-Dade County, Florida, and many other counties, to declare that this breed is illegal to own.

The Rottweiler
This is certainly the most popular breed in the world, and while this is a beautiful and fantastic animal to keep as a pet, it does have the tendency to become aggressive towards other dogs and strangers if it feels that its owner is under any danger.

The Chihuahua
This breed is hard to take seriously owing to its tiny size, but make no mistake; there is a high probability that you will get bitten viciously by this dog than by any other. When a Chihuahua snaps, it becomes extremely aggressive and difficult to manage.
