Statistics show that there are approximately 4.5 million dogs in the UK, and around 2% of them have been involved in attacks since 1991. The following list of dangerous dog breeds does not include all breeds, but it does contain some of the most common ones to be involved in attacks.
Types Of Dog Attacks
Dangerous dogs can be unpredictable, and any dog can become aggressive if it is provoked or feels threatened. The most common types of attacks from dogs include:
Attacks on other animals – such as cats, guinea pigs and rabbits
Attacks on people – including those who own the dog (e.g., a child being bitten by their family pet) and those who do not own the dog (e.g., children being bitten near a playground).
Most Dangerous Breeds Of Dogs
The following are the most dangerous breeds of dogs based on statistics from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).
The AVMA has conducted a study to determine which dog breeds bite and injure people the most. The study used data from January 1, 1979 through December 31, 1998. The researchers looked at the records of 238 different breeds of dogs to see how many were involved in attacks that injured at least one person.

The most dangerous breeds of dogs are not the ones you might think they are. While there are certainly some large, powerful breeds that can be aggressive, there are also many smaller dogs that have been known to attack and kill children and adults alike. There is no one single breed that is inherently more dangerous than another, but there are certain characteristics that seem to make certain breeds more likely to behave aggressively toward people.
Here are the top 10 most dangerous dog breeds in the world:
1) Pit Bull
2) Rottweiler
3) German Shepherd
4) Chihuahua
5) Husky
6) Labrador Retriever
7) Boxer
8) Doberman Pinscher
9) Chow Chow
10) Alaskan Malamute
The most dangerous dog breeds are the ones that have a strong predatory instinct and a strong prey drive. Most dogs will not attack humans without provocation, but some breeds just can’t help themselves.
These dogs may be kept as pets and may even be considered family members by their owners, but when they see other animals or people as prey, there’s nothing you can do to stop them. It’s in their nature.
While all dogs can bite and some of them will bite more often than others, there are certain breeds that are more likely to cause serious injury or death if they attack. Here are some of the most dangerous dog breeds in America:
Pitbulls: This is one of the most common types of dog on this list because pitbulls were originally bred to fight other dogs in pits (hence their name). They were also used for hunting large game such as bears and wild boar. Pitbulls are very loyal and protective of their owners but can be aggressive towards other animals and people if they feel threatened.
Rottweilers: Rottweilers are another popular breed that has been bred for fighting since Roman times when dogs were used for entertainment purposes like gladiator battles between man
The Labrador Retriever is the most popular breed of dog in the United States. According to American Kennel Club (AKC) registration statistics, there are more than 185,000 registered Labradors in the U.S., which is nearly three times as many as the second most popular breed, German Shepherds.
Labrador Retrievers are friendly, easygoing and easy to train — traits that make them a popular choice for families with children. Because of their gentle nature and lack of aggression, Labradors are also among the most popular service dogs used by people with disabilities
