Rottweilers
Before pit bulls gained their well-known reputation as dangerous, the rottweiler was first on the list of most dangerous dog breeds. These powerhouses can easily grow up to 120 pounds and still remain in good health.
They are quite large and have a temper that can easily break bad when something goes south. To be more specific, they are quite friendly and protective of those in their own home. But that protection doesn’t always include any guests.
German Shepherds
German Shepherds are known to be workers with a history in law enforcement and the military. They are the smartest, most powerful, strongest, and most dangerous dogs, with the capacity to easily inflict deadly attacks.
On average, they weigh around 90 pounds and can reach a height of 2 feet. They are also an amazing asset against human threats, especially after many generations of breeding that made them one of the most effective weapons. While German Shepherds can be quite aggressive and territorial, they also account for plenty of non-fata bites. Luckily, they can be easily trained.

Being the owner of 2 Pit Bulls, I strongly disagree. They are gentle and loving to both other animals and people of all ages. It’s the owners who don’t let them socialize and train them (all it takes is to be the Alfa and like with any other dog, be consistent). It’s the owners who train to be aggressive are at fault.
It depends on how you raise them also ! We had 2 Rottweilers as puppies until age 6 and 10 with young children. Now we have a mixed breed pitbull territory and a pitbull black lab.
We have a Chiweenie (Chihuahua-Daschund). It’s a breed NOT meant for children or busy families. They’ll suit a calm, quiet, warm environment with lots of blankets and small toys where they can be the center of attention perfectly.
If you have cats, that’s not a problem. They’ll get along wonderfully with them.
Explains my mixed Chihuahua/weiner dog . She is VERY possessive when it comes to me. Never had a dog so unwilling to share me with my poodle. They are the same size and she has gotten better but when it comes time to share the bed, she scares her sister (the poodle) to death. She’ll finally let up and allows the poodle to groom her face..
My first pit bull…sweetest dog ever. My Shih tzu that passed away was the only dog that we had to put a muzzle on at the vet. My poodle that the family had was the meanest dog ever would bite a stranger..very protective.
Note , all dogs are inherently dangerous and will bite without warning . This is particularly true of smaller breeds as this is their only defence . That said , it depends more on how the dog is raised . Those raised gently with love return that love in kind . I have had three boxers that look intimidating at first appearance but are extremely loving and protective of their family , my children grew up with them and were protected by them at times in conflict with playmates and even when being scolded by an adult .
I have had two Hybrid McKenzie Wolves who were loving and gentle especially around children . Pets return the love they receive they also remember those who would abuse them . If given the option , they avoid those people , aggression is their last resort .
