Let’s take a look at the top dog breeds involved in the most serious attacks.
7. Chows
Chow Chows are easily recognizable with their blue, black tongues, an expression that could be described as an ad frown, and a strong sense of independence. Usually, they immediately show loyalty to their families, and they are known to be wary or aggressive towards strangers.
They do have a territorial nature, and even if they offer a sense of protection, they may not be the best choice for families with young children or frequent visitors. 67 reported attacks caused bodily harm between 1982 and today, so an average of 1,9 attacks per year, and 8 of these incidents ended in a fatality.
They can be devoted and affectionate with the ones close to them, but their temperament needs proper training, and this is why they can be a challenging breed for dog owners with no experience.
