What dog breed kills the most people each year?

Answer 1

Any dog can, especially those dogs that have been treated so inhumanely that it feels it's only defense is to attack a human, or have not be socialized at all, or have been taught by their owners that it's okay to be so nasty and vicious to strangers.

Answer 2

Any dog can potentially kill you. However, there are "bully breeds," which are prone to aggressive or dominant behavior if raised improperly. These include the well-known stereotypical 'guard dogs' such as Pit-bull Terriers (commonly called Pit Bulls for short), Bulldogs, Presa Canarios, and Rottweilers.

Since every breed of dog may or may not bite when prompted, these breeds are especially known for their attacks due to the breeds' standard of powerful jaws and large muscle mass, making it very hard to resist or escape when they decide to bite. Because of these attributes, they are often inbred by dog fighters. These people breed the fighters in order to produce the strongest, most aggressive puppies with a high will to survive, since most of the dogs put in fighting rings are fighting to the death.

Less acknowledged dogs that are prone to snapping or biting are Dachshunds and Rat Terriers, who are very unlikely to do enough damage to kill, for obvious reasons, but may inflict high damage.

An average of 28 people die every year from dog attacks in the USA, which is a minuscule amount in contrast with the population (although very large losses to their friends and family, god bless them.)

Many aggression problems develop as the result of lack of exercise, lack of mental stimulation, or being trapped inside for extended periods of time. When a dog is not exercised, he builds up energy and excitement and has no way to let it out. The dog will often channel that built-up tension and energy into jumpy, aggressive actions. If it is kept up, these actions will become habits, and major behavioral aggression issues may make themselves regularly known. These will most likely require professional help to expel, but people who believe the behavior is irreversible are told to get their dog euthanized. It is very important to exercise your pet.

Keep in mind that no breed of dog should rightfully be labelled as killers, and very few attacks lead to death. Many attacks are the fault of the human (teasing the dog, abusing the dog), but the others cannot be foreseen (approaching stray or off-leash dogs is very risky unless you are familiar with the dog; also, dogs who are rescued from a shelter may have been abused previously, and may be scared, wary, or defensive to the extent of biting people who invade their space, and strangers.) While I do not deny that a handful of breeds have higher odds of developing behavioral problems, those same breeds have an equal amount of well-raised, unaggressive dogs who are placed in the stereotype of general fighters, even though countless numbers live happily as family dogs.

Answer 3

According to DogsBite.org , a non-profit organization and national dog bite victims' group that tracks canine attacks in the USA, from 2005 to 2016, 392 Americans were killed by dogs in that 12-year period. 65% of those deaths were due to pitbulls, making pitbulls, by far, the breed responsible for the largest number and highest percentage of dog bite fatalities in the USA

Answer 4

I believe, Wolves,Tigers,Bears,Lions, Any Big Carnivore Eater. And that travels in a pack. If it is hungry and enraged. It's most likely to attack. Or if you walk past their boundary.

Answer 5

This depends on the wolf. A Red Wolf could be outmatched by a German Shepard but a Grey Wolf would require something like a Mastiff.

Answer 6

yes there are a few Dog Breeds that can kill people such as the Pitbull, and Rottweilers (can kill you if u hurt its owners) So you have to be very careful about those dogs!
