Most dangerous dog?


So, after all of this, what is the most dangerous type of dog? It's complicated, but according to study after study, and when controlling for outside factors in individual dogs including training, early experiences, and excitability, the most aggressive and dangerous type of dog across the board, accountable for the vast majority of fatal attacks, is the intact male — independent of breed.

I never met Seamus but I like him a lot better than his owner.

I could participate better in a Most Dangerous Republican thread.

a Border Collie/ Aussie mixed breed, turned out to be the best dog ever, (for physically active people, and, who can give the dog a lot of attention and exercise!) !!! Definitely not for the average person!)

and he turned out to be much more polite than other dogs left intact.
