They are unfairly condemned in advance: Dog breeds that are considered aggressive, but are not

These dogs have reached the list of "dangerous" and "undesirable" thanks to insufficient information and inadequate socialization, and what is most fatal for them is neglect and boredom

We've all heard the infamous stories about certain breeds of dogs that we should definitely stay away from, whether they're on a leash, let loose, or behind a fence. Because of the same breeds, the alarm must be raised if there is an aggressive outburst of the dog.

The reasons for this fear are usually historical (the purpose that dog once served), the size of a certain breed, as well as the problematic behavior of those dogs in the past (caused by poor training).

There are breeds of dogs with a weak character, prone to aggression, which should not be kept near children, strangers, or allowed to walk freely among others. However, the breeds mentioned by Apetit.rs, due to insufficient information, have reached the list of "dangerous dogs".

Rottweiler

This is a large, highly intelligent and sometimes intimidating dog that needs a lot of physical activity and attention as it does not like to be alone. He got a place on the list of dangerous dogs because of statistics - the highest number of bites. "Caka" is that he can be temperamental if he is not shown who is the boss. His early socialization is important, and besides that, he must not be neglected, that is, left to himself. If left alone for too long, the Rottweiler will show destructive behavior which, with its size, character and strength, is not at all desirable.

The Rottweiler is recommended for experienced and extremely dedicated owners.

German Shepherd Dog

The German shepherd is one of the most intelligent dogs in the world, and many will argue that they are at the very top of this list. Precisely because of their abilities, German shepherds are most often used as police and military dogs, which creates a wrong image of them for many people. This breed is incredibly devoted to its family, loves children and is also a great guardian of the home. What can "go wrong" when it comes to raising this dog is insufficient training and socialization. Namely, these dogs require a lot of physical and mental activity. In other words, they like to be "busy", i.e. occupied with something.

 

Doberman

Due to its not at all naive size, but also its historical use as a guard dog, the Doberman instills fear in the bones of many people. However, it is a dog very attached to its family, which loves attention and "participation" in the life of its owners. He can't stand being alone and is not a dog you can keep alone outside. He is very intelligent, but needs socialization from an early age. If you don't work with him constantly - if you neglect him at some point in his life - he will develop aggressive behavior, which, be sure, he is capable of.

If you are not experienced and ready to devote yourself to this dog as much as possible, do not take it as a pet.

Great Dane

For people who don't understand dogs that much, the very mention of the Great Dane causes a shudder; solely because they are gigantic and look scary. However, it is known in the dog world that this breed is not aggressive. Great Danes are loyal to their family and are excellent watchdogs (which was their purpose in history). This breed has not been recorded to have aggressive outbursts, nor does it tend to. The only important thing is that, due to their incredible size, they need a lot of physical activity, commitment and space.

Bull terrier

Bull terriers are first on this infamous list, and they got a bad reputation not because of their size, but because they were created for dog fighting (a gruesome pastime of cruel people), which leads many to think that they are generally aggressive dogs. In real life, it is quite the opposite: with early socialization, a bull terrier will show friendliness towards strangers, children and other dogs. The key in raising this dog is to give it a lot of activity, because in moments of boredom, due to its stubbornness, it can do a lot of damage.
