10 Dog Breeds Most Likely to Bite Humans

It's crucial to note that a dog's behavior is often a result of their training, treatment, or fear rather than their innate personality. Therefore, we must approach the issue with sensitivity and understanding.

1. Rottweiler

Large, powerful dogs that were bred to be cattle dogs are rottweilers. They are among the dogs that are most prone to bite a human due to their strong jaws and protective instincts.

2. Tosa Inu

Although the majority of these dogs are amiable, many people are afraid of them due to their size, strength, and terrible bites.

3. Cocker Spaniel

Despite their cuteness, cocker spaniels are quickly agitated and will bite or attack if they feel threatened.

4. Chihuahua

Unbelievably, some of the most violent dog breeds include chihuahuas. If they didn't have a nasty tendency of biting people, how do you believe they came by the moniker "ankle biter"?

5. Terriers

Terriers are known for having fiery personalities and have historically been used for hunting rats and other tiny vermin.

6. Siberian Husky

While Siberian Huskies are enthusiastic and affectionate, their personalities are utterly unpredictable.

7. Pit Bulls

Because of how the media has depicted this species, there is a lot of stigmas attached to them. True Pit Bulls don't typically make for dangerous dogs, according to a large number of controlled research.

8. German Shepherd

These canines aren't afraid to bite someone in order to protect their families or themselves because they were bred to be guard dogs.

9. Bullmastiff

Another large, powerful dog, this one with the ability to change behavior quickly from being amiable and well-behaved to growling and biting.
