10 Scariest Dog Breeds Ever
Like 4 Dislike 0 Published on 6 Jun 2020
Dogs have been bred by humans for a very long time now and there are a crazy amount of different breeds, ranging from tiny little purse dogs to hulking behemoths that seem more like oversized wolves than dogs. We’re going to focus on the latter group and cover what we believe to be the 10 scariest dog breeds ever. While many of these dog breeds have a ferocious reputation, many of them are actually a lot less worrisome than many people think. Dogs are a lot like people and even the scariest of breeds can wind up producing the most loving companions. All it takes is a good home and a gentle touch. That said, it’s probably not a good idea to approach any of these breeds all willy-nilly because if things do go wrong you don’t stand a fighting chance in one on one combat.

Number 10. American Staffordshire Terriers
Also known as the Amstaff, the American Staffordshire terrier is a medium-sized dog, similar to a pit bull. These dogs are renowned for being exceptional fighters and were officially recognized by the United Kennel Club as a new breed in 1969. They were considered to be in the same class as American pit bull terriers before that point. Wildly popular pre-World War II, American Staffordshire terriers began to decline in popularity after the war wrapped up, although they are still relatively popular, especially as guard dogs. As of 2017, the American Stafforshire terrier ranked as the 83rd most popular breed in the US according to the American Kennel Club. Interestingly enough, at the same time it was also found to be the 6th most popular breed in France. Despite their fierce reputation as vicious attack dogs, Amstaffs are actually quite friendly dogs for the most part. They are also smart and loyal. These dogs are also very territorial and protective of any family they’re a part of, springing into action if they feel like their loved ones are in danger. Incredibly muscular, any Amstaff would be able to easily take on a fully grown person and that’s a big part of why they have such a fearsome reputation.
Number 9. Akita
A large dog breed originating from Japan, Akitas look incredibly friendly, but are more than capable of holding their own during a fight. They are amazingly powerful dogs that are very independent. They really couldn’t care less about most strangers, but are also usually overly affectionate with family members, which makes them a great family dog. That said, they’re also great at scaring off any potential predators due to their impressive reputation. There are two main sub-varieties of akita at this point, with the two species being divided between Japanese and American varieties. Most akitas are short-haired, but some have a recessive gene that allows for longer coats. Akitas are also very well-suited to living in cold climates and they typically weigh up to 130 pounds. Males can grow to an average height of around 27 inches and females tend to be an inch or two shorter than that. Often taking a dominant role when around other dogs, akitas can sometimes have issues getting along with other breeds. This can cause problems, as akitas often become aggressive with other dogs with little to no provocation. They also share this trait when it comes to taking on any unwanted visitors, making akitas great guard dogs who are likely to terrify anyone trying to break into your home.
Number 8. Rhodesian Ridgeback
Originally bred in Southern Africa, and especially Zimbabwe, Rhodesian ridgebacks were dedicated hunting dogs that also double as magnificent guard dogs. They’re ridiculously territorial and protective of their pack. Additionally, rhodesian ridgebacks are strong, lean, and muscular, able to both chase down potential prey and defend itself brilliantly. They’re named after the distinctive ridge of hair that extends down their back. One of the most badass dog breeds that has ever lived, Rhodesian ridgebacks were favourites of the boers or Afrikaners, who took over South Africa and set up sprawling farms. These people required protection from wild animals like lions and rhodesian ridgebacks were the perfect solution. They routinely took on predators like lions and many early owners made a point of training them to work as a pack to take down even the largest big cats. Rhodesian ridgebacks fall in the same genetic group as great danes, but were bred with African dogs to create the breed we know today.
