The 38 Most Dangerous Dog Breeds In The World You Should Know About

19. Boerboel

Boerboels weigh between 120 and 200 pounds, but often underestimate their strength. They were bred to protect their families and hunt prey for survival, which makes them courageous and devoted to their owners. With a name that means "farmer's dog," this breed is fiercely dedicated. They will protect their family at all costs, but can also become aggressive if they sense danger. Boerboels can revert to their aggressive survival mode if their prey, humans, appear to be in danger. The American Kennel Club encourages caution, early socialization, and training for new dog owners.
