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

11. Akita dog

The mountainous region of northern Japan is where the giant Akita breed first emerged. Akitas may appear calm and subdued at first, but underneath their massive fur and coiled tails lie large, bulky dogs. Akitas are friendly and affectionate with people they like, but not so much with strangers or other animals. In fact, if an Akita is not properly socialized or trained to spend time with people outside of their normal social environment, they can become dangerous. Extensive training can help mitigate some risks, including those that many of the breeds on this list have to deal with.
