2. Rottweiler

The Rottweiler is one of the oldest of purebred lines. It was once bred exclusively for herding, but today the Rottweiler is commonly sold illegally for dog fighting purposes.

Rottweilers are rather heavy for their size, and although they are passive most of the time, they do not react well to sharp words, forceful petting, or rapid movement. Children often receive serious bite injuries simply by coming up to close to one of these dogs from behind.

3. Siberian Husky and Malamute

These closely related cousins are two of the oldest bred dogs on earth. They enjoy performing hard work and are usually very tolerant around youngsters. However, their natural instinct to fight for the purpose of self-preservation and for food is also well known.

These animals are rather large, are not especially affectionate, and will bite if startled. They must be treated gently and left alone while they are eating. However, they are very protective of their owners, and most of the biting incidents involve a stranger.

4. Wolf Hybrid

Domesticated dogs are the descendants of wolves. By nature, wolves are natural born hunters and have a keen instinct for survival based on the availability of food. Just like wolves, wolf hybrids can quickly and efficiently carry out an attack on a small animal.

Although they are not known as killers, wolf hybrids are dangerous around children. They do not like to be petted and consider any attempt at physical contact as an act of aggression. It has proven to be virtually impossible to breed this instinct out, even after centuries of trying.
