They are their best friends. They tenderly love each other. Sometimes they eat together, sleep together, and go for walks together. I’m more of a cat person, but I can’t sit still when I see little puppies or big dogs with big soft fur. I want to hug them, play with them, and give them some of my love and tenderness too. I’ve also seen many adult dogs of different breeds worth praise and true admiration. They are clever, sociable, and funny when you want to play; calm and patient with kids. And they’re something I can’t credit to cats: they are faithful. <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img844/7829/image001sgd.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Personally,  I don’t know any dog that would bite without warning or just snap. It’s  my firm belief that behavior of the dog doesn’t depend on its breed so  much as it being the right training and the “master” that matter. In my  opinion, humans are most often responsible for dangerous dogs. That  said, there might be some truth in the idea that some breeds have more  unstable temperaments than others, but knowing this we should never  provoke them.    Think  for a minute and analyze your own life. Are we always polite? I can  think of several situations when I would have gladly slapped a man in  the face, but thank God I’m weak enough and I can control myself (at  least I think that I can). Now think about animals. They have instincts  too, and they may forget about good manners. It’s not as if they  understand them in the same ways we do.    It’s  also important for dog owners to protect both other people and their  dogs from unexpected circumstances and thus the unpleasant situations.  For example, when going outside, they could always use a dog-lead and a  muzzle. They could be careful and not let the dog play on its own  without a leash, especially when there are other people around. When you  have a dog, you become forever responsible for the animal you’ve  trained and tamed.    In  any case, it’s good to know what breeds of dogs might be most  dangerous, just to keep yourself safe. Sometimes the danger in a dog  isn’t even a nasty personality, but a matter of them not knowing their  own strength. Even though I personally still find it hard to believe  that breed alone deems a dog “dangerous,” you never know what a dog’s  owner has taught it. The research into the most dangerous dogs included  below was performed by the American Veterinary Medical Association, the  CDC, and the Humane Society of the United States. We’ll start with least  dangerous of the bunch. Sorry, but there won’t be any terrifying photos  today. Dalmatian Origin: Balkans, India, Middle Ages Weight: 40-70 lbs Height:  20-24 inches Dalmatians are active and energetic dogs, loving to be outdoors. They are very playful and love running.    There’s  still no definite info about what this breed was originally bred for.  This is the first dotted breed in Europe, Asia and Africa. They were  serving as warriors, hunters, and shepherds before finally becoming the  symbol of the English fireman. <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img137/7679/image002ir.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img831/7454/image003n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Boxer Origin: Germany, 1850-ies Weight: 50-64 lbs Height:  20-25 inches The  boxer is a very strong “square” dog. Boxers love to walk, but the owner  should never forget the leash. It’s also better to refrain from  aggressive games. Still, boxers recognize all members of the family and  can play well with the children.    The  boxer breed was bred in feudal Germany and dates back to the line of  bulldogs that existed in Europe in the XVI century. Its ancestors were  used in hunting wild boars and other big wild animals. The first puppy  in a new breed was given a name “Box.” Boxers qualities, such as their  strength, were highly valued by farmers and shopkeepers. <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img202/7020/image004dfv.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img137/1029/image005db.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Presa Canario Origin:Canary Islands, Africa Weight: 100-125 lbs Height:  25-26 inches The  Presa Canario hails from the Canary Islands, where the dogs were  trained for hunting and for war. During the 18th century, English  traders and merchants came to the Canary Islands, bringing with them  their working and gladiator dogs, notably the Mastiff of England and the  Bulldog. Englishmen also brought with them their traditions of pit  fighting for which their breeds and the island dogs were inevitably  mixed and eventually bred to produce the ultimate fighter. Nowadays the  breed is used for guarding and the handling and driving of cattle.    The  dogs of this breed can be gentle and noble with their families, showing  great affection to their owners, and being suspicious of strangers. <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img251/2369/image006od.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img843/8629/image007id.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Saint Bernard Origin: Switzerland, Middle Ages Weight: 110-180 lbs Height:  24-29 inches Saint  bernards are amazingly big and easygoing dogs, but due to their  impressive size they can look a bit awkward. They are quiet and  peaceful, love children and are not built for active and rapid games.  Saint bernards will need all of your attention, so if you spend days in  the office, this dog is not for you. They are tremendously strong and,  of course, they require a good bit of space.    Most  likely, the ancestor of the Saint Bernard was the Alpine Mastiff, which  was a pretty aggressive breed. They were used as working dogs and  scouts. Nowadays they are considered excellent home companions. <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img837/7546/image008v.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img834/2558/image009f.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Great Dane Origin: Germany, Middle Ages – XIX century Weight: 90-120 lbs Height:  27-32 inches Great  danes are beautiful and majestic animals, with a gentle and loving  nature. They love to play with children and participate in all family  events and activities, especially in the outdoors. They are happy to go  for a walk and don’t mind the company of other dogs, and despite their  gigantic size Great Danes can even feel quite at home in a city.    In the middle ages, these dogs were used for dog fighting and for hunting big mammals. <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img339/406/image010hk.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img826/5126/image011s.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Chow Chow Origin: China, antiquity Weight: 40-65 lbs Height:  18-22 inches The  chow chow is an independent dog often focused only on its own needs.  Chow chows need constant physical activity and communication, even if  they don’t seem to like being disturbed much.    Chow chows were bred for hunting and helping shepherds. <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img713/272/image012l.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img831/5438/image013qx.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Doberman Pinscher Origin: Germany, XIX century Weight: 65-90 lbs Height:  26-28 inches Doberman  pinschers (often just called dobermans) are dogs that were originally  bred to protect and defend. It is important to avoid any type of  aggressive play and struggle with these dogs, instead letting the games  be guided to develop the doberman’s intelligence. Even though they  aren’t small dogs, dobermans can adapt to life in a city and become a  perfect companion for the experienced, physically active owner.    This  breed was bred in Germany by Louis Doberman who decided to combine the  qualities of guard dogs and and the terrier. Luis was a policeman and  needed a dog that would devotedly defend its owner. <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img843/9939/image014uv.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img697/1313/image015qj.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Alaskan Malamute Origin: North America, ancient times Weight: 80-110 lbs Height:  23-28 inches The  malamute is a friendly dog, but it has rather an independent temper.  It’s better to keep this dog in a village, far from the city. Sometimes  violent and energetic, they constantly need to move or play. It’s a  working breed where the dogs are used to a cold climate, so if you don’t  live in the deep north, make your malamute a nice playground as they  are always in need of physical activity.    The name was given to the breed by a local tribe which used the malamute to transport goods on a sleigh. <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img842/7932/image016p.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img831/4097/image017o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Husky Origin: Siberia, ancient times Weight: 35-55 lbs Height:  20-24 inches The  training of a husky is a complicated thing, and this dog is not  recommended for beginning dog owners. Initially these dogs were used to  transport goods on a sleigh. Not afraid of cold weather, they’re very  active and loving dogs. The love to get together with other members of  their breed and howl at the moon. <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img840/9796/image018e.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img413/9404/image019rp.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> German Shepherd Origin: Germany, XIX century Weight: 70-85 lbs Height:  22-26 inches German  shepherds are very beautiful dogs, distinguished from other breeds by  their reliable and obedient temper. They are in need of constant and  serious physical activity though, and they seem to give preference to  long walks and active games.    Originally  (as obvious from the name), the dogs were used for grazing sheep. They  are great home guards and often participate in programs for the  disabled. <img src="http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/4940/image020i.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img814/5179/image022v.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Rottweiler Origin: Germany, 1820-ies Weight: 85-110 lbs Height:  23-27 inches Rottweilers  are powerful dogs with strong jaws, primarily meant to protect. The  breed was bred especially for that purpose. They often don’t like  strangers and other dogs — they are guards at heart, and the dog owner  should always remember that. <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img682/7540/image022wa.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img822/6067/image023g.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Pit bull Origin: US, XIX century Weight: 30-55 lbs Height:  18-22 inches The pit bull was bred especially for dog fighting and, sad as it is, they’re still used for this purpose today. <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img827/8953/image024s.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://a.imageshack.us/img801/766/image025y.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </blockquote>
