No matter where you land on the subject of nature versus nurture you have to realize that statistically certain dogs are more prone to violence than others. Now, we agree that a well trained dog will be a beautiful creature no matter what breed it is, but unfortunately not all dogs get the right dog obedience training and a dog that isn’t trained properly is dangerous, irrespective of size. So we decided to go through some dog breeds that need consideration before you bring them home.
Tibetian Mastiff
The Tibetian Mastiff is that of an ancient Tibetian breed. They are primarily used as a livestock guardian and shepherd. The tribes of Himachai Pradesh use these dogs to protect their property from bears, wolves and leopards. You need to be firm and set boundaries, introduce your dog to other dogs at an early age and make sure to give them lots of exercise.
Dogue De Bordeaux
The Dogue De Bordeaux, or French Mastiff, is just a regular working dog, that was bred in the Bordeaux region from the 14th century and has had many working roles. To this day, farmers have used them to cart produce and heavy materials. In American municipalities, this dog is the most banned.
