I was just on user "Joelukes" thread

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/News/Question1370149.html

and this got me thinking are Pitbulls and Staffies the worst of the worst? I remember seeing a vid where a rottweiler was with a few other dogs including a small one when it just grabbed it in it's mouth with no barking or snarling but this is the only instant I've seen of a rottweiler doing this.

When I was younger I used to get chased and attacked by Jack Russel dogs quite often but this breed is hardly a killer to a grown child/adult.

So in your opinion which dog in your opinion is the most vicious, violent and unpredictable breed?

( I'm not talking about unruly owners just breeds and mixes of breeds )

I can't really say which breed I think is most unpredictable, but I know I've come across more Collies that are nippy and prone to biting than any other breed. But that may be because I've met a lot of farm collies!
I'm not a great collie fan either. Theyre a great breed if you keep them busy but they can be a bit nippy, and they are one of the only dogs that have ever bitten me.
Jack Russells imo.
I asked my (large GSD) dog's vet why she didn't muzzle him when I'd seen her muzzle much smaller dogs. She said she looks at the owner and if the owner is scared of the dog then she will muzzle it so I'm of the camp that blames the owners.
Jack russells for me as well. Our next door neighbour has a crazy JR, if he escapes he attacks anyone that walks past the house....A pain in the bum
JTH,that's just scary.
That one really takes the biscuit JTH.
The chichowwa is cross because a lot of people can not pronounce or spell its name see what I mean
I have been bitten or snapped at 4 times in my life. Two border collies (highly intelligent, highly strung), a GSD and a Corgi. All dogs have the potential but most of those in the horror stories have had humans breed or train them to be vicious IMO.
That's an interesting dog jack :-)
LoL......;o)

mazie, an old neighbour of ours had a Jack Russell that used to like attacking moving cars and motorbikes !.
I think any dog can be unpredictable, even the most trained or loyal, trusted family pet.

Dogs can get ill suddenly and without obvious symptoms - a raging toothache, for example.

I had my mongrel *** for 14 years and she had always been round children of all ages, bombproof with sudden noises, good with other dogs. Perfect family pet. She suddenly went for another dog who happened to be passing, both on leads. I was shocked at the aggression, it had come from nowhere. That was the start of a very sad end - she had a brain tumour.
My friends Patterdale terriers are the most vicious things I've encountered in quite some time. They were only quarter the size of Frank, but there was no way I was letting him any where near those things!
Where there is more than one dog (a pack) is the worst whichever breed.
I think a lot of dogs are just confused at the messages they get from their amateur owners. My new neighbour next door has a large alsation, it is very keen, barks at anyone passing the house, and barks at me if I'm putting washing out on the line. It doesn't seem to obey any voice commands she has to go out into the garden to take the dog in by it's collar. Imo that sort of dog is OK for a scrap yard but not for a quiet residential street. She goes out to work at 6am and leaves the dog at home, returning at 6pm, not an ideal situation for the animal. I have visions of it turning on her one of these days.
I have an adorable Lhasa Paso with a wonderful temperament. Earlier tonight I (jokingly) told him off. He ran away and cowered by the missus, baring his teeth at me and growling. Later on he jumped up on the sofa and went to sleep on my legs.

My point is, ANY dog can turn nasty if it feels inclined. We should not generalise about breeds or owners.
The problem I see here is people can only answer based on what they have witnessed (generally speaking). These opinions are based on the way the dogs have been brought up rather than the dog itself.

I have had a few jack russells and worked with many more and never have I found a JRT to be aggressive or yappy. I really think that a dog can only be judged by its owner in these circumstances. I think the most unpredictable breed is the Pit Bull but thankfully banned in this country and I would like to see the breed phased into extinction.

The Staffie in this country has always been known as the nanny dog because of its good nature and safe around children, however that is now changing, these dogs are now being bred by chavs to bring out their aggressive side and the breed will end up being a banned "dangerous dog" in this Counrty.

I have been bitten a few times, mostly by collies, once by a German Shepherd.

I think if I had to pick the dog most likely to nip, it would be the collie, the dog most likely to bite would be the GSD, the dog most likely to make an attack, any of the bull breeds.
Whilst I am obviously biased, I think one of the safest dogs and least likely to bite or attack is the Irish Wolfhound. They appear to have virtually no aggression towards people and very rarely toward other dogs. Our two boys have had two scuffles in 5 years, both times it was over our *** in season. one or two puncture wounds but no other damage. Mind you if they stand on your bare foot it is a killer!!!
^^^ lol I cant say ***?
