Great Dane’s are notorious for being known as the ‘Gentle Giant’. However, if they aren’t properly trained and socialized frequently as puppies, things can go downhill fast. They are one of the largest dog breeds out there, and because of their size, they have the potential to be extremely dangerous.
A Dane that is mistreated by his or her owner has the potential to turn on them and cause a great deal of damage. An adult can easily weigh up to 200 pounds which can prove to be detrimental if not trained and treated properly.

Because these dogs have been labeled dangerous, some areas may require that you have some type of enclosure that is strong enough to hold the dog back and to keep him or her from escaping. In addition, some states may require liability insurance.
6. Fila Brasileiro
Also known as the Brazilian Mastiff, this dog is known to be a very large and powerful dog. They weigh up to 170 pounds. Initially, they were bred to be a hunting dog that was trained to restrain but not kill the prey. Going back in history, this breed was used to return fugitive slaves unharmed to their owners. They have become a fairly popular guard dog over the years.
The Fila is a bit different from other mastiff dogs due to its temperament and ability to be very aggressive. At this time, the Fila is banned in the United Kingdom, Norway, Israel, and Denmark. If not properly trained, they can become extremely aggressive towards strangers. All in all, their size in conjunction with their strength and aggressive nature, this breed makes the list for one of the most dangerous dogs.
7. Boxers
The Boxer is from Germany and is a very strong breed. They can weigh anywhere between 50-70lbs. They are known to be energetic and playful which labeled them as being hard to train. By nature, this breed is not typically violent or aggressive.
If you saw them walking on the street, they do appear to unfriendly even though that is most likely not the case. However, don’t mistake this typically friendly dog as never being aggressive because they can attack at any time under certain circumstances. A death by a Boxer was caused back in 2015.
