Siberian huskies are prized for looking like wolves. Finding out that canines with similar appearances to wild creatures act somewhat like them shouldn't come as a huge surprise to you.
In the most remote areas of Canada and the United States, huskies were utilised as sled dogs. They only weigh 60 pounds, but despite their small size, they are powerful and independent animals. Catching prey is a major source of motivation for these dogs. They can perceive people and most other smaller animals as potential prey.
Their survival instincts in this situation are what cause them the greatest difficulties. In the study we quoted, huskies were involved in 3% of all attacks that resulted in fatalities. Despite being friendly the majority of the time, these animals have been known to attack youngsters and adults who challenge them, even when they have no prior aggressiveness.
A hunting dog bred to work alongside people is the Labrador Retriever. They can weigh up to 80 pounds and stand just around 2 feet tall, making them pretty big dogs. Due to their reliability and popularity as family pets, labradors do not make good security dogs.
How did Labradors end up being to blame for 2.1% of all deaths in the study? The majority of the time, people assume that the Labrador is protecting its home or even its food. When humans are trying to modify their dog's behaviour, they can unintentionally push them into a corner and make the dog feel threatened.
In either case, Labradors are not particularly vicious creatures, although they can knock people over or give people really bad bites.
Boxers make unusual pets because, despite their ridiculously dopey appearance, they were designed to be working dogs. These energetic canines can weigh up to 80 lbs and are quite muscular.
Boxers may be very difficult, which is understandable given their physical prowess and protective temperament. The dog is capable of attacking if something happens nearby that the dog perceives as frightening from a person they don't trust.
Although boxers have only been responsible for 7 fatal bites in recent years, they are also prone to non-fatal bites. You should only get this breed if you are experienced with handling and training dogs, just like with other dangerous breeds.
The Doberman Pinscher has a distinctive appearance that is immediately recognised because to its cropped ears, straight back, and perpetually alert expression. With the exception of German shepherds, these animals have served as guard dogs, and they did it so well that it has nearly become a cliché.
The word "pinscher" is a slang phrase from German that describes the breed's propensity for attacking and biting prey. Another breed that has been continuously improved over years of breeding is the attack dog. They should not be considered a surprise given how hazardous they are.
Approximately six fatalities and numerous incidences of biting were attributed to doberman pinschers during the time of the study. The breed is dangerous and capable of causing significant injuries, but not having as many fatalities as other dogs. They can weigh up to 80 pounds and are between 2 and 3 feet tall.
Last but not least, we have the Alaskan Malamute, a canine that resembles the Siberian Husky remarkably. The Alaskan Malamute is significantly larger than their wolf-life counterparts, which is the fundamental distinction. These canines are incredibly enormous and powerful, weighing up to over 90 pounds and standing 26 inches tall.
They also have a lot of energy and enjoy bouncing around and getting into trouble. Unfortunately, these dogs are not known for complying with their owners' demands, therefore they need to be well educated from an early age.
Due to their strong bite and readiness to use it against people, Alaskan Malamutes are still considered dangerous dogs even though they have only been involved in 4 fatalities.
