A Professional Dog Trainer's Top 5 Most Intimidating Dog Breeds

I've worked with a lot of animals that can kill me. I've looked in their eyes and I've seen the way they look at me and I am no threat and no problem to them. I'm going to tell you the dog breeds that when I look into their eyes, that's the same thing I see. I'm going to give you the criteria for this list because this is the list. This is the final list. If you disagree with me, write it in the comments. I'm going to give you criteria, then I'm going to give you the breeds and then we're going to get into the honorable mentions of which there's many. I thought long and hard about this list. This is not some AI video of some Tibetan Mastiff pinning wolves when I look at these dogs and I've worked with all these dogs. All right, here's criteria. I've had to have worked with a lot of them. There are badass dogs out there, but there just aren't that many of them and I'm not going to watch the internet videos and go, I'm going to add that to my list. They have to have the look and the attitude. There are badass dogs that just don't quite have the look. A high percentage of them have to be badass. There's dogs in the honorable mentions that you're going to go. Why aren't they on there? Well, because there's a bunch of crazy ones or weak ones. They can't make the list high percentage of badassness. They have to have the size. This is not a pound for pound list. There are tons of small dogs that are pound for pound the toughest, but they have to have the size and mainly my emotional reaction to seeing one and if I were to climb in a window at 2 in the morning to burglarize a place, how scared am I going to be if I see that dog? That is the criteria. I'm going to give you the list in no specific order and then we're going to get to my top five. No particular order. We've got Borble, Akita, Dogo Argentino, Rottweiler, Doberman, Kane Corso. Let's get to the top five. Okay, at the number six spot, and yes, I had to do six. I could not take this dog off the list as much as I tried to make it a top five. I couldn't take them off is the Akita. The Akita. This is the dog that some people think doesn't have the look. I disagree. This dog looks like a bear and this dog acts like a bear. So it is the number six spot. It dropped that far because it just doesn't have the look maybe like the other ones have. They're big, but they're not giant. I have worked with a lot of them. It does elicit a reaction in me when I see them. They're kind of a like if I'm going to bite you, I'm going to bite you. They're not necessarily going to wait for what their owner thinks. They're just going to say like I feel like biting you now. It doesn't help them or hurt them. Really. This isn't a perfect protection dog list. This is a badass dog list and Akita's are badass. Hey guys. Hope you're enjoying the video.

And if you have a new puppy and you want to raise dogs like mine Prince and Duke, I have the Beckman puppy program go to Beckman pro.com the links in the description now back to the video at the number five spot is the bore bowl. Now you can make an argument that this dog should be number one, especially based on the video you're seeing right now with that particular dog that particular dog you're seeing right now might be the most badass dog in the world. However, this and baubles and a dog on honorable mention. There's too many of them that get fat get joint problems and they're just big lumbering kind of weak looking dogs out there. There's very few dogs that I think are like this dog. You're seeing in the video. And so the percentage of them, they're still badass when they're kind of big and have joint problems, but a lot of them aren't like that. You just see them in there. They're they're just kind of big big old dogs and they lose their badassness a little bit so but they are on the list at the number four spot is maybe the most controversial one on this list and I have very good reason to put them in there. It is a big ears done tail done Doberman a big one the females the no ears done. They are not making the list but the big European ears done ones big Dobermans might be number one for look. They are badass. I've worked with a zillion of them. They're good at protection. They're good at bite inhibition. Wait for the owner to kind of tell them whether they should bite the person and they are my number four dog and number three might be my favorite dog many many many years of being an awesome protection family protection dog. They've got the size and that is the Rottweiler. I've worked with tons of them. They just got to be on this list bite hard. Don't just bite anybody badass don't even need the ears done like some of the dogs on this list to be badass just badass for hundreds. If not thousands of years tried and true badass dogs the Rottweiler number two is you've seen Game of Thrones the Ramsey scene the last two dogs are in that scene and that is the Cane Corso. Could they be number one? They could be number one. They are not number one because the number one dog on the list just looks at me different Cane Corsos with the ears done and and all that are are awesome powerful unbelievable guarding dogs and they're number two. They are almost the most badass because they are so damn badass. They are so damn scary. They are big they are gnarly and they're the number two dog on the list and my number one dog badass dogs in the world is the Dogo Argentino in this list. I try not to get into what they do in the wild. Okay, what what they're for right the Borbo in Africa is for doing some serious stuff the Akita in Japan is for doing some serious stuff with bears, but that stuff gets blown out of proportion, but the Dogo Argentino it actually applies and there's video of it, but it's mainly what I see when I look into their eyes Dogo Argentinos are different. They just are they to me look like missiles. Also the Doberman is the fastest dog on this list and that matters Doberman you go if I run he's getting me quick quicker than any other dog Dogo Argentino second. They are powerful. They are fast. They kill mountain lions Pumas and when I look at him, they just go what are you going to do to me bro? You're not doing anything to me. I don't see that with the other dogs. These dogs are different and they are by far in my opinion the most badass dog in the world the Dogo Argentino. That's it. That's the list. It's the final list. I've seen killer whales. Look at me. I've seen lions. Look at me. I've seen wolves. Look at me. I've seen big monkeys. Look at me. I know that look and Dogo Argentinos have that look in their eyes and all the dogs have the look. All right now for honorable mentions. This is the controversial part. Honorable mentions. I just have a big list here in no particular order. Presa Canarios. They have the same problem as barbels. They kind of get big and out of shape and but they're gnarly. They're super gnarly actually, but you know, I've got the barbel in there. I've got the Dogo Argentino. I got the Conor Corso kind of similar ish dog Presa Canario just kind of just made it out of the list German Shepherds big ones are pretty intimidating. There's too many crazy ones too many small ones too many weak ones. The breed has changed so much some of them just the females can be out of their minds weird barking all the time at everything. They just didn't make them list and for you Malinois people Malinois didn't make the list. This isn't a pound-for-pound list. They are just a barely bit too small to make the list. Are they badass? Yes, bull Terriers are badass. There's a lot of badass kind of small dogs. I didn't say normal breed standard Doberman's made this list. They didn't big Doberman's made this list. Malinois were just out of the list for badass dogs. If I walk into a house and I see a barbel, if I see Dogo Argentino, if I see a big Rottweiler, I'm a little more scared than if I see Malinois. I know what Malinois can do. I get it. I've worked with a zillion of them, but they're not on the list. Alibis, Kangals, Anatolian Shepherds, Tibetan Mastiffs. They did not make the list. There are not enough of them. I have not looked in enough of their eyes and seen it. Yes, I've seen the videos. They might be the most badass, but they don't fit my criteria and I'm making my criteria based on my personal experience and I've worked with thousands and thousands of dogs and a lot of aggressive ones. Ridgebacks. Yeah, I get it. Lion Hunters. That's gotten blown out of proportion. There's very few real ones in my opinion. They get these small heads, big bodies. The females aren't really up to it. They just do not make the list. I get the lore. I get it, but they're just they don't make it. American Bulldogs. These guys would be close. There's a fair amount of them. I've worked with a lot of them. They're just a little too fly-off-the-handle. You do need some control in you to make this list and I think all these breeds that I listed have a little more protectioniness to them rather than just fly-off-the-handleness to them and Bulldogs were a little too much of that and then anything in the Mastiff group. I mean, there are kind of there are Mastiff dogs on this list. Mastiff group is a big group. They're all guardi. They're all big but I wasn't going to list every single Mastiff on this list. So the Mastiff group is kind of off the list. So that's my honorable mention. Do you agree? Do you disagree? If so, why? Write it in the comments. This is not based on anyone else's perspective. This is me working with a ton of these dogs and many other dogs and that's my list and I'm sticking to it. Now a rare word of caution. I don't do this very much because people out there are smart people out there are adults and can make their own decisions. However, don't get one of these breeds. If you're not mentally and physically a strong person. If you get these breeds, you are the boss from the very beginning or else people can get hurt. You run the show. You're in the house. If you're a mentally and physically strong person, you can handle one of these breeds. But again, you can get hurt. Other people can get hurt if you don't think you can handle this type of breed. Hopefully you enjoyed the video.
