Top 10 Dog Breeds That Don't Deserve to Be On the Top Ten Worst Dog Breeds List

The Top Ten
1 American Pit Bull Terrier The American Pit Bull Terrier is a dog breed. It is a medium-sized, solidly-built, short-haired dog whose early ancestors came from the British Isles.

Absolutely, I am a very experienced dog walker and have NEVER had any serious problems. The only time where Pit Bulls I was walking attacked was when a game of play fight got a little too ruff (pun intended, I know, I know) but no one was injured and when an Afghan Hound attacked a Pit Bulls and the Pit Bull bit it back. In the end the Afghan had a few scratches and the Pit Bull needed a Veterinarian.

It's a myth that their jaws can lock, they have normal jaws like every other dog, everyone should calm down, I mean, these are pitbulls we're talking about, not SHARKS. And people who say they don't trust them might not know that they're just DOGS and they're not going to hunt you down or something... sheesh

Pit bulls are nice and cute and loyal they do what their owner teaches them like all dog breeds because they are the most loyal and will be your best friend because of how awesome and misunderstood they are.

Pit bulls can be the sweetest things if raised right they are just stereotyped

2 Rottweiler The Rottweiler is a breed of domestic dog, regarded as medium-to-large or large.The dogs were known in German as Rottweiler Metzgerhund, meaning Rottweil butchers' dogs, because one of their uses was to herd livestock and pull carts laden with butchered meat to market.

I adore Rottweilers. Once you get to know them, you won't be able to let go of them. I hate the list of worst breeds with a burning passion, but one thing I really hate is them being so high on it, and subject to all this crap.

The Big Boss Dog, Respect Him

Rottweilers are awesome!

3 Chow Chow The Chow Chow is a dog breed originally from northern China, where it is referred to as Songshi Quan, which means "puffy-lion dog".

I grew up with this breed and they are not bad dogs. They HAVE to be socialized. That's one of the most important things a chow owner should do. It's been my personal experience that most people have trouble reading them. It's weird, but I've noticed that people don't seem to notice the signals the dogs give when they're upset. Maybe it's because they're fluffy so people let their guard down. Maybe it's because they're generally less demonstrative than breeds like Labrador Retrievers. I wonder if anybody else has noticed this? I think maybe their bad reputation comes from owners who don't socialize their dogs and people who aren't familiar with the breed misunderstanding them.

It is true that without socialization these dogs aren't the greatest but assuming you've done your research this dog is going to be an amazing family pet. The one part that gets people is that these dogs NEED be outside interacting to learn how to be with other dogs starting from a young age.

4 Basenji The Basenji is a breed of hunting dog. It was bred from stock that originated in central Africa. Most of the major kennel clubs in the English-speaking world place the breed in the Hound Group—more specifically, in the sighthound type.
5 Husky

A Husky is not a lazy animal. It needs to be outside doing something or at least doing something, either way they need stimulation or they can become aggressive or destructive and that's why so,any people hate is because they haven't done enough research on the breed's needs.

I have always wanted this type of dog it is pretty, fluffy, and it can pull you on a sled.

My dad had huskies! They are so sweet! I love them. I recommend having a husky

Why on worst dogs? They are beautiful!

6 Dalmatian The Dalmatian is a breed of large dog, noted for its unique black or liver spotted coat and mainly used as a carriage dog in its early days.

DO YOUR RESEARCH! Half of the dogs on this list are here because not enough people do research in the needs of this particular breed. Just like the Husky the Dalmatian needs exercise and stimulation! Also, socialize them, that is a must!

7 Chihuahua The Chihuahua is the smallest breed of dog and is named after the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. Chihuahuas come in a wide variety of sizes, head shapes, colors, and coat lengths. While they can sometimes be aggressive, Chihuahuas can also be lovable, especially if trained from birth or known from a young age.

There are a lot of videos with aggressive chihuahuas on it. I always think what they have done to them to make them like this. Owners tend to treat them like little humans which you absolutely most not do. They are dogs not human. I have 2 chihuahua's who I have raised like dogs. They are not aggressive at all and one of them loves little children and is happy to be around them.

Treating chihuahua's like objects need to stop

Raise them like dogs

Be consequent, assertive and loving.

I love Chi's! They're loving, protective, brave, and fun. You have to be consistent when you train them because they can sometimes be stubborn. Honestly, the majority of the complaints I've heard about them had more to do with lazy/inexperienced owners when you got down to it. My elderly Chi is a sweetheart and so are a lot of the others I've met. It's all in how you train them.

I own a large chihuahua. They are quite aggressive, but only to protect their owner.
Back in 2008, my house got robbed. My chihuahua, Fiona, was able to RESIST being taken. She STAYED in the yard when the gate was open. She was sad when my other dog, Shrek (I used to obsess over those movies), a Yorkshire Terrier, was taken.
Thing is, though, Shrek found his way back after he was taken.

8 American Bulldog The American Bulldog is a breed of utility dog. There are two specific types of American Bulldog, Standard and Classic; additionally, there are also hybrids of the two types.

I own one and am literally sitting right next to him as I type this! Johnson's American Bulldog to be precise but there isn't really a big difference. Anyway this dog is a Guard Dog and is very protective of his or her master(s) mine does not get along with dogs his size of bigger and nothing close to being size either if the dog is male, it's because these dogs are bred to guard an they can see certain things as threats. But I have never had a problem other than the time he attacked another dog, BUT, in his defense that dog broke into our yard and attacked HIM first.

People who say American bulldogs are a terrible breed most have never come across one. If trained well this breed is amazing. They are so full of enthusiasm

9 Doberman The Doberman Pinscher, or Dobermann, or Doberman, is a medium-large breed of domestic dog originally developed around 1890 by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, a tax collector from Germany.

Highly intelligent, loyal, loving, fearless and goofy. Not for a new/inexperienced pet owner but, with patience and love, you will have a wonderful friend - and, with training (both children and dogs) they are wonderful with children. I have been owned by 6 in a 36 year span - 7 of those years I had 3 Dobies. RIP my sweet babies.

2nd best guard dog, out ranks German Shepherds and Rottweilers. 5th smartest breed of hundreds of other dog breeds. What more can you want from a dog. The Doberman Pinchser is the perfect dog breed.

It's the owner who is a lazy-ass and don't train their dogs and not the dog itself.

Such a lovable dog

10 German Shepherd The German Shepherd is a breed of medium to large-sized working dog that originated in Germany. The breed's officially recognized name is German Shepherd Dog in the English language. The breed is known as the Alsatian in Britain and Ireland.

Cute, loyal, handsome, loving, intelligent, shall I go on? No, I would be here for all eternity.

The German Shepherd is great best dog ever. It can kill you if you attack their owners.

My older sister has one, she's quiet and usually just sits there looking at the wall.

This is my favorite breed!

The Contenders
11 Boxer The Boxer is a medium-sized, short-haired breed of dog, developed in Germany. The coat is smooth and tight-fitting; colours are fawn, mahogany, black or brindled, with or without white markings, and white.

I have one and he is so retarded but that's not make it the worst dog breed

12 Yorkshire Terrier The Yorkshire Terrier is a small dog breed of terrier type, developed during the 19th century in Yorkshire, England, to catch rats in clothing mills.
13 Pug The Pug is a breed of dog with a wrinkly, short-muzzled face and curled tail. The breed has a fine, glossy coat that comes in a variety of colours, most often fawn or black, and a compact square body with well-developed muscles. However, Pugs have difficulty breathing, due to their extreme head shape.

Don't hate the Pug. Don't hate any dog. No dog breeds are bad. Every breed has their own strengths and weaknesses but all are lovable animals.

Pugs are cute!

14 Sphynx The Sphynx is a breed of cat developed through selective breeding starting in the 1960s, known for its lack of a coat, though it is not truly hairless.

Not gonna lie though, this dog does look kind of weird.

That's a cat... Not a dog and this is about dogs...
