Top 10 Strongest Dog Breeds

The Top Ten
1 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.

I've had German Shepherds for years.They are super strong and fast. They are good with children and are very loyal and protective of their pack. German Shepherds are fearless! That's why they are police dogs. And the expression a man's best friend, comes from them. So if you want a strong dog who can do it all, get yourself a German Shepherd! BEST BREED ON EARTH!

German shepherd is really the strongest in attack and bite then its Rottweiler then American pit bull terrier German shepherds and Rottweiler can be about the same. these dogs are not even close to the right order. I know its not a big deal but, people should study the dogs more and put a proof list people are just putting their opinions so not all the info is true lol :) but that's just my opinion.

They help policemen track down criminals and arrest them. German Shepherds are just the strongest and fastest dogs ever!

Yes German Shepherd is strongest dog in the world

2 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.

The bite pressure of a Pit is about 235 pounds of pressure. The Mastiff has about 552 pounds of pressure, more than the double of a pitbulls bite. Do your research before commenting and voting

They kill the most out of other dogs because they were bred to be protective but started to be used in dog fighting. They are amazing and the strongest.

Not sure how you're judging strength, but from bite pressure to weight pulling, pits outclass bullmastiffs, even at half the body weight.

Did you know Bullmastiffs are stronger than Pit Bulls?

3 Rottweiler

The Rottweilers have the strongest bite force of all dogs it's bite force is 328 pounds and second comes the German shepherd and third comes the pit bull but the Rottweiler has the most strongest bite force in dogs

It is actually proven that Rottweilers have a stronger bit force than the Pitbull Terrier and the German Sheperd.

I'm sorry but Rottweilers are stronger then Pitbulls and German Shepards that's even been proven.

My neighbor lost her German Shepherd when my Rottie attacked it.

4 Beagle The Beagle is a breed of small-sized hound, similar in appearance to the much larger foxhound. The Beagle is a scent hound, developed primarily for hunting hare.

I had a Beagle at one point. He was afraid of bubbles! I never understood that dog.

5 Siberian Husky The Siberian Husky is a medium size, dense-coat working dog breed that originated in north-eastern Siberia.

Huskies have energizer-bunny energy, that's why they pull sleds so well

6 Newfoundland A large working dog breed known for its gentle and sweet nature, the Newfoundland excels in water rescue due to its webbed feet and strong swimming abilities. Originating from the Canadian island of Newfoundland, they are often employed in life-saving roles.

Unbelievably strong, I've owned 4 over 17 years. Water rescue trained they can tow a stranded boat with several passengers safely to shore.

7 Saint Bernard The St. Bernard or St Bernard is a breed of very large working dog from Swiss Alps and north Italy and Switzerland, originally bred for rescue.

My 9 months old is 44 kg, 72 at withers and all muscle. Very athletic already, much physically stronger then my cousin's rhodesian ridgeback who is 15 months and 45 kg

The Contenders
11 Leonberger The Leonberger is a giant dog breed. The breed's name derives from the city of Leonberg in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
12 Doberman Pinscher 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.

I'm very biased about this opinion...but dobermans are definitely the strongest dog breed. They are extremely loyal and they can be very fast. I have one and he is very loyal and he's just a sweet heart but when we're in danger he'll do anything to keep us safe. Also they look freakin amazing, and big and scary. This should be in the top 3 not the fourteenth.

22 Border Terrier The Border Terrier is a small, rough-coated breed of dog of the terrier group. Originally bred as fox and vermin hunters, Border Terriers share ancestry with Dandie Dinmont Terriers, Patterdale terriers and Bedlington Terriers.

They are very strong obviously not Rottweiler strong but they can hold there ground against bigger dogs they are underestimated in a lot of things in my opinion and they were originally bread to hunt badgers and foxes which have very strong powerful jaws

Look it's the target dog. Small but mighty.

Creator of this list must be fool.This should be number 3 minimal.

I think tibetan mastiff should be one

Who create this list? What a idiot.

This,Caucasian sheperd and Alabai are too far from others in strength.They are much stronger than other dogs.
