The most aggressive dog breeds have been identified

Some breeds of dogs are believed to be more aggressive than others. But, as researchers have found out, not only breed plays a role here. As the experiment demonstrated, the “meanest” dogs are old and small unsocialized male dogs. But experts have found that a number of breeds are still characterized by a greater propensity to aggression.

Finnish experts, having studied about 9 thousand pets (20 breeds), found out that small dogs are angrier than medium and large ones. Male dogs are also more aggressive than female dogs, even if they are neutered. The experience of the owner and upbringing also affect the bitterness of dogs. And also dogs that spend a lot of time with tribesmen, differ less aggressive behavior.
