Husky
Much like many of the dogs we have on this list, the Husky is quick, fast, and full of energy. Huskies are also mainly used as sled dogs too, because they can be able to run through the snow and all.

Still, that doesn’t mean they’re not dangerous, because they are. Unlike several of the dogs on this list, Huskies have claimed quite a number of human lives. Such incidents happened as recently as 1998, when the dogs were accountable for fatally attacking 15 people.

When we think of Great Danes, we tend to think about Scooby Doo, the lovable, cowardly canine of the Mystery Inc. gang. In real life, the dog may be lovable, but it would be wise not to get on this canine’s bad side. While the name and size of this dog gives it a majestic feel, there is no doubt that the Great Dane is one of the most dangerous breeds in the world…if not taken care of properly, that is.
The fully grown Great Danes can prove to be terrifying dogs with their size; 86 cm tall and 200 pounds heavy. There have also been incidents of people getting mauled by some Great Danes, one such case was in 2003, leading to the death of a toddler in South Carolina by said dog. Yikes!

The last recorded attacks from Malamutes were from 1966 to 1980, and within those years, there were 5 recorded fatal attacks. Lucky for you if you manage to own and properly train one, but we really can’t be sure, can we?

Perro de Presa Canario
Perro de Presa Canario, also known as the Canary Mastiff are the rarest breed on this list. They were originally bred for rounding up livestock. These dogs require obedience training and socialization at a young age to prevent unruliness. However, even that isn’t enough sometimes.
These dogs are very suspicious of strangers, and on occasion, will attack other canines. Since this breed has a potential to be dangerous, even with the right socialization, training, and handling, it is not recommended as a family dog.

We Believe in Easy Life that all dogs are dangerous, and if you don’t need it for hunting or guarding don’t spend your money!
