The Most Agressive Dogs on the Planet


Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania recently did a study to determine the most aggressive breed of dog. It was determined that 1 in 5 of the "winning" breed have bitten or tried to bite a stranger with a similar number having attacked other dogs.

Which breed to you think it was?

A. Pit Bull
B. German Shepherd
C. Chihuahua
D. Rottweiler
E. Dachshund
F. Doberman

The answer is E. By the way, C was second. Strange, but true.

Other notable findings were that Basset Hounds, Golden Retrievers and Greyhounds were all found to be very low on the aggression scale.

Trivia: Dachshund means "badger dogs" in German.
