Hi, Charlie here you may think that everyone everywhere loves dogs but there
are certain dog breeds which have very scary backstories and because of their
past uses they're currently way too dangerous to own this has led to these
breeds being banned in many countries so today we're going to look at the most
infamous and banned dog breeds in the world American Bulldog the American
Bulldog hails from the deep south of the United States it used to be used as a
farm dog but not just any farm dog its specialty was catching hogs these
wild hogs can be very savage they have ginormous tusks and weigh several
hundred pounds they would often injure farm animals which is why farmers began
breeding American Bulldogs these American Bulldogs would hunt down these
gigantic feral hogs this led to the American Bulldogs being bred to have
great athleticism and strength after all they would need to be able to subdue a
hog until a hunter arrived for this reason their pain threshold is very high
they're able to withstand pretty much anything but they can sometimes be
aggressive because of their past uses they're also very tough and strong and
can probably overpower most humans they're very muscular and typically
weighs 70 to 130 pounds however many have been known to be even heavier than
that and even larger - as a result these are banned in many countries around the
world including Denmark and Singapore this has led to the price of these dogs
skyrocketing if you're buying an American Bulldog from a breeder they can
range from anywhere from two thousand to four thousand dollars some parts of the
United States have even banned this dog and they're also prohibited in Italy and
on the Bermuda Islands and every year more and more countries and
municipalities have made moves to ban the American Bulldog Dogo Argentino the
Dogo Argentino hails from Argentina it was first bred in 1928 and its
ancestors include the Cordoba dog one of the most dangerous dog breeds in history
the court over dog was mixed with various briefs including the Great Dane
and also the dog Odie Bordeaux and the Irish Wolfhound all of these breeds
formed together to create the very scary Dogo Argentino the first
breeder was named Antonio Norah's Martinez anti developed the dog to be as
large as a mountain lion that's because he was a big-game hunter and wanted
something to take on a mountain lion the Dogo Argentino has also been used in
underground dog battles they usually weigh around a hundred pounds which is
slightly less than some dogs on this list but that lack of weight allows them
to move around very quickly they look similar to a pitbull because they're a
solid white color Bharathi Dogo Argentino is one of the
most prohibited dogs on earth over ten countries have banned this dog including
Australia New Zealand Spain and Portugal the UK Italy Romania Norway Israel and
Turkey certain states in the USA and the Bermuda Islands Singapore Malta and
Ukraine it's safe to say there's not many territories around the world which
allow the Dogo Argentino but seeing as these can easily take out Chema's and
mountain lions it's not hard to see why they are incredibly vicious and this
could be transferred to humans if things went wrong a few years back in Florida a
Dogo Argentino even took out a panther Neapolitan Mastiff the Neapolitan
Mastiff is also known as neo and hails from Italy it actually has an amazing
history as it was used in ancient Rome gladiators would battle fees in amazing
Coliseum spectacles and they were also used as battle dogs by the Roman legion
but today they're still used for different purposes people today employ
Neapolitan Mastiffs as protectors of their homes or businesses they have a
distinctive and kind of friendly appearance they can weigh around 200
pounds as their very fat and muscular birds their faces are covered in loose
wrinkly skin they also have very low hanging jowls you may remember this dog
from the Harry Potter movies a Neapolitan Mastiff was used to portray
Hagrid's pet Fang they're very difficult to own in many countries many
countries have banned them outright and in some countries like Romania you need
to be certified psychologically fit to own one that's because these can be very
dangerous to humans and animals alike they're prohibited in many
we're States as well as in Romania they're also banned in the Bermuda
Islands Singapore and Ukraine and recently Belarus has made moves to pound
this dog wolf dog wolf dogs are an amazing breed they're a mix of wild
wolves and domesticated dogs wolf dogs are a mix of many breeds for example the
Carpathian wolf and the German Shepherd and also the Mackenzie Valley timber
wolf this book is also very popular and fiction for example in Jack London's
book White Fang the wolf dog is one of the most unpredictable dogs in the world
it has a bizarre genetic structure this means that the dog is often very
unpredictable and reacts to certain situations like a wolf and others like a
dog it also has a very high prey Drive this means that it's always looking for
things that it can hunt and take out this of course means that most of the
time it's not a good pet to have there have been many cases of wolf dogs taking
out humans most often small kids that's because they often view children as
items of prey as a result many countries worldwide have made steps to ban this
dog it's illegal in Norway Finland and Ukraine Bobel this dog comes from South
Africa and it looks like a stronger version of a bull mastiff the name comes
from Dutch and roughly means farm dog it was bred from various different
breeds including native African dogs and also guard dogs
lots of Dutch guard and farm talks were also involved in the breeding during the
late 1920s during the late 1920s there was a massive spike in breeding of this
dog that's because the diamond mining company deep is brought lots of these
into guard their minds it said that many South African diamond mines still employ
these dogs as guards to this day also around the world many people use these
to guard their homes that's because they're very good guards but they're not
overly aggressive they are also pretty good with kids meaning that your
children should be safe if you own one but that's not to say these dogs aren't
powerful as they can easily top 150 pounds in weight they're also banned in
many countries for example Denmark and Romania the Bermuda Islands and
Singapore have also banned this dog as well as Russia and Ukraine most
recently banned dog it's pretty ironic that the banned dog is one of the most
banned dogs in the world they've been used since the Middle Ages
in the Middle Ages people would chain these up to a pole and use them to guard
their property at night but the modern banned dog is not a purebred various
different breeds has led to the band dogs creation this includes various
Mastiffs and also the American Pit Bull Terrier because of this they have the
size of a mastiff but they have the drive and aggression of an American Pit
Bull Terrier there was a massive spike in breeding of these dogs in the 1960s
that's because a famous vet named John Swynford began breeding them in excess
his most famous dog was named BAM - this was a fierce hard dog known for its
prowess and aggression the weight of banned dogs can vary wildly but they can
go from anywhere to 90 to 160 pounds they're prohibited in Romania the
Bermuda Islands and Singapore and recently Russia and Ukraine have added
them to their lists of prohibited perps Philip Russell in Rome the Philip
Russell era was also known as the Brazilian Mastiff it is one of the
largest dog breeds in the world today they're used for hunting boar and Jaguar
but they have a dark history as they used to be used for tracking down
runaway slaves its ancestry includes the Mastiff the bloodhound and the Bulldog
but it can be quite hard to trace the exact ancestry of these dogs they are
highly valuable and prized for their aggressiveness and in Brazil they're
praised for their personality trait known as aljazeera
this translates into English as distrust this means that these dogs will always
be skeptical of you and never let you out of their sight the Philip Russell
Aero does not take kindly to strangers and when they're shown in dog shows
judges are told not to touch them many countries have outlawed ownership of
this dog this includes the UK Spain and Denmark they're also not allowed in
Italy Norway Israel or Turkey certain US states have also prohibited these as
well as the Bermuda Islands Portugal and Singapore Malta New Zealand and
Australia have also found these dogs and they're also not allowed in
Ukraine and Belarus Japanese tosa inu the tosa inu is a mix of Japanese dogs
and also Western breeds this includes wild indigenous Japanese dogs Mastiffs
and bull terriers they're very heavy weighing around 90 to 200 pounds and in
Japan they're even used in underground dog battles the tosa inu is known to be
a very stoic dark it can battle very silently without making a whimper or
growl but because of this they are bound all over the world this includes the UK
Denmark and Spain France Italy and Romania Norway Israel Turkey in some USA
states the Bermuda Islands Portugal and Singapore Malta New Zealand and
Australia as well as Ukraine and Belarus Presa Canario the presa canario hails
from Spain's Canary Islands they weigh anywhere from a hundred pounds to 150
pounds but they achieved massive notoriety in 2001 that's when a pair of
these dogs named Bane and Hera took out a fitness coach in San Francisco
