Tosa Inu otherwise known as the Japanese mastiff is a relatively unknown breed in the world of pups and canines. These large dogs were originally bred for dogfighting rings and competitions. This is why the tosa is famous for its short temperament and extremely powerful fighting style. 

However, if another dog attacks a tosa, chances are the other dog might end up deeply hurt and injured. That's why this specific breed made its way into the dangerous dog act of 1991, which is why you won't be seeing this Japanese mastiff in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Arab Emirates, or Tunisia anytime soon.


3. Rottweilers

Just like the German Shepherds, these fearless and powerful rottweilers have become incredible in the world of law enforcement and armed forces.

But along with their protective personalities, the rottweilers have been found guilty of unprovoked attacks and dangerous behaviors.

This is why Caucasian shepherds are banned and illegal in Denmark, Italy, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus.

But despite the scary looks, the Caucasian shepherds are extremely warm and kind to their owners, their family, and other family pets.


1. Wolf-Dog Hybrids

Just like their name suggests, these hybrids were created by mating domestic dogs with different wolves species, which is why it's not surprising to hear many countries have banned these hybrids from their lands. Prohibited in most states and countries of the world, here is why experts deemed this dog species to be so dangerous and vicious. People who own hybrids often found that their pet's behavior makes it a challenge to care for. 

However, the diversity of genetic composition even with one little of these hybrid pups can lead to a wide range of appearances and behavior among all hybrids. Thus making their behaviors inconsistent and more difficult to predict. And so, while some part of the United States allows ownership of these hybrids, it's no secret that the wolf-dog hybrids are the most illegal and dangerous dog species in the world.
