The requirements put forward by the state in relation to owners of pets, including dogs of potentially dangerous breeds, are enshrined in Federal Law No. 498 of December 27, 2018 “On the Responsible Treatment of Animals.”

Information

Human danger rating: 8/10

Description

Bandog, up to 73 cm at the withers

The blood of three breeds flows in him. But the breeders are still working on him, they want to breed an excellent fighting dog. Starting from the first days, training is mandatory, but he does not tolerate cruelty. Under these conditions, he can be loyal. He can be affectionate even sometimes, only with his owner. With children he puts up with it, but caution is in order. Friendly with pets if he is dominant

Health is excellent, but you need to watch your eyes

American Staffordshire Terrier

And again we have a victim of the media. Since the end of the twentieth century, people and the media have considered them a bloody killer, and there have even been proposals to completely destroy them. Possessing high intelligence, this dog is perfectly trainable and grasps everything on the fly. Plus, his natural guard instinct and intuitive sense of danger make him one of the best guards and protectors among dogs in the world.

How to get permission

The previously mentioned draft law states that a person who wants to acquire one of the above-mentioned dogs will need to obtain a license from the police department at his place of residence. How much this permit will cost is still unknown.

You will also need to bring the following documents:

• passport;
• statement;
• certificate of mental health and absence of alcoholism and drug addiction;
• certificate of completion of a dog training course;
• paper proving that the number of animals in the house corresponds to living space standards;
• consent from all co-owners of the apartment and other persons living in it.

It is quite possible that such a measure will help restore order in this area.

Pitbullmastiff

Again, formally such a breed does not exist, because a pit bull mastiff is a mixed breed obtained by crossing an American pit bull (pit bull terrier) with any mastiff-type dog (be it a bull mastiff, Tibet, Japanese, Fila Brasileiro or any other).

It is clear that since the breed is not registered, there are no standards for such dogs and recording “pit bull mastiff” in the documents is simply impossible!

Next non-existent breed on the list

Jerker and Dirty Man

And here we come to the issue of personal responsibility of the dog owner. People get a puppy, and then it turns out that he tirelessly runs and jumps, chews wires and sofas, barks noisily, makes puddles all over the apartment, etc. Material damage and problems in the relationship between the dog and the owner arise due to misunderstanding and ignorance of the pet’s needs.

— A dog, although long tamed, is still a predator, curious by nature. And here you need to understand what stress should be given to the pet, in what rhythm to live with it, temperament characteristics, genetic predisposition of the breed, etc. Moreover, all this must be analyzed before purchasing a puppy. As an adult, it will be much more difficult to correct behavior. But here it’s like with people - try to re-educate an adult!

Which breed is right for you personally? To make the right choice, you need to understand what you are willing to give to the dog and what to sacrifice. For example, with a husky you need to walk kilometers through parks and forests or ride a bicycle to give the dog the necessary exercise. The cutest creatures, corgis are a very popular breed now. Physical activity is not as important to them as mental activity, because they are shepherds. If you plan to spend 10-12 hours away from home at work, then this is not the dog for you.

— Dogs are highly trainable creatures. If we don't teach the dog, it learns on its own. But then you shouldn’t be surprised, upset or angry that she has developed habits that are bad from our point of view. The dog's needs must be respected. We are responsible for those we have tamed.

No matter how seditious it may sound, our expert believes that the practice when a person finally acquired a dog, and after some time abandoned it due to a mismatch of temperaments, banal incompatibility, has a right to exist. Because living in conflict for ten or more years is torment for both. And so the refuser has a chance that he can meet a suitable Person. By the way, Alexandra herself has two dogs - also refuseniks: a German shepherd and a Jack Russell.

Dogo Canario

The Dogo Canario has incredible strength and a complete lack of fear. They were originally bred to guard cattle. When attacked by this dog, the victim has no chance. Representatives of the breed can be gentle and noble with their owners, showing great affection for their owners, and suspicion of strangers.

Pit bull ban

There are thousands of dog breeds on earth. Some appeared thanks to nature, others owe their appearance to man. Among this diversity there are companions, shepherds, guards and many others.

What dog breeds were bred in Russia

Some that appeared during selection are considered dangerous breeds and are banned in most countries. The main purpose of prohibition laws is to prevent injuries and deaths from their attacks.

Important! In which countries is the pit bull banned or considered a dangerous dog? For example, in Italy, Germany, England, USA,

The American Pit Bull Terrier breed appeared in 1800 in England and in 1835 in America after the ban on fighting between dogs was lifted. Originally used for corralling bulls. Later they began to let it into fighting rings, where the tenacity, endurance, stamina and aggressiveness of the breed were fully demonstrated. It was only in 2007 that a ban on dog fighting was officially introduced in the United States.

According to standards, a dog that has shown aggressiveness is disqualified and not allowed for breeding.

Akbash

One of the national breeds of Turkey. Translated from Turkish, the word “Akbaş” means “white head”. This fearless and independent dog with strong leadership qualities and white coloring is used to protect herds of livestock from predators. An excellent watchman and guard needs training so that the owner can keep the dog's need for dominance under control.

An adult individual has a height at the withers of up to 86 cm in a male and up to 81 cm in a female, the weight of an adult animal is up to 64 kg in a male and up to 41 kg in a female.

It is interesting that this breed is not officially recognized in Russia, so you will not be able to see the Akbash breed in the pedigree of a dog issued in Russia.

Akbash

Malamute

Malamutes can be very destructive if left unattended and bored. Dogs are not as dangerous as the wolves they resemble. However, if you do not educate them, they will show aggression. To be satisfied and feel completely happy, Malamutes need a lot of exercise and constant training.

Alaskan Malamutes love to dig holes.

“I don’t like movies about dogs”

Dog training has several goals: comfortable living with a pet, sporting achievements, assessment and development of breed qualities (guarding, searching, hunting, herding instinct, etc.).

Oddly enough, but owners of pets of popular/trend and rare breeds are faced with the same type of problems - belief in myths, advertising, basic ignorance and ignorance of the behavioral characteristics and characteristics of a particular breed. This is why most specialists working with dogs do not like films about them, because then, at the peak of popularity, people en masse begin to buy pets of the advertised breed, firmly believing in the movie image.

— People mistakenly expect ready-made behavior from a dog. If they take a shepherd, then they are sure that in a year they will grow up Commissioner Rex; if they buy an Akita Inu, then Hachiko will appear at home, who will wait for the owner at the door 24 hours a day. This is a fundamentally wrong approach: it is useless to expect results from a shepherd if you do not work with the dog. But the Akita has an independent, self-sufficient character. Sometimes people buy a curiosity - a new and completely unfamiliar breed. And the problem is that the owners do not understand and have no idea what awaits them and with whom they have to live side by side.

According to Alexandra, most beginners who come to dog trainers’ classes to correct their pet’s behavior are led by beautiful pictures, stories from breeders and volunteers, who in advertisements about all dogs write “loyal to children, best friend of the family, companion dog.” By and large, this is misinformation.

Boxer

The next position in the ranking of the most aggressive dogs is occupied by the beloved boxers. Independent and stubborn dogs, which, contrary to their name, do not get into trouble in any situation, but are distinguished by their cheerful disposition, playfulness and energy.

Boxers are a breed developed in Germany.

To properly train boxers, you can use special video seminars that take into account all the characteristics of the breed. After all, dogs are quite headstrong and, as they say, “hard-headed.” This makes training difficult, which requires different protective techniques.

Bully kutta

This large working dog, used for hunting or guarding, has two other names - "Pakistani Mastiff" or "Indian Mastiff". It is interesting that in Pakistan the Bully Kutta is used as a fighting dog, and in India mainly as a guard dog.

"Bully Kutta" translated from the local dialect means "heavily wrinkled dog."

The dog is massive, considered one of the heaviest breeds - the weight of an adult reaches 90 kg, and the height is about a meter (females up to 92 cm, males up to 112 cm). The dog is aggressive, fearless, territorial, with a dominant instinct, but it is immensely devoted to its family and intellectual.

A well-trained Bully Kutta dog is balanced and self-possessed, however, in order for it to grow up as such, the puppy urgently needs early socialization and work with an experienced dog handler, since they are difficult to train.

The Bully Cutta is a rare breed.
