Dog Breeds That Are Too Threatening To Have Around The House

Akita

Akitas are guard dogs originating from Japan since they are very wary around strangers.

Friends of your little ones may be perceived as unwanted beings, thus, making them dangerous around other kids.

The Xoloitzcuintli

The Xoloitzcuintli, also known as the Xolo, or the Mexican hairless dog, is an ancient breed considered by the Aztecs to be a guide for the dead towards the underworld. This dog of the gods is, appropriately, a vigilant watchdog and fiercely loyal companion. Pronounced "show-low-eats-QUEENT-lee", this dog is extremely intelligent and covered in tough, smooth skin. The other side of the coin of being a loyal companion, however, is the characteristic of being very territorial and overprotective.

This mythical-looking canine can appear intimidating, but it doesn't necessarily have to be so. However this requires a very high level of training from a very early age. Therefore, many experts recommend leaving this handsome dog to the pros.
