Otherwise known as the French Mastiff, the Dogue de Bordeaux is a working dog that was originally bred in the Bordeaux region of France. These dogs were mostly used as working dogs, as their size, strength, and intelligence make them easy to train to do work around the farm.
They need to stay physically fit, so daily walks and plenty of activity is a must. This breed is generally friendly with proper socialization skills at an early age. With that being said, they are banned in certain areas and are not covered in homeowner’s insurance policies.
34. The Moscow Watchdog
This particular breed of dog is a cross between another well known, and aggressive, breed of dogs. The Moscow Watchdog is a cross between a Saint Bernard, Caucasian Ovcharka, and a Caucasian Shepherd. They truly are massive and beautiful to look at.
These dogs were first bred in the Soviet Union, specifically designed to be military dogs fit for protection. These dogs were bred to serve and protect their owners and because of that, they have a particularly high rate of aggression which can be dangerous to those who are not experienced dog owners.
35. Newfoundland
The Newfoundland is another dog that was bred for military protection and war. Like most war dogs, the Newfoundland bonds quickly with its human companions. They absolutely love the water and because of their size the dog best in wide open and spacious areas. They do exceptionally well with children and are generally very friendly dogs.
They love to be around people and don’t do well alone for long periods of time. With that being said, it’s still crucial they get plenty of socialization skills.
37. Bully Kutta
Mostly popular in Pakistan, the Bully Kutta is also known as the Indian Mastiff. Like many Mastiffs, the Bully Kutta is used as a protection dog. They surely are an intimidating breed.
Their size, strength and trained aggression have made the Bully Kutta one of the most popular watchdog breeds in all of Pakistan. This dog is often warned against being left alone with small animals and children. Its protective drive may work well for protecting territory and adult humans, but there’s always a margin for error.
38. Russian Black Terrier
The Russian Black Terrier has a particularly gruesome past. This is a fairly new breed of dog, having been bred in the 1920s. Another fact is that they hardly shed which is good for those who suffer from allergies. As far as research shows, the Russian Black Terrier is apparently the only dog that has ever been bred specifically to hunt humans.
It was bred in the former Soviet Union as a dog specifically used to keep prison camp detainees in line. Now, the Russian Black Terrier makes a particularly stunning guard dog, though it’s dangerous past should always be kept in mind.
