Akita

Akitas were bred in Japan as guard dogs, their aggressive nature and unfriendliness towards strangers make them good at their job. The issue is that they often view kids as intruders, and your children’s friends? Forget about it. Since the Akita is a very distinct breed with likes and dislikes, little ones need to be aware of them.

Pit Bull

As many of you are probably aware, pit bulls can be a very dangerous breed of dog, but we are of course not talking about every single one. For generations, this breed has been bred for dogfighting, giving them a bad rep. This breed is known to have a temper, and when they attack, they often don’t let go. Studies show that Pit Bulls are responsible for 30% of fatal dog bites. Of course loving and family-friendly Pit Bulls exist, but families with kids may want to be safe rather than sorry.
