Canines come in wide range of sizes and it is sometimes difficult to believe that the Chihuahua and the Saint Bernard are actually the same animal species. Dogs are much valued for their loyalty, their friendship and the warmth that they bring to your life. However some people also seek to have dogs based on their qualities like strength, vitality and their agility. These characteristics ensure that these breeds are suited for them being guard dogs as well as being pets.
That is why some people seek and get the biggest dogs as their pets as they are also the strongest. But just because a dog is huge does not necessarily mean that it is going to be ferocious, so you need to check for this quality as well when deciding on a breed of dog for guarding purpose. You may however go for a more docile nature d dog when you are seeking one as a pet. The thing to keep in mind while looking for a large dog is not only how strong the dog is but also ensure that the dog gels well with the rest of the family and your surroundings.
Strongest Breed Of Dogs in the World
Mastiff
This is a big and very strong breed of dog that needs much space around the home. Mastiff has been seen and found to be a gentle dog that is also immensely loyal. An ideal environment for having a mastiff as pet would be the country or areas in suburbs where space is not that much of constraint. This dog needs moderate exercise and some amount of grooming.
Bull Mastiff
Italian Cane Corso Mastiff
Neapolitan Mastiff
Tibetan Mastiff
Great Dane
This dog happens to be rated as the tallest dog and is pretty big. This breed of dog has been used for work and is known to be quite strong. The Great Dane is seen as tolerant but also a bit deceitful in nature. Apart from the effort of bathing it, the Great Dane is easy to groom due to the short hair.
Blue Great Dane
Great Dane
Harlequin Great Dane
St Benard
This breed of dog is known for the phenomenal growth in height and weight. If not properly cared for, a St Bernard is prone to many genetic problems one of the main being seizures. This breed of dog is aggressive and is a good companion. You will need to however exercise this dog regularly to keep it in good condition.
St Benard Puppy
When it comes to dogs that we want to keep as a pet, some seek the most strongest dog breed. With some dog owners, it is a matter of prestige that they have the most expensive dog breeds and this is workable when the person who picks such a dog from different dog breeds can afford the care and nourishment that the dog requires. However if you want a dog that is supposed to keep an eye on the home and property, then you need to look at guard dog breeds as this breed will help in ensuring that. In such cases, seeking out the most strongest dog breed may not be enough; you need to look at the attitude of the dog breed too.
I have a puppy cane corso hes so cute
To the admin of this respected website, i would suggest you to take a look at ” Turkish Kangal ” that i don’t see here, but it’s proven scientifically that KANGAL is the strongest dog in the world.
Thank You so much Skender for your suggestion. We will be updating the list soon.
Once again Thank you from the complete Team of Animals.Ekstrax.com
You have not mentioned Thick boned German Shepherds here, or have I missed them in this article.? They are also supposed to be strong and brave, aren’t they?
I have Dower man.
Its, gud to see my bully kutta in list now I need cane corso will anyone arrange.
I personally have a american bull dog and he is stronger that I am and weights about 50 more pounds than I do but he is just a big baby but protective when he needs to be so in short I would recommend this breed to anyone ☺?
I don’t think the Caucasian Shepherd is AKC Registered yet, but I highly recommend looking at it.
How is an Alaskan Malamute not on this list???
Shiver me timbers, them’s some great innfamrtioo.
The Great Pyrenees is not from North America and this breed is not a century old as stated here, it is much older. It is actually one of the oldest and better documented breeds in the world and can be traced many centuries back. It was (and still is) used by Basque shepherds of the Pyrenees -hence it’s name- on both the French and Spanish sides of that mountain range. It was also the official dog breed of the French royal court up until the french revolution put an end to royalty in France.
what will be the strongest among them??
Pitbull Terrian,German Shepard,,and Tibetan Mastiff but the stroongest is between the Pit. and Tibetan.
Thats bullshit there are too many dogs in the middle east.armenia and turkey are stronger than these
Please my name is kingsley and I love dogs but I don’t have one. I need a german sheferd bull dog .
There’s a few breeds missing from this list
I love English Staffishire bull terrior and American Staffy, also English Bull Terrior, very powerful dogs for there size, but to this list I’m surprised there’s no mention of Rhodesion Ridgeback hence used to help hunt down lions and the Canary Island dog, this particular breed weigh in at a whopping 110 Kgs, that’s right not pounds, Kilograms and are notorious for chewing on the wheels of moving cars and have broken their necks because they don’t let go. Just a suggestion, I have not had any experience with those two dogs however the ridgeback I was lucky enough to know some one who had owned one and had nothing bad to say about the ridgeback.
i know for a fact that a german shephard is one of them.
I notice you don’t mention the Caucasian Shepherd which is most commonly found in the Ukraine Russia Georgia and these dogs are often used in Russian prisons to keep inmates under control and have been known to take on multiple wolves to keep flocks of sheep safe
i think the strongest dogs are pitbull,dogo argentino,boerboel,rottweiler,bull mastif,german shepherd.
Turkish Kangal nr 1
You have a pretty good list, but I feel you neglected to add a couple breeds to your list. I have had four american akitas during my adult life and let me say, the breed is one of the most powerful out there.
I think tibetan mastiff is the most powerfull dog in this list. I love this dog very much.
I have a puppy st Bernard puppy and is so fine
But guess what all of these working and sporting breeds are real doggies, rotties are gentle giants so are mastiff’s, bernese, and german shephards….got attakced by a pit they are actually terriers
so are schnauzers and terriers are territorial while the mastiff and german shephards are very bright and used for farm, family , police , guide dog, service dogs…I have had three rotties know german shephards,
dobies, bernese adn swissies, ridgebacks, labs, newfies are all awesome and loyal…I would like more people to be able to have these dogs if they train them love them and are responsible owners or renters.
