Caucasian Shepherd Dog: It is a large dog breed very famous in Russia, North Caucasian area, Armenia and Georgia.

As they are mountain dogs so a heavy coat of fur is seen on their whole body. Their life expectancy is very long and quick weight pickers. Proper training should be given to them for better performance as they are used for hunting bears.
Antolian Shepherd: Antolian shepherds mainly originated in Antolia in Turkey but afterwards developed in America. It is a large dog breed with very strong and rugged appearance.

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???
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.
