What Are the Strongest Dog Breeds?
Note
A note about the video: Pit bulls refer to several types of dog breeds, and they are certainly not the "meanest." Many pit bull breeds are sweet and lovely. Dogs are a product of their raising. Chihuahuas are actually one of the top bite offenders, but because they are so small, it rarely gets reported!

This is such a fun article! I don't have any dogs with tough names, mine are Ziva, Zegnia, Banjo and Raylan. A tiny mutt dog, a doberman, and two bloodhounds!
