11. Akita Inu
Advertisement
The Akita Inu is a giant breed from northern Japan’s mountains. They may seem calm and reserved, but beneath the thick coat and curled tail is a powerful dog. Akitas are loyal and affectionate with family but less so with strangers or other animals. Without socialization or training, they can become dangerous around people outside their circle. Strong training reduces the risks noted for many breeds on this list.
