This is a list of top Most Commonly Banned Dog Breeds in the United States
Pitbull type dogs – American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pitbull Terrier
Pitbull type dogs are the most banned breedsPitbull type dogs are banned more frequently than any other dog breed despite the fact that it’s not actually a singular breed. The term pitbull actually applies to several breeds and mixes of breeds, but all of them face stigmas as aggressive and dangerous. Every time there is a biting incident, especially if it is serious, a pitbull is blamed. It does not matter if the dog is not a pitbull since no matter what the dog breed involved if no one identifies the dog it is assumed to be a pit bull.
Pitbulls get the blame not just because people have a bias against these dogs, but also because they’re biased against these dogs’ owners. Bans on pit bulls and other breed-specific legislation seem to surface in areas that experience major demographic changes; they write that these laws may be proxies by which uneasy majority can register their suspicions about the race, class, and ethnicity of the people who own those dogs.

The irresponsibly bred Rottweiler
RottweilerThe Rottweiler has run into problems because of irresponsible breeding. Rottweilers earned a bad reputation when people started mass breeding.
Certain breeds, including the Rottweiler, get disproportionately chosen as personal protection dogs and are more likely to be raised and trained to be aggressive – often by dog owners who lack good training skills. The Rottweiler is a strong dog. Thanks to their large head, Rottweilers have an impressively strong bite. Their jaws are stronger than German shepherds and pit bulls with a bite force of 328 pounds – that’s about half of a shark’s bite force, at 669 pounds.

The unpredictable Wolf-Dog Hybrid
Wolf-dogThe wolf-dog, previously known as a wolf hybrid, is routinely blacklisted by insurance companies. The breed, part wolf and part dog pose its own set of challenges to owners. Plus, it’s also banned outright by cities across the United States. Wolf dogs can be difficult to manage if you are not prepared to tend to their needs and unpredictable behaviors. Sadly, many also end up being mistreated due to poor socialization and training.
Banned or restricted by cities in Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Cane Corso the Italian Mastiff
Cane Corso the Italian MastiffThey have a strong hunting drive and are very territorial. They have even been known to kill cats and small dogs, so having a solid, fenced-in area with at least a 6-foot-high fence is a must if you don’t want the neighbor’s pets to become his prey! Isolated reports of bites and attacks have played a role in legislation against this breed.
Banned or restricted by cities in Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, Oregon, South Dakota, and Washington.
Akita the world’s most loyal breed
American Akita with her puppyThe Akita faces bans in many cities across the United States. These dogs have a reputation for being aggressive. So, in any encounter with other dogs or uninformed people, whether your dog was the aggressor or not, expect the Akita to be blamed.
Banned or restricted by cities in Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Tennessee, and Washington.
Whether you own an Akita or another restricted or banned dog breed, some cities don’t ban breeds outright, but they require you to handle the dog like he’s a dangerous dog. You may have to muzzle your dog when he’s in public. You may also need to carry liability insurance or display a dangerous dog sign at your home. Some cities require your pet to wear a tag that reads dangerous dog. You may be required to microchip and spay or neuter the dog.

Dog aggression is deeply related to upbringing. It is a result of nervousness. In most cases, it should be called defense instead of aggression. A dog who is aggressive towards one animal, may or may not be aggressive towards another animal – it does not cross into other species. Aggression towards humans is very abnormal for most dog breeds. They are not naturally or inherently aggressive towards humans.
Maybe on your planet, Jason, but not here on earth. Pitbulls top the list of dog bites and death. Countless stories of pitbulls that got loose and attacked a person abound. Many of these cases happened on the person’s private property or simply walking down the sidewalk in the neighborhood where the person lived.
Dogs have been bred for centuries to fulfill specific roles. On my ranch I kept border collies, which is a breed that has never enjoined the AKC because breeders felt it would ruin a good working dog by changing vital characteristics and turning it into a useless show dog with physical defects, which has happened to nearly every AKC registered breed. Border collies are active, intelligent, and instinctive herding dogs that require little training to get the job done. They will attack and kill predatory animals that threaten people, pets, or livestock. This is a dog that does not require fencing in to guard your property because they will generally not attack a person. However, they are well-known for there predator stance, where they crouch as a warning sign should some trespass onto the owner’s property.
That said, your statement that dogs are not naturally or inherently aggressive towards humans is simply wrong. Pit bulls were bred to hold a bull or steer and not let go. Centuries of breeding by abberant people who wanted fighting dogs have left the modern pitbull an aggressive breed. It’s bred into them the same way an Eskimo dog feels at home pulling a sled in Arctic.

Which is arrogance and stupidity. Government over control is the issue. You can no more judge a dog by breed and a human by there race.
It’s unfair to target breeds.. many people buy aggressive dogs to bully others and show off. Such people are a menace to society.
It’s perfectly fair. There are countless fact-checked reports about pitbulls getting loose and mauling strangers who were not on the pitbull owner’s property. There are also cases where a pitbull has attacked and killed a member of the owner’s family.
