GENERAL INFORMATION: What are Aggressive Dog Breeds?

What Are Aggressive Breeds?

Many apartment complexes will not allow “aggressive breeds” and the definition of what an aggressive breed is depends on the apartment management company. Many times the list consists of the following:

This list includes the following breeds, but is not limited to the following breeds. Any dog that has a bite history is prohibited. Akita, American Strafford Terrier, Bull Terrier, Bullmastiff, Chow Chow, Dingo, Doberman Pinscher, Giant Schnauzer, German Shepherd, Mastiff, Ovtcharka, Presa Canario, Pit Bull, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Rottweiler, Neapolitan Mastiff and Wolf. Any mixed breeds that have the predominant characteristics of any of the above breeds are also prohibited.

Many apartments list the dogs they will not accept on their web sites. A few will allow a mixed breed if a vet will certify that the dog does not contain the predominant characteristics of the prohibited “aggressive breed”. I keep a list of the apartment complexes that will take some of these breeds. In some cases, the tenant will be required to maintain insurance in case the dog does bit a resident.
