Any dog can be considered dangerous. The breed and size of the dog is not really, all dogs have their own personality and traits, as we are often the subject of nature / nurture debate. According to records, however, there seems to be some breeds of dogs are more aggressive and attack more often than others. In the United Kingdom, the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 (amended 1997) prohibits possession of four types of dogs - the type is a key factor to define - which are listed below:

Pit Bull Terrier - They are generally medium sized and have strong muscles and a short coat. They have a broad, flat skull and a wide deep muzzle. They are powerful and athletic and come in a wide range of solid colors and mixed. The head of this dog is unique and a key element of the race. He is tall and wide but it is proportional to the size of his body. Originally raised to fight and baiting, these dogs need consistent training, plenty of exercise and stimulation to prevent them from becoming destructive and aggressive - whose absence has given them the reputation be dangerous.

Japanese Tosa - These dogs are massive athletic and agile. They have a large head with broad skull and a long square muzzle.

The laws surrounding these types of dogs is complex and involves a series of amendments, including an index of exempted dogs: So actually own one of these types of dogs can not be considered illegal since it was authorized and recorded by a court of law. That could also be a source of confusion is the inclusion of the offense of any type or breed of dog under the original Act which is "dangerously out of control" - attracting much needed attention to the fact the matter is that this is not what the dog is dangerous, but the owner puts the dog in a situation where there is risk of injury.
