1. Pit Bull
These dogs have a negative association surrounding them due to irresponsible owners but when raised and trained correctly they can be excellent household pets. This breed has been used in combat since as far back as the early Romans, fighting in the coliseums.

If you happen to be on the wrong end of a pit bull attack, you better say your prayers and hope someone is listening.

The breed is known for their mild temperament but will not hesitate to protect their master. There is also a good possibility they are a direct descendant of the Cerberus, the legendary three headed dog in charge of guarding the gates of the Underworld. I’m kidding of course, but their size definitely makes you wonder.
3. German Shepherd
A beautiful and majestic breed whose intelligence and strength is legendary worldwide. This breed is one of the top picks of law enforcement and has seen its fair share of wartime as well.

The origin of this breed was for herding purposes but their intelligence, strength and ferocity have proven them to be both a great family and guard dog.
