Of all dogs, greyhounds are the most safest racers. Aside from being fast, greyhounds are also not aggressive and so they are tolerable.

From the records of University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine study by the Center for the Interaction of Animals, much maligned greyhound is rated the most docile or least aggressive canine by breed which eventually make him fit and safe for possible races.

The study involved researchers from the University of Pennsylvania. The researchers actually have questioned 6,000 dog owners. Other dog breeds that scored low for aggression include Basset Hounds, Golden Retrievers, Labradors and Siberian Huskies. Other dog breeds scored average or below average marks for hostility toward stranger and these include Rottweilers, Pit Bulls and Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

By record, greyhounds are the most docile or least aggressive toward humans and other dogs. And the most vicious or let’s just say the most aggressive are the Daschunds. They are the first on the list of 33 dog breeds that were rated for their aggression.

Based on the results, Dr. James Serpell, one of the researchers from the study then have said that smaller breeds tend to be more genetically inclined towards aggressive behavior than bigger breeds.

For the details, the top ten aggressive breeds for the researchers of University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine are as follows:

1. Daschund
2. Chihuahua
3. Jack Russell Terrier
4. Akita
5. Australian Cattle Dog
6. Pit Bull
7. Beagle
8. English Springer Spaniel
9. Border Collie
10. German Shepherd
