In nature, canines always seem to be weaker than cats, which is not actually our subjective assumption, but it is the case, but it is also limited to the wild animals of nature. If we broaden the scope a bit and count the domestic dogs, then we will find that in fact, the canines are not weak at all, and there are not a few fierce dogs that can fight with felines. In addition, the North American gray wolf, a population, has the strength to directly duel with the cat family.
Let's look at the main categories of wild canines, first of all, the subfamily canines, led by gray wolves, including 9 species of coyotes and red wolves, and then there are subfamily of serval dogs, led by jackals, including 4 species of African wild dogs, and finally the subfamily fox, a total of 23 species. Among the 36 species in these 13 genera, in addition to the gray wolf, it seems that there are not many animals that are too strong to compete with the big cat family. Among the cats, the 5 subspecies in the genus Leopard alone are enough to destroy the 36 species of the canine family, not to mention other species such as cheetahs and American golden cats.
So does that mean that canines are much weaker than cats? In fact, it is not, if we broaden our eyes a little and count the domestic pets, then the strength of the canine family will be much stronger, and the pets of the cat family are mostly very small and have no combat effectiveness. Generally between a few kilograms and more than a dozen kilograms, domestic cats that reach 20 kilograms are considered to be very large. Among the domestic dogs, the ordinary Chinese pastoral dogs are more than 20 kilograms, and some larger individuals can reach 40 kilograms. Let's list some of the fierce dogs with super combat effectiveness.
Caucasian dog, The Caucasian dog is a very large dog breed, which can reach 80 kg in size. Coupled with its thick and thick hair, it looks even more powerful on the outside. It is a national treasure of Russia, and it has served as a shepherd's sheepdog for a long time, and even for a time it served as a patrol dog of the Berlin Wall, not to mention that thieves did not dare to come close, even the fierce Siberian big bad wolf, when it met the sheep guarded by Caucasian dogs, would take a detour and did not dare to attack.
Kangao dog, Kangao dog is also a relatively large dog breed, it is Turkey's most famous fierce dog, in terms of size, will not lose to the Caucasian dog, but the hair of this dog is not so long, so visually it feels smaller. The Kangao dog is very fierce and extremely intimidating, if you have a Kangao dog, then you don't have to worry about the family being patronized by thieves. The Kangao Dog is strong in combat, ordinary beasts are not its opponents, even if the snow leopard comes, it is estimated that it will be a defeated general.
Dogo, Dogo is a ferocious dog breed because they were bred to deal with fierce mountain lions. At the same time, the Dogo is also a very good hunting dog, and the best thing is to catch wild boars. If trained, they will adopt tactics to trap wild boars until their owners arrive, rather than biting them to death. The Dogo dog looks bad on the outside, it has a large mouth, pink hunched lips, it looks like a blood basin mouth.
Central Asian Shepherd, many people may not know much about the Central Asian Shepherd, because in many fierce dog rankings, the Ranking of the Central Asian Shepherd is relatively low, but this does not mean that it is not strong enough, on the contrary, the Central Asian Shepherd is strong, generally able to reach sixty or seventy kilograms, most of the fierce dogs are not its opponents. The Central Asian Shepherd is a very old dog breed that has always been used as a guard dog for cattle and sheep, and if you talk about strength alone, it is estimated to be able to compete with gray wolves.
Tibetan mastiff, Tibetan mastiff we are familiar with a lot, it is a unique breed of fierce dog in China, although in recent years the reputation of the Tibetan mastiff is not very good, many people as long as the mention of it will be scorned. But the Tibetan mastiff we are talking about here refers to the purebred native Tibetan mastiff, not the mastiff dogs that are not popular for viewing today. The original Tibetan mastiff has a very fierce personality, just listening to its call, it will make people tremble in their hearts, its cold and deep eyes have the effect of retreating without fighting, and many beasts are not opponents of Tibetan mastiffs.
