20 most illegal dog breeds in the world

Imagine you happily come home one day with your newly purchased dog. Imagine that you meet a passerby and he tells you that you have just acquired an illegal breed of dog. Now you all have regrets inside, wishing you had gone to a prestigious store rather than going to that run down pet store that has seen better days. So, for your future reference, here is a list of top 20 banned dog breeds in the world.
1. Pit Bull Terrier
Originally from England, the PitBull Terrier weighs around 20 to 30 kilograms and is of medium height. This dog has a beastly appearance, with a muscular body and rows of sharp teeth. The Pitbull Terrier was used in blood sports like bull and bear baiting where packs of dogs were pitted against larger animals in a pit. Many of these sports were made illegal in 1835. In 1991, the British government banned both the breeding and possession of this dog. This was due to the fact that from 1981 to 1991 there were numerous reports of attacks, often unprovoked, on humans by Pitbull Terriers. Pitbull is banned in many countries like Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, France, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Sweden and parts of the United States and the Canada.
2. Akita Inu
Akita Inu, as the name suggests, was bred in Japan to guard the royal family and hunt bears. Akita Inus are large and powerful dogs known to possess “uncertain” temperaments. They love to walk around and are affectionate and well behaved, if properly trained. However, without proper training, an Akita Inu can cause immense damage. This is why it is banned in several regions and countries. Akita Inu is banned in Bermuda and Singapore and restricted in Spain, Ireland, the United States and Ukraine.
