The name PPP (potentially dangerous dogs) is a catalog that encompasses dogs that, due to their characteristics, could cause serious injury or even death if they attacked . This does not mean, under any circumstances, that they are more prone to attack.
That said, a potentially dangerous dog needs, like any other dog, even the most adorable one, a correct socialization that teaches him to behave with other canids and with people. On too many occasions, incidents that have a PPP as protagonists occur because their human has not cared at all about his education, indeed, he has educated him precisely in aggressiveness . We also want to emphasize that just as not all Spaniards have the same character, not all dogs of a certain breed are the same , each individual is unique and must be considered as such.
It is true that there will be behaviors that not because they are classified as PPP but because they are large, dominant and with a powerful bite that we will have to avoid, such as those related to sharing food or water with other dogs. We recommend that if you are thinking of adopting one of the dogs indicated as PPP, you should be advised by a trainer . He is the one who can provide the best guidelines for your dog to be a balanced and affable being with humans and the rest of the members of the dog world.
Next, we will tell you which are the breeds classified as PPP by Royal Decree 287/2002, which develops Law 50 of December 23, 1999. You must also bear in mind that if your dog is a mixture of one of These breeds and another canid (whether this PPP or not) will also be considered potentially dangerous as well as if it meets all or most of the characteristics that are set out in Annex II of the aforementioned Royal Decree and that we also detail. One last note, each autonomous community has its own PPP list, so we suggest that you make sure that yours is on that list or not in view of the obligations that are required of the owners of these dog breeds.
