Firstly, it is important to know that each autonomous community has its own regulations, although in general the classification of potentially dangerous dogs (PPP) is based on the breed and characteristics of the dog.

-Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Akita Inu, Tosa Inu, Fila Brasileiro,Dogo Argentino, Rottweiler,American Staffordshire Terrier.
