Dogs With Powerful Bites: These are the 11 breeds of adorable dog who have the strongest bite - including the strong Bulldog

2. Dobermann
While large Dobermanns, also known as Doberman Pinschers, may cost you more than other dogs when it comes to pet food, they'll not require the services of a groomer. A weekly brush will get rid of any loose hair and that's all they need to maintain a healthy and shiny coat.

3. Great Dane
Given their enormous size, it's fortunate that they don't need much grooming - it would be a full time job. Their short coats require minimal attention - just the occasional brush.
