These are the 5 dog breeds that can even face a hyena. Fifth is the dogo argentino, this boar hunter is powerful enough to face the striped hyena. The striped hyenas are smaller than the African spotted ones. Number 4, neopolitan mastiff, this Roman dog is the direct descendant of the huge molossian dog which conquered the whole world as a fighter war dog. Number 3 is the bandog, you can imagine their temperament by their name, this dog is a mix of the neopolitan mastiff with the pitbull terrier, which makes it a powerful as well as an agile dog. Number 2 is the boerboel, I've choosen boerboel over kangal because boerboels are bred specifically to face the South African spotted hyena, the toughest hyenas which give a tough competition to the lions. And the number 1 is the great molossian itself, although they are extinct now, but they are the father of today's mastiffs and huge dog breeds such as Tibetan mastiff.
