A study recently concluded that small dogs are more likely to be agressive and attack strangers than the larger breeds. The researchers discovered that while Dachshunds, chihuahuas and Jack Russell terriers came up top for aggressiveness, Brittany spaniels, greyhounds and whippets were the most docile.

    • Dachshunds are more likely to bite in their senior years due to back pains. Dachshunds were bred for hunting Badger. Their specific design for Badger hunting could be the reason why they are so fearless and tenacious. Notice their thick and sturdy claws, they were designed for intense digging.

      I've seen the good and bad in all sorts of breeds. From my ten years working with animals i must agree that smaller dogs are more likely to bite.

      Please refer to my comment on the Pitbull Hysteria pod.

    • Bulldogs deserve more credit. Not only are half of high school mascots bulldogs, bulldogs aren't even in Nintendogs! And those daschund bitches get their own version...

    • I don't think it is a napoleon complex, i think it is a survival tactic. smaller things are more easily taken advantage of, i would probably bark a lot more too if i was 1 foot tall.

      Pitbulls are really good dogs. they are very loyal they just need alot of love and attention. some people do not need too have these dogs. If a person works all the time and does not have the time to take good care of an animal they just do not need to have any animals. they all need love ands affection. as long as they have the upbringing they need they are good dogs
