Cocker spaniels are such handsome dogs with tremendous character. Glad to hear he is on the non-aggressive side…

Little cute dogs tend to be owned by coddling owners who think it’s funny when fluffy gets aggressive and thus encourage/reinforce that behavior. Owners are always the problem when it comes to aggressive dogs, regardless of breed. If one breed does more biting than others it’s because owners who tolerate that behavior are more inclined to own that breed. Whatever breed passive submissive owners favor is the breed that most frequently will become dominant aggressive as a result.

Dachshunds #1?!? Pit Bulls #6? Give me a break. I’ve heard one story of a dachshund being so agressive that it caused a fatality, and in that case, the parents were being irresponsible, rarely do they ever cause need for stitches. I’ve owned dachhunds for years and yes, one of them even bit my daughter, while she was arguing with her boyfried, just breaking the skin, no stitches required. This dog was a rescue so I have no idea what her background was. My others have a tendency to be very protective but have never been aggressive unless they feel threatened. Even then they may snarl or growl but that’s it. If it came down to it, you could kick a dachshund off of you easily if it attacks. Not so with a Pit Bull who again, showed up in the news just a few days ago for mauling a little girl requiring dozens of stitches. Please be more realistic and responsible in relaying your information.

I have a 3 years old Dachshund and she´s soo lovely.. so quite with people, really loves to be touched by people and kids.. I can´t believe that appears as number One in the list…

I think that It depends of how you trained it. If you spent time with him or not, if you provide him love, fun and time!!!

Oh please, my Akita is a big lap dog and would’nt hurt a fly. He would only hurt someone if he felt his family was in danger.

Can someone help, we have a 9 month old boxer that we adore she is wonderful BUT her version of getting you to play is to bite your ankles and when you ignore that and turn your back and ignore her she goes after your arms, I have three children so obviously unacceptable. If you saw her she is not agressive we can take food, toys and anything away but we are at the point that we feel we will need to find a new home for her so definately heartbroken.
Oh and we have tried dog trainers and non felt she is agressive.

Please give advice

I believe it is half nature (genetics) and half nurture (the way they are raised). I myself have SEVERAL Jack Russells and never ever not one problem. Never been bit nor have they bit anyone else.

I think proper breeding is where we will be able to turn all breeds around that have bad reputations.

I have some great info and links if interested…

Thanks, Sheila @ connemaraterrier.com

Pookie wrote: “Hm, how shall he get the leashes off” ’cause this dog is furious at this point. So I get a pooper-scooper rake and she uses the handle to try to get the leashes off and it dives, fangs bared, not for her arms or hands or the rake but, as with me, her face and throat.

Well, well, what a wonderful way to treat what is obviously already an extremely frightened, reactive dog. Yes, you taught that dog to be calm nicely.
This is the reason I never put trust in any other person to care for the only beings I have ever known to offer nothing but “unconditional love”.
So, the dog did not show any body language that would indicate that she was in some way fearful, or as you would call it, aggressive? If you work at a kennel you should research body language of the animals you work with. In my years of working with many species of animals, when an act of aggression occurred there was always a sign given before actually acting.
Some people really have no business having animals, let alone work with them. especially when you are working with other people’s pets.
There are people who claim to “love” animals and there are those who are indeed “animal people”. Not all animal people have animals or work with them, and in some cases, some animal lovers do not have animals.
Human Ego can really get out of hand too. For some reason, there are those people who have no business having a maggot as a pet, yet here they are with all kinds of animals. They do not enjoy the animals except when they are given attention for having the animals.
Honestly, it is not the breeds that should be banned at all. There really should be some sort of method to determine whether or not a person is fit to take an animal into their possesion. All of the things we have to have permits requiring certain qualifications and another living being is never considered.
