2. Cocker Spaniel
Popular throughout the world, the Cocker Spaniel is known for its alertness, intelligence, and willingness to please. If you’re unfamiliar with this pup or have just recently gotten your canine friend, you should know that these lovely furry friends are part of the aggressive small dog breeds.
These pups are very cute and friendly in general, and the reason they might get aggressive is because they’re not socialized with other pooches or with people, and they don’t know how to behave.
Another reason they might have suspicious behavior is because they’ve not been used to something for long enough. This could be caused by being bored, being afraid of someone or something, or being left alone in the home.
As we’ve previously said, you can easily deal with this type of bad behavior with the help of professional training sessions, taking them out in parks to socialize, and spending time together with them.

I do not agree with you that the Pekingese is a hunting dog. Where did you get your information. They were bred to not be able to run or to venture far from their owners
They are not a mix of other dogs. They have been a separate breed for many hundreds of years . Have had them for over 40 years and have never had any trouble with them being aggressive to people or other pets. You should definitely do more research on the breed.
My dog, a Bichon Frese doddle acts very aggressive. She barks at anyone or any dog that is on “her street” incessantly. Because of this my husband gets up at 3 to 4 am to walk the dogs (I have 2 of the same breed) so as not to encounter any other dogs.
Dachshunds can be a pretty aggressive breed, I’ve noticed over the past 68 years! (I sustained a mean bite from one, and was only visiting the owner in her living room and discussing recipes.)
They were bred for hunting badgers, so they are pretty bad-ass.
Many dogs (of any size) can be aggressive if poorly bred or mistreated. I have had experience with most of the dogs on this list and the only ones I agree with are the Chihuahua, the bull terrier and possibly the cocker spaniel (but individually, not as a breed). Just my opinion but . . .
As the owner of a chihuahua, I agree. They are very quick and without proper socialization, they can be dangerous. My baby has been handled by many friends and family. He is sweet and loving. However the only dog bites I have had is from ilmannsred chihuahuas. It is all in the raising. If they are socialized from puppy age, they are sweet and loving, unless they have been breeed by owners that breed family members ,which can cause mental issues.
