3. Pekingese
The third aggressive small dog breed we’ll talk about in today’s article is the Pekingese. This breed is known for its agility, obedience, and also for being a great watchdog.
They get along well with both humans and other animals, and with the proper training sessions and love from their families, they can be fantastic companions.
Pekingese pups were originally bred for hunting, and they roamed in groups. They’re a hybrid between a white brier and a tan. They’re very loyal to their families, and in case they feel threatened by something, they won’t shy away from galloping up to 10 miles per hour to chase away anybody.
If you want a Pekingese in your family, take your time playing with them and introducing them to the family, because they need to socialize so they can be the friendliest pups ever.

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.
