7. Miniature Bull Terrier
Many people know that one of the most aggressive small dog breeds is the miniature bull terrier. These cute pups will bite and eat everything in their way.
If you’re looking for a pup that will protect your family no matter what, you should know this one won’t be a great fit, but it makes wonderful companions.
Get ready to play a lot with this intelligent and very energetic pup, and don’t forget to have a ton of patience during training because they won’t shy away from causing trouble.
These dogs tend to get upset if they have no idea what to do, so biting training should be started as soon as possible. When your bull terrier is ready for play, you can tell by closely observing the cues they give you, including sniffing, circling, or shifting around. Take them to proper training sessions, and they will become your besties in no time!

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.
