Most aggressive dog?
9 Answers
I recently read a report stating the top 10 most aggressive dogs and was very surprised to see the dachshunds were top of the list. I'm seriously thinking for getting a dachshund puppy soon. I would like to hear from owners of dachshunds to find out about their experiences, good and bad. Thanks.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.There are good and bad in all breeds, and this was just one of those daft surveys that newspapers carry out, this time from hospital records of bites. Most bites do not get reported, and it was pleasing to see that Rotts and Staffs did not figure high up on the list, but the poor old Lab did, as did the Daxie. I know dozens of Daxies that have superb temperaments, and it is a case of finding a reputable breeder who only sell to suitable homes, and then socialising your puppy with people and animals. Contact one of the breed clubs to find a suitable breeder in your area.

Thanks for all your replies,
I have only had 2 dogs, both mixed breeds and from rescue centres and both were puppies so I know how important it is to socialise puppies. The first lived for 15 years and the second for 17 years. But if you read any literture on dogs they all talk about traits that the breed show. Any I have read say that dachs are loyal loving dogs. So it's a Doxie for me then. thanks for your coments
