If youÕre thinking about adding a new dog in you household, there are more things to consider besides making the time to care and walk for a dog. All breeds have varying temperaments. While some dogs may be to downright docile or aggressive, other canines vacillate between amicable and testy:

Ð Chihuahuas Ð these small yet mighty little creatures may not be child-friendly; as they have a propensity for being snappish children and forget about leaving them with any tots.

Ð Chow Chows do better one-on-one. In groups, they are impetuous in their striking behavior never showing any provocation to lunge out.

Ð Dachshunds, as dashing as this elongated breed is, they do not possess much patience.

Ð Giant Schnauzers can be quite a domineering breed; so much so that they often challenge not only their owners but other people and dogs too.

Ð Llasa Apso should be kept away from excitable, prank playing children. This breed will not stand for any shenanigans from the kids.

Ð Miniature Pinschers can be quite Napoleonic in that they suffer from the Òbig dog-little bodyÓ complex. In order to accommodate for their height they show many aggressive tendencies.

Ð Old English Sheepdogs are perfect for the owner whoe wants to feel adored and protected. If this dog even thinks someone is in too close proximity of their masters, they will deliver some aggression to drive their point.
Ð Rottweilers have a renowned reputation for being involved an innumerous in aggressive incidents.

Ð The Pekinese has its share of mood swings.

- Toy Poodles can be quite squeamish. As a result, they quite often misconstrue playfulness as a threat, meaning they strike out via biting.
