My current dog is a Papillon. Never met a person she didn't like. It's all in how you raise them. A lot of people don't correct small dogs, so they do whatever they want. The Chihuahua my brother raised after I left for University was a hellion, except toward me. He would pee on people and bite others. Even if you were just leaving the house, he would bark. Brother thought it was funny.
I think my pug is part Chihuahua instead of part beagle... She can be nippy and it's not because I trained her wrong. She always wants to protect me, I'm the alpha and all my dogs will "protect" me even if it's from a squirrel.
If I bring Molly with me on a ride, at red lights if anyone stares at me she'll start barking at themive traveled all over with this dog. She's never bit anyone, she's just protective of her things like my car.
that’s hilarious! Pugs can be pretty feisty haha
Ok Noah, when you get the ark built, you can get 2 of each breed!I think all the idiot owners give them a bad rep! Although they can definitely be feistier than some dogs haha but it can all be managed and taught what’s acceptable like any dog (or kid) should be. They do seem like smart, sweet little dogs when raised right.
Poodles are another one frequently mismanaged.
Although I’m really loving Papillon, Havanese, Shih Tzus, and Bichons
And I’ve always thought the terriers seemed cool like Westies, Border, Cairn, etc. even the rat terriers. and Boston although I’m not sure why they’re labeled terriers since they seem closer to bulldogs haha
I think sometimes it has to do with the breeding as well. Some breeders interbreed and it causes a lot of issues. I had a Staffordshire terrier that we had to put down, she had a brain injury from inbreeding. If you looked at her the wrong way she would snap. She actually attacked 2 of my dogs and me. Scariest moment in my life.My current dog is a Papillon. Never met a person she didn't like. It's all in how you raise them. A lot of people don't correct small dogs, so they do whatever they want.

I love terriers. My mom wants to get some type of terrier I forgot what it is though. She has a Yorkie right now.
She is hilarious. She is 10 years old and my husband loves her, she hated him until the day he gave her a treat. She would sneeze in his drinks and on his food

same behavior. Should be corrected and/or trained out just the same. Same with jumping. A little dog does it, it’s adorable. Big huge dog, not so much. Especially with muddy paws. I’m not sure why people don’t expect the same manners from their little dogs as they do their big dogs. Maybe because they can’t do as much damage? Or because they genuinely don’t see a problem? Who knows. But I would NOT want to live with a dog like that. Most of them are so annoying too with all the demand behaviors and begging for attention and it gets rewarded because “OMG so adorable” or aww she loves me. Or the dogs that constantly bark 24/7 because “that’s just what she does”
Jolene is poodle, Yorkie, Chihuahua, and Jack Russel. She has the best personality I think. She's not mouthy or Yippy. She listens and has lots of energy, she keeps the cat calm by running him tired.I think all the idiot owners give them a bad rep!
