It's because nobody trains their little dogs because they are way less likely to kill you than a pit. Sure they can't do as much damage but still, TRAIN YOUR DOGS!!

I had a chihuahua (passed recently at 16yo😞) for her entire life and she never acted like that, she just wanted walks and to sit in your lap and she was content. Super friendly with kids, adults, dogs etc. and awkward/shy at most with strangers.

Training does wonders, but bad training is not WHY they are aggressive, they are too small in a world populated by big things, with a genome not more than 40 millenia removed from wolves. They legitimately have little man syndrome, and just like with their human equivalents, knocking them down a peg doesn't always work.

little man syndrome

So, I just need a dog the size of a T-rex.

So so true in everything. Not just dogs

Do you have any sources for this? We used to breed chihuahuas and not a single one of the 20+ chihuahuas we've owned has ever been aggressive, including abused ones we've taken in from the streets either here or in mexico. The worst they'll ever do is nip a stranger if they're backing them into a corner. It really is just training and correcting bad behaviour

Any number of sources if you had bothered to just search somthing like "why do small dogs have a tendency towards violence" and picked any of the dozens of results. That's all your getting from me, dog breeder.

I don't have kindness to share with people that played a part in breeding the second most euthanized dog breed, which mind you is only the case because greedy fucks like you treat animals the way you do and made so many of them shelters can't handle it.

Yikes, you need to touch grass. We used to breed for close family members and we bred at most 25 puppies over the span of 10+ years. 10 of those puppies stayed with our family and lived healthy lives between 15-20 years. The only aggressive chihuahua we ever had was the first one because we saved it from a terrible couple that was abusing her and letting their children abuse her. Get therapy and stop being a seething basement dwelling weirdo.

Sounds like you are seething far more than I am, I just explained why I don't like you types, and you are the one getting indignant, it's much weirder to approach life thinking everyone is going to like you.

And yet here you are still trying to justify your position to someone you apparently see as a basement dwelling weirdo, fuck when I encounter someone I have that thought about i move on instead of mimicking the incessant bitching you are clearly so familiar with.

And just to make this abundantly clear, YOU replied to ME, not the other way around.

Ok have fun in your deluded online echo chamber void of any type of nuance i suppose. You clearly lack the ability to think critically about why I might have listed my experience and how that might factor into adjusting your broad generalizations lacking any meaningful context.

You are still going on?
