I have nothing but hate for people that breed problem dogs. Not just talking aggression. But a lot of races have very known medical problems.

Small short dogs very often get back problems. E.g. Corgis, yes they look cute. But very soon they will live in a world of chronic pain. That's not cool.

Don't even get me started on pugs or Chihuahuas...

Or Frenchies. I briefly wanted one until I considered having to watch it struggle and suffer across its life.

Aggression is not bred

Even if this were true, it's not just the aggression. It's also the biting power. At the end of the day, I could stomp a Chihuahua, but I get scared when my own 90lb German Shepherd comes running towards me because he is terrible at slowing down.

Yeah, we can breed dogs however we want to, so why not breed dogs that are less dangerous? Not to mention less prone to health issues just because we think they're cute when they have a nose so small that they can barely breathe. Dogs breeds aren't sacred, most of them are a very recent phenomenon. Breed for positive traits, both for them and us.

Bullshit if dogs can be breed to do certain stuff they can be breed for aggression. Like pitbulls literally where. My dog herds never been trained or anything but instinctively does it.

And yes lots of small dogs are assholes because of their owners but if they attack nothing bad happens.

Yeah so this is wrong.

Ah yes, those pesky chihuahuas and their bite force of 235 PSI and 60% fatal attack rate 🙃

Aggression and danger are often inversely correlated.

My neighbours had a small hunting terrier when i was a kid, forgot the name of the breed. Fucking asshole dog tried to bite me every time she saw me although i went in and out there every day. Also she killed everything that moved, cats, birds, hedgehogs, ...

Neighbour was a hunter and those fuckers were bred to follow badgers into their sett and kill them. Badgers can be quite nasty themselves so most animals stay away, but not this breed. Only chance the badger has is to kill the dog, even if half of its nose is bitten off, it doesn't give a shit.

So I'm a bit sceptical about the whole "aggression is not bred" theory.

This is true but it's part of what makes chihuahuas awesome. My ex had a chihuahua that we raised from a puppy. We were totally nice and he was still psycho. He would attack me if I woke him up too early in the morning. I had to pick him up in a huge pillow as defense. He would go bananas trying to attack strangers but it's only because he was "defending" himself and our pack. The worst part of breaking up is missing that dude. Awesome dog.

Also lots of chihuahuas are totally chill.
