From number 10, the least of the top 10 most aggressive dogs, to the number one most aggressive dogs, they're all cute. Yes, these dogs have a bad rep, but does that mean they don't make great pets? Absolutely not! Even being the most "aggressive", these pets can be awesome animals, and also the cutest of all breeds.

Here are the top 10 aggressive dogs in their cutest, most lovable, "best pet" ways.

10.) Siberian Husky

While some may be shocked that the Husky is on the top 10 list, they passed with an 86.6% passing score in the aggression test. Doesn't mean they can't be the most lovable dogs out there! They're also described as loyal, dependent, and big cuddle bugs.

9.) American Staffordshire/ Pit Bull Terrier

NUMBER 9?!? WHAT?! Yes, Pit Bulls are rated as number 9, not number one like how some treat them. Pit Bulls can be territorial and protective, but if raised right and loved by their owners, they are one of the best pets to have!



8.) German Shepard

German Shepards sometimes have a bad reputation as well, unfortunately. but don't believe what you hear! They may have an intimidating bark, but they're nothing to be afraid of. Did you know because of their high intelligence, they can be used as service animals for the blind and other disabilities! Just look at that face!


7.) Jack Russell Terrier

Can you believe a little Jack Russell Terrier is on this list? Sure, they're called "ankle biters," but they're stinkin' adorable! Jack Russell Terriers like their sleep and like to stick to their people meaning they don't like strangers. So when meeting one for the first time, make sure you introduce yourself right.


6.) Rottweiler

Some know Rottweilers as mean and ferocious, but others know them as sensitive, big teddy bears! Rottweilers actually use to be used to hunt bears, so weird! While they are powerful, they're also loving, loyal, and great with kids!


5.) Dalmatian

Dalmatians are one of the most beautiful dogs out there, but they can be a little sassy. While Dalmatians are too keen on strangers or shy around other dogs, they do love whoever their owner is. As long as they are given enough attention from their owners, it is said no behavioral issues should arise! They tend to have separation anxiety, but who doesn't with people they love!


4.) Doberman Pinscher

According to the AKC, Doberman Pinschers have a very strong, protective instinct towards their masters, but if raised with strong leadership and good owners, they can get along with children as well as other dogs. They are very majestic animals with their confident build and very pointy ears! Dobermans are extremely smart and are often used as guard dogs and for police work!


3.) Chow Chow

Okay, so obviously the name automatically make these dogs the cutest! While their personality can be more assertive and protective, it's said that their lack of peripheral vision is to blame because they get startled very easily! Their coats can come in a variety of color including red, cream, and blue. Chow Chows are big fluffy cuddle bugs!


2.) Dachshund (Standard Smooth)

Yup, Dachshunds, or better known as "weiner dogs", are considered the second most aggressive dog breed out there. While they can be a size of 8-20 pounds, they're a tiny dogs packed with a big attitude! Imagine a teenager with a lot of attitude, that's exactly what Dachshunds are. They love their owners and want to be the center of attention which is not a bad thing! Also, if you have a mice problem, get a Dachshunds. They're natural hunters for them.

1.) Chihuahua

Little ole Chihuahua is rated as the number one most aggressive dog. Yes, they are proven to be more aggressive than Pit Bulls and Rottweilers. Like Dachshunds, they suffer from "small dog syndrome" because of their big prominent attitude. While they may be a bit sassy, they aren't anything to worry about. They are sweet to people, but because of their size, they are very often scared of people! But don't worry, if you can introduce yourself to them the right way, you'll be best friends in no time!


While these "top 10" dogs get a bad rep, they are some of the sweetest dogs making some of the best pets! Any of these dogs, along with any other breed, can be raised to be an awesome pet in the right conditions! Provide love, obedience, and leadership for your dog and you'll have the best pet in the world whether on this scale or not!

    Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

    This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

    Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
