The study prompted headlines like this one from the Daily Mail: "Why Sausage dogs are really just four-legged fiends" and this one from the Telegraph: "Sausage dogs are the most aggressive dogs.". Man, those Brits just have sausage on the brain.
Anyway, I don't have much to say about this, but I just thought it was weird. Over at the always fun and informative The Long and Short of It you'll find much more on this story.
I just want to go on record that I've never bitten anyone and the only time I growl is when I'm playing with my Dad. And even then, my tail is wagging.
This quote makes my day: "Known as sausage dogs for their elongated bodies, dachshunds have not, until now, had a fearsome reputation, although they were originally bred to hunt badgers..."
So now I have a "fearsome reputation?" Great, now people are going to cross to the other side of the street when they see me coming.

I have to say I am not surprised Chihuahuas are number 2... their size makes their aggression seem "ok"- but I never would have guessed about Dachshunds!
Woof, Chloe
It's cause the Brits drink warm beer.
Desert Pups here roaming the neighborhood and meeting everyone cause we're new in town.
Woof, woof,
