Dachshund (Standard smooth)
The Dachshund was originally bred in Germany during the 17th century as a small dog breed used to hunt small game animals; this means that their strong hunting instincts do not go well with small pets like hamsters or kittens. They also have what many other small dogs have – the tendency to overcompensate for their small size by having a big attitude, which can often lead to behavior problems. Overall they are not particularly dangerous for children, but they don’t do well with rough play and tend to become aggressive if they feel they are being manhandled too much.

Dalmatian
Dalmatians were originally bred for hunting game and small rodents, and have been used for guarding purposes in the past too. Despite being portrayed in films such as 101 Dalmatians as friendly and cute, they are generally quite reserved when it comes to other dogs; meaning they require constant socialization and affection from their owners. They also have tons of energy to release, so if you have small children and not a lot of time they may be difficult dogs to have in the family home.
