Akita Inu and Shiba Inu
These Japanese breeds are becoming more and more popular in our country every year. But they are not at all as cute as they might seem at first glance. Akita and Shiba are distrustful of strangers, they can show aggression towards both other dogs and children. Of course, they are unlikely to harm family members, but, for example, if friends come to visit the child, the dog may react badly to this.

Chihuahua
It is better not to start this breed if you have a small child, for several reasons at once. First, the Chihuahua is the smallest dog, and a child can accidentally harm her. Secondly, these dogs themselves are like children – they are very attached to the owner and can begin to be jealous of him for the child. And this, in turn, will easily result in aggression.
In fact, for the same reasons, you should not have other small dogs, such as the Toy Terrier , Papillon and Russian Toy .
