No, not really. But I have heard some bad things about how they are feisty. I'm just saying the whole species needs looking at, it's not only fighting dogs. Some dogs breeds need to be bred with other breeds to make one bigger one with more diversity and some need to stop having pups and some need a bit of attention and improving upon.
My poodle and my mom's 3 other poodles are anything but fiesty. I have no idea where you heard that, but they are great dogs that are very intelligent and obedient. At least the larger varieties.
I've always been a bit skeptical of the "dog temperament" being closely related to the dog breed.
The only real trend I've noticed is that bigger dogs tend to be way more chill and happy to engage in petting and cuddling
But I think that’s what it is. Poodles are very intelligent and high energy. They need that mental stimulation and regular activity, or they will act out.
My pitbull is more low key. She’s fine with snoozing most of the day and doesn’t want to walk if it’s raining. The positive trait that gets her in trouble is she is very protective. Woe to anyone that comes up behind me
Yeah, that’s my experience too: smaller poodles are likely to be feisty. Out of all the dozens or hundreds of dogs I’ve interacted with, the only one to bite and draw blood was a toy poodle.
That didn’t stop me from owning one, treating him right, and getting a fantastic loving gentle pet out of it.
But poodles have weak teeth/jaws, and are little. Not that I’m encouraging getting bitten, nor of punting to defend yourself, but you could.
Meanwhile my current pit bull rescue is the most cuddly, gentle, but loyal and protective dog I’ve ever owned. I can confidently stick my hand in her mouth to grab the slice of moldy pizza she grabbed off the ground. But she’s big. And powerful. With jaws that destroy even the strongest chew toys. There is always that worry that if she did bite, the results would be very different from the poodle.
I really dont see how pit bulls are painted as fierce unpredictable beasts, but they are big and powerful.
