I knew about BC's (Border Collies) being top but surprised about Poodles. Since Standard Poodles are usually scared of their own shadows, not kidding! At my work, we had this one Poodle snapping at us (Bitting & Growling) when we were getting him out of his crate so he could go outside.

Then on another hand, Labrador Retrievers are being over-bred so we get lots of stupid yellow labs (about 25-30 a week) All they want to do is bark, hump other dogs, and be over agressive about rocks and leafs laying on the ground cause they want to retrieve it.
