Aggressive behavior is independent of gender, breed or combination of breeds. Dogs could exhibit aggression at any age and can display aggression in one way, or a combination of ways. Each example of aggression found below may develop and triggers for each dog may vary.

Examples of Aggression:

Innate- some dogs are simply born meaner than others again, any breed, gender or cross-bred dog can be aggressive.

Territorial and learned aggression- most common example of aggression or; protective tendencies

Survival Mode- the dog takes it upon itself to serve on its own at all costs

Fear - The most misunderstood and misdiagnosed type of aggression. A lot of dogs are thought to be fearful when they are not and are expressing other signs of distress.

Prey instinct- some dogs are determined to take down anything moving, from small animals to joggers to automobiles 

These are the most common examples of aggression, and your dog may be exhibiting other kinds of aggression or even a combination of aggressive behaviors.
