If u like bulldogs maybe a french bulldog?? Much smaller than old english bulldogs.
English bulldogs are another choice much smaller than old english bulldog.
The majority of old english bulldogs i have met at the vet clinic have also been very stand offish to strangers.
However french bulldogs are usually very very friendly.
Pugs also if you like the smoosh faced breeds.
If i was worried abt agreasive dachshunds i would stay away from old english bulldogs personally.
I have met alot of nice dachshunds and a handfull of naughty ones
I will stop now, lol, i could go on and on
there are soo many breeds i love and have done way too much research. Too much time on my hands.
Also being a groomer and vet tech i have ran into sooo many breeds.
I love giving people advice when they are searching for a new dog.
Hav fun in your search
