Sorry, no such list exists. Most experts in dog behavior and psychology agree that specific Dog Breeds aren't naturally aggressive - individual animals are made aggressive by bad breeding, socialization and handling.

That is only partially true because different breeds have different personalities for example the terrier family allthough master dominated is agresive and instinctivly chase smaller animals because that what they was bread for. im not saying that there is primary aggressive breed but incertain situations different breeds will react in different ways regardless of there breed.

most dog that have the bad reputations i.e pit bull, staffishire bull terrier etc have the most potential to be dangerouse but are the easyer trained dogs were as at the moment sausage dogs hold the records for most bites, poodles and dalmations also snap alot. I would say that the Yorkshire terrior is another one of the most likely breeds to be agresive (little man syndrome lol). Btw its not true that dogs aren,t natyrally aggressive that's wishfull thinking they share 99.9% of their DNA with wolves they also share the same instincts and behaviour. So they arent made agressiv but if their behaviour/instincts arent corected there primative side may show.

A dog is only aggressive if you train it to be aggressive

The person is asking if they are on an aggressive list, not if they are aggressive. I have never seen them on any of the aggressive lists in my area, but check with your land lord, insurance company, or local humane society to be sure, as aggression lists tend to be at a business's own discretion.

Loving toward people from just a few weeks of age, a proper Stafford is never shy or snarly. He is energetic and enthusiastic in everything he does and remains on alert, even in repose. This breed's temperament is described as tough, courageous, tenacious (read: stubborn), and curious. A people-loving personality makes him a good caretaker of his family, but he's less likely to be protective of property. Because he's so attentive and interested in people, however, he'll always alert you to the presence of visitors, wanted or unwanted.

Can an alpha female dog be trained to get along with other dogs?

Yes, although the term "Alpha" is outdated and for the most part, erroneous. No pet dog is an "alpha" dog, especially one that is aggressive. Aggression usually stems from fear, protective, from frustration and even misdirected. Dogs who do not get along with other dogs well or are dog-aggressive can be trained to at least tolerate other dogs for the most part, although there are exceptions. A lot of dog-aggressive dogs are that way due to a negative experience with another dog in the past, and will often become fearful of all dogs as a result. Careful, but positive training can help curb this. Hiring a dog trainer or behaviourist may also help. If you have a dog that is known to be wary or aggressive to other dogs, never leave that dog unsupervised with other dogs or animals. It has been known for such pet dogs to kill other dogs or even cats while left unattended.
