Info that will help you decide on a breed
Staffordshire Bull Terrier is small dog that is physically strong, definitely a mans dog that's for sure. It is a medium shedder and is not good at all around small pets, so if you have a cat then this dog is a big no no.
Beagle doesn't look as fierce as the Staffy yet it can still be classed as a guys dog, I suppose it acts a little like a human male, will not react when it is onto a scent. LOL.
French Bulldog is another strong strong looking dog that is most definitely a manly mans dog. It loves to play and does not require a great deal of exercise, perfect dog for all you lazy men out there.
Boston Terrier is a mean looking dog, although it is a good natured little dog, so does not act how it looks.
Basenji looks like a little scrappy terrier dog, if you want a manly dog that does not bark at all then this is the one for you.
Patterdale Terrier looks a little rough around the edges and being a hunter actually is. You would definitely not be ashamed to walk around with this little dog if you are a manly kind of guy.
Rat Terrier is another rather fierce looking dog breed, definitely not one for the ladies. However, it is a rather affectionate dog that is good with children too.
Shiba Inu is a dog that is reluctant to show their feelings and will not bark at all. What does this remind you of, definitely a mans dog this one.
German Hunting Terrier is another scruffy, fierce looking small dog breed perfect for a guy to own. These have high energy and will not be suited to all you lazy men out there.
Brazilian Terrier looks like a muscled up Jack Russell terrier, you will definitely feel manly walking around with this dog. Looks like it is ready for a fight all the time, needs to be kept well socialised to be tolerable around other dogs.
Toy Manchester Terrier is a small dog yet it is rather strong and not as gentle as it appears in size. Looks like a scrappy little dog, it is reserved around strangers.
Smooth Fox Terrier is a handsome Brazilian terrier really, still definitely a guys dog though. If you want a dog that likes to show off then this is the one for you.
Parson Russell Terrier is a feisty little dog with high energy levels, not for men that don't have a lot of time available for exercise with the dog. Good news if you are a man looking for a small dog to go jogging with.
Schipperke is a dog that really does love to bark and unlike most of the others listed here is a high shedder.
Jack Russell Terrier is one of the most popular small dog breeds for guys, it looks like a mans dog and pretty much behaves like one too.
Border Terrier even though looks like a little scruff is actually a rather sweet-natured little dog. Probably not the most manly dog on the list, yet it does make a really good watch dog.
Miniature Pinscher is a mean strong looking breed, it is a lively dog that is very easily aroused.
Japanese Terrier even though looks like a mans dog is going to be difficult to get hold of, this is a rare breed.
