I dont think any breed is 'aggressive' some are more protective than others but aggressive to me = unstable, lack of training and socialization etc...
I second this. There are plenty of 'aggressive' poodles out there, not because of the breed but because of lack of training (OK maybe they are genetically nutty too...I don't know cause I would never own one).
My only concern is that if you think you are going to get a big paw that isn't going to DESTROY your house, you should very seriously consider getting something else. Even a well behaved dog will drool, fart, smear your windows, scratch to go out, or back inside, track mud/dirt in, wipe their face off on your best pantsuit, get sick and have diarrhea on your (formerly) nice carpet, lean on everything, leaving behind fur and, over time, brown grime...give me a few more minutes I'm JUST getting started.
In my humble opinion, the choice to get a big paw is the choice to never again have a pristine/clean/non dogged house. We limit Pookie to our living room (where we are 90% of the time, and his fur goes into the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, upstairs...whe

He dug a hole in the yard, right in the grass, to lay in...And trust me, he is a GOOD dog. A large breed can be 99% perfect and still do MAJOR damage. If you are unfortunate enough to get a dog that isn't mostly perfect, you can add lots more damage to the list...furnitu

Just some realistic food for thought! Happy dog hunting!!!
