Siberian Husky:

Great Pyrenees have some seriously strong ingrained guarding behaviors that lead them to make their own decisions. These dogs know what is required to protect their charges and will make their own decisions to prioritize protection over training.
Dachshund:
It’s not always big working dogs that are stubborn. The Dachshund is a small member of the hound group that have an incredibly strong prey drives. These little short-legged sausages would prefer to roam around a field and hunt for small prey than to listen to their handler.

If not properly socialized, Chihuahuas can be aggressive around other animals or small children. They also possess a guarding instinct that would rival some much larger dog breeds.
