About any breed of dog, or your pacific dog.
Boxers: Boxers are known to jump up and use their front paws as if they are boxing. They are very clownish and playful and have been known to grab and carry ANYTHING around including your knickknacks if he thinks he can get away with it. The Boxer's nature is to protect you, your family, and your home.

Jack Russel:
Um… Originally bred to catch rats? They're very hyper and are used in commercials and such since they're energetic and fast-learners. They're crafty and will often try to find ways to outsmart their owners.

I have a boerboel whose fearless. He'll go toe to toe with a mountain lion. He may not win, but he won't back down. They have a slight stubborn trait when it comes to things that might be dangerous. I've personally seen him chase off one that was eying our calves. He had such ferocity, I almost felt bad for the poor big kitty. (but not bad enough to let him eat our cows, which are also our pets) Weird huh? Anyways…
He also goes on patrols around the ranch, and around our livestock. I've never had a dog do that, or seen it before. He always makes sure everything is as it should be.
To the point…
A boerboel is fearless. They're amazing homestead guardians, and the books won't tell you this, but they have the sweetest cuddles.
I also must add an incredibly unusual trait that the boerboel possess. They have a 6th sense. What I mean by that, is they're so in tune with their owners, that they can tell when your scared, or uneasy. Then without any command from the owner, they will seek out the source of your fear, and eliminate it. That's also why only experienced owners of boerboels should have them. That can be very dangerous.
Another dog of mine, is a red nose APBT. He came from a long line of great hunting dogs. His name is Big Red, because my husband thought he'd be huge like his parents. But alas, that was not for him. So Big Red is technically Little Red, but we quickly discovered he was justly named when his dynamite personality exploded. What a dog!
One word describes this dog, and all other APBT's best of all, and that's determination. Whether it's digging into the couch for buried treasure, or demolishing a ball that's too big for his mouth, (Indestructible ball, my foot), or even just making sure he licked every square millimeter of my face. They never give up.

I'll add cool things about my other dogs as I think of them.
Chihuahuas are apparently known to love burying under your blankets, and my Chihuahua X ("Deer" Chihuahua, aka mutt!) sleeps in my bed with me. Sometimes we think she got out of the house (she likes to go over to our neighbour's house, where they have a couple little doggy friends of hers) because she sleeps under the covers all the time, but if you call her there will be a little rustle and she'll stick her nose out of a hole. I find it absolutely hilarious, because there will be this lump of wriggling blanket and out pops her pink nose, but she won't come out.
They're also known for thinking they are big dogs, and Stella never backs down to a challenge no matter the size.. that is, until it comes after her, in which she promptly runs between my legs. Hahaha. Of course, I do not encourage this behaviour. I'm working on curbing her dog aggression, I'm getting closer, now she's only selective aggressive. I haven't exactly got bragging rights though.

Me and my neighbors found her outside their house. Anyway, they took her in and this was their 1st dog. They didn't care when she got out and most of the time me and my brother ended up bringing her home to them. Long story, short she got pregnant while out one day. They didn't know how to birth pups, yet I do. So, they dumped her on me, I love her though. Now her puppies are 4 wks. old and very healthy, except for a small problem of fleas. Which I'm taking care of right now.
