Particularly with rat dogs. We selectively bred smaller and smaller dogs to the point that they could easily fit into tight areas that vermin occupy, making them more effective at killing whole mischeifs of rats.

Terriers are an example of this. Small, energetic and a very high prey drive. Excellent for hunting rats and keeping them out of livestock feed.

Let's not forget dachshunds. Any dog breed that dares to enter tight tunnels where no one else can help them and take on rabid badgers is badass and far away from being an useless vanity breed like a chinchilla or pug.

Yeah Dachs can actually be vicious little cunts. But, I gotta ask, did you mean chihuahuas or chinchillas?

Actual hunting dogs like terriers aren't too bad. I'm thinking more of the ones we froze in a developmental stage prior to birth because someone thought it was cute.

Oh yeah ok. Chihuahua, pug, shihtzu, Papillion etc are all trash breeds. I used to think Boston Terriers were also shit but after doing some research I found they were originally bred as pit dogs so there has to be something of worth there.
