Ah, do not forget the beards! In The Hobbit, it says that the Elves like to make fun of the Dwarves, especially of their beards, and the Dwarves think them foolish. Of course, this may just be simply jesting and have absolutely nothing to do with the high and mighty tales of old.

Also, do not forget Turin! He was betrayed by Mim the Dwarf, and Mablung became aware of this. Of course, I am not comparing Mim to any of the good Folk of Durin, but he is a Dwarf, and sold out Turin for his own life. Later, he wanted to take all the wealth of Nargothrond after it was abandoned when Glaurung was slain.

I do believe, too, that there were some other darker Dwarves that allied themselves with Sauron during the Last Alliance, or maybe it's just me and my imagination?
