Dogs are the most preferred pets that people like to own. If you are planning to buy or adopt a dog as a pet, there are some breeds you should not possess.
A user asked the forum, “What breed of dog breed you wouldn’t own and why?” Here are the top responses.
HUSKIES
“Huskies are too high maintenance and loud for me, but they are super adorable.”
SHELTIES
“Shelties. They’re cute, but their drive to hear things drives me crazy. My Mother-In-Law(MIL) had two, and they would nip at my legs to try and get me to go where they wanted.
Once, I saw them trying to herd the chairs around the dining room table. They’re a little crazy if they aren’t given work.”
AKITAS
“Akita’s because they are one-person dogs, and if you aren’t that person, you’ll get nothing from them but indifference.”
PITBULLS
“Pitbulls. I know plenty of people have them without issues, but I wouldn’t want to deal with a dog that’s so prone to anxiety, and the results of that anxiety/reactivity would be devastating.”
BELGIAN MALINOIS
“Belgian Malinois because I am way too lazy to keep up with the intensity they bring. I also can’t own a dog smarter than me.”
FRENCH BULLDOGS
“French bulldogs, or any dog breeds with breathing issues, end up living a sad life,” said one.
“French bulldogs. They’re predisposed to many health issues due to years of unethical breeding methods like spinal problems, breathing difficulties, etc,” another added.
DOODLES
“Doodles. I worked at a doggy daycare. Every third dog that came through the door was a doodle. They were all jerks.”
JACK RUSSELL’S AND MIN PINS
“Jack Russel’s and Min pins are way too high energy for my liking.”
DACHSHUND
“Dachshund because chronic pain.”
MALINOIS
“Malinois. I’ve had dogs all my life, and I know enough that I wouldn’t be able to train one how they need to be trained. Don’t get me wrong, they are incredible dogs but should only be owned by experienced handlers.”
PUGS
“Pugs. Ugly inbred asthma attacks on legs. For the love of god, stop breeding them.”
DOGFISH
“Dogfish. Finding a collar that fits is impossible.”
BORDER COLLIE
“Border collie. I have them and love them. They’re too smart for the average pet owner. They’re great, but not for the average pet owner. They require a lot of attention and stimulation.”
INBRED LITTLE DOGS
“Inbred little dogs raised by my deceased aunt who never trained them and has abandonment issues and congenital disabilities.”
CHIHUAHUA
“Chihuahua. These things are just rats with big heads. Can’t stand them.”
GREAT PYRENEES
“Great Pyrenees, the slobber is so bad, you might as well post a wet floor danger sign in your house.”
BICHON FRISE
“Bichon Frise. I knew one; he tapped constantly and chewed up my retainer, and I was blamed for leaving it where he could get it when he shouldn’t have been where it was.”
GREAT DANE
“Great Dane. They’re so cool, but the space requirements and food bills are crazy.
Also, chihuahua. Like owning a moody sewer rat that learned how to bark.”
KELPIES
“Kelpies are way too hyperactive. Chill out, buddy.”
GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG
“German Shepherd dog is a large, agile, muscular dog.”
SCHIPPERKES
“Schipperkes. My roommate’s brother brought one when he moved in, which isn’t very good. They are deceptively cute looking, but they are terrible house dogs.”
