[Music Begins] >> Narrator: In this list we are going to
look at the most difficult dog breeds that can give you some sleepless nights if you’re
lacking the necessary experience. We’re going to stay away from listing dogs
simply because they’re known to be aggressive, for many breeds this is a stereotype and comes
down to factors outside of the dogs biological make-up. All dogs are good dogs at heart, it’s just
some have bad owners. But before we begin be sure to like this video
and subscribe for a part two in the future. Number eight is the Pit Bull: Unfortunately the Pit Bull is a victim of
the acts of bad people who breed them for dangerous activities. For this reason, whilst the breed itself,
when properly trained, is no more dangerous than others, if you are looking to adopt a
pit bull, please look into the dogs history and compare that to your experience and home
situation e.g. children. This breed, whilst not being especially ‘violent’,
can be quite temperamental. You will also just have to accept that due
to societies understanding of this breed, there will be many people who will never really
be comfortable around this breed making arranging friendly neighbourhood dog sitters a more
difficult task in general. Also, for some reason, this breed tends to
forget just how powerful they are, making the first couple of months of training after
they gain some size, quite challenging. Pitbulls have been known to accidentally hurt
owners in the most severe cases this way. This combined with a rather difficult temperament
can make the breed a time vacuum for their trainers, chewing away at their patience as
well as the new leather sofa. Number seven is the Siberian Husky, a breed
known for its close lineage to actual wolves: Once again, this breed is incredibly active
and therefore requires a huge time commitment. Basically, if your favorite pastime is getting
home from work and falling asleep in-front of the TV, this breed isn’t for you. Having been originally bred to pull heavy
sleds through the ice dunes of the Poles, long and strenuous exercise is a must to ensure
Siberian Huskies stay happy and healthy. The husky is also rather singular in its almost
never-ending pursuit of freedom. They are a very curious breed and especially
if they aren’t being stimulated they are very likely to escape your house and pursue
their curiosities elsewhere. Thus, ensues a long chase through your neighborhood. So if you do get a Husky consider also securing
your yard or your home so they can’t find a way to escape! Huskies are also incredibly pack orientated,
a husky will have a completely different temperament towards a person based on where they rank
within the ‘pack’, or in this case, the household. For this reason, when you become the lucky
new owner of a husky, it is important that you establish yourself as the Alpha in the
household or your life can become VERY difficult. Lastly Huskies shed a lot. Most Huskies have several different coats
through the year resulting in them ‘blowing’ their coat regularly. You better buy a real good vacuum and a couple
dozen lint rollers. At number fifth we have the Rottweiler: The rottweiler can be seen to be a difficult
dog for some inexperienced owners, just because of their sheer size and athleticism. Capable of easily bowling over almost everyone
out of pure excitement alone. Of course, with this sheer size and athletic
tendencies comes the feeding requirements/costs that not everyone is able to afford. The time commitment for properly exercising
a Rottweiler is a lot more than some are able to commit too. Rottweilers are, at there core, loyal friends
to their owners. However, this loyalty brings with it a protective
streak. This streak can therefore result in the pup
misinterpreting casual events as a threat to their owner and that’s when the trouble
can start. The actual training of the breed is known
to be quite straight forward which is to be expected with intelligent breads such as these. The primary difficulty with this breed is
the stubborn streak they seem to have. Rottweilers are known to just stop co-operating
right in the middle of a good paw-shake demonstration and growl at further attempts to continue
training. This combined with the fact that the breed
might not take any orders from people they do not consider to be their owner, is troublesome
if you're thinking of hiring a 3rd party trainer. Number five is the Bullmastiff These dogs, similar to rottweilers, can easily
topple the biggest of people without much effort, with this size, the usual things in
terms of exercise and feeding (as mentioned earlier) remain important. The real problem, or difficulty for owners
of Bullmastiffs is their sheer stubbornness. They are notoriously difficult to train and
due to their large size, there is really little to be done when they have made their mind
up to not be trained on a given day. This breed also has issues with the accepted
roles of human/owner and dog/pet. Often not respecting set boundaries such as
rules regarding where they sleep or potty training, often they forget they are a dog
all together. This breed also has great difficulty in socialising
with other breeds and often refuse to intermingle with other animals within their species appearing
either hostile or aloof. And, of course, if you are thinking of owning
a Bullmastiff, get ready for drool and a lot of it. And coming in at number four we have the Chinese
Shar-Pei: This breed, whilst looking very cute and cuddly,
can be anything but. With an incredibly hard time socialising with
nearly everything that moves. The breed is known to be very loyal and loving
towards their owners, but the cute stuff ends there. Shar-Pei’s are also incredibly territorial
and this mixed with their antisocial personalities makes it very difficult for their owners to
have any guests in the home without bouts of hostility. It’s also common for owners to have to restrain
their dogs around people unfamiliar to the dog in question to stop them from attacking. Proper training can mitigate all of these
things, but that element is simply just part of the breeds make-up and is usually not fully
extinguished, making this breed a real scourge for the local doggy day care operator. Next, at number three, we have the Afghan
Hound: First of all, not to say this is a good or
bad thing, but the Afghan hound is known to be a breed with a mindset/personality resembling
a cat. They are incredibly intelligent and earn such
a comparison by being very self-centred, having a mind of their own. This can be very difficult for the typical
owner, who expects obedience or constant companionship. The breed is accepting of training up until
the point of disinterest or distraction. Often capitulating with tasks only until they’ve
had enough, refusing to repeat tasks you know they are capable of. In other words, this breed may be the most
non dog, dog, on the list and is not for the faint of heart. The two breed on this list is the Basset Hound: The question you need to ask yourself when
thinking of getting a basset hound to be your new best friend is are you prepared to search
your house for and clean your dogs potty breaks for the foreseeable future? If you said no, then this breed might no be
for you. The basset hound is known to be very hard
to housetrain and may take a longer period of time than most have the patience for. The next difficulty concerning this breed
is to do with the name of the breed itself. The basset hound is indeed a hound, therefore
if your dog gets a whiff of something interesting, then prepare to be dragged around your favourite
dog park as your dog ignores all your commands. Both of these behaviours are very difficult
to break without constant effort and experience with training dogs. And last but not least, we have the number
one difficult breed, the Chow Chow: This breed is also a lot for any owner to
handle. Chow Chows are very stubborn and temperamental,
occasionally showing flashes of aggression, especially towards strangers and other dogs. Chow Chows also needs a lot of your time,
and a lot of attention. This need for attention and aggressive tendencies
culminates in this breed's jealous streak. This is when the dogs most negative qualities
come out, feeling envious over their owners interactions with others apart from them. This can result in very negative interactions
with your Chow and any other dogs that may enter your life. Let us know if we got this list right or if
we forgot any other difficult breeds. And if you want us to make a part 2 to this
video be sure to give it a thumbs up and subscribe! See you next time.
