5 Dog Breeds which are not for first time owners

All it needs is a hunt.

#1 Akita
 This breed is meant to be a big game hunter like bear or boar. It can weigh more than 52 kilograms and needs 20-30 minutes’ walk every day.
 Also, the leash remains tight all the time since it has a strong inclination to hunt. It’s a beautiful dog, but sheds heavily. It is a challenge to train an Akita. It’s best kept for experienced dog owners.

Cute, Stubborn and Intelligent


#2 Chow Chow
No, it is not a teddy bear as it looks like. Extremely cute, it is also very stubborn and intelligent. Will require a lot of training to get what you are looking for. It is very wary of strangers and will be very aggressive towards other dogs.

Skin folds are cute but are the root of all problems


#3 Chinese Shar-Pei
It needs a very assertive and experienced owner to train a Chinese Shar-Pei. It is highly territorial by nature and bonds very closely to one person. It is very distrustful of both humans and canines who are strangers. All the skin folds though increase the chronic skin infections and eye conditions which a new owner will find daunting.

Prone to heat attacks


#4: Alaskan Malamute
It sheds like crazy and is known to put all the weight of itself on the leash while walking. It’s a very exuberant, joyful and friendly dog, which seems perfect for first time owners but they should also know that they are talented escape artists. They are known to wander off far away once they pull it off. An Alaskan Malamute needs a lot of exercise to remain fit and active. Also prone to heat attacks due to its thick fur.

Either you're the boss or this is the boss


#5: Rottweiler
A gentle giant, it likes an owner who acts like he is the boss, or else the Rottweiler will. A wrong Rottweiler with a wrong owner is a recipe for disaster. It is powerful, protective, extremely loyal and doesn't mind changing that threatening growl into an attack backed up by its 62 kilograms of mostly pure muscle.

  1. We had a Siberian Husky, Betsy over here and that sure is a tough nut to crack. Very independent. Freaked out my first cousin who was keeping a dog for the first time.
    She was a faithful dog though. Miss her still. Very charming. Had a language of her own. Brilliant eyes.
