I’m a dog expert & there’s 3 breeds I’d never recommend – including the pooch that can be an aggressive ‘powerhouse’
IF you're looking to welcome your first dog into your home but aren't sure what breed is best for your lifestyle, then you may just want to take note.
That's because a dog expert has revealed the three breeds he'd never recommend for first time or novice dog owners.
In the clip shared to TikTok (@cherryhoggs), he begins by discussing the Pit Bull or Bulldog breeds.
The dog whizz goes on to explain that they have a certain type of stigma attached to them because they're "high prey drive dogs,
high energetic dogs."
He continues: "So if you are not mentally and physically stimulating that aspect of that working line breed that they need, they're going to start attacking things.
"They're going to start to fulfil in other aspects."

He warns: "They're very aggressive if you do not mentally and physically stimulate them.
"We absolutely adore the Bullies and the Pitties - most of the dogs that come here are all Bully and Pitties, however they're really difficult if you're not going to be authoritative, disciplined and consistent."
He then moves onto another favourite breed of his - Rottweilers.
"Again, absolutely adore them - they're extremely loyal, extremely cuddly, just phenomenal companion dogs," he explains.
"However, they're powerhouses, guard dogs and can be extremely aggressive and be very possessive if you're not going to be mentally and physically stimulating the dog and actually providing the right articulation."
And last but not least, the dog pro explains they he wouldn't touch a herd breed, such as a German Shepherd.
"Not because they're not nice dogs, but they're a herd breed, so
they're above a working line dog.
"They are supposed to be working.
"You can never exercise them enough and a lot of dogs that come through this house are herd breeds because we're not providing the job that they require.
"As a result, they self stimulate and start to herd and bite the neighbours and random people and start becoming possessive because they have not got a job."
