PICKING the right dog breed to join your family can be tricky.
But one dog expert from the US has revealed the three extra large dog breeds that are perfect for families.
Taking to TikTok, the dog trainer who goes by Americanstandardk9 revealed his top picks and one of them is a total cuddle monster.
He said: “Top three extra large dog breeds we recommend as professional dog trainers.”
First up was the Saint Bernard, a giant dog breed from Switzerland.
The dog expert revealed: “These are big, cuddly monsters.”
He added that the friendly giants were pretty lazy which makes them perfect family pets, however, it can make them difficult to train.
Next, was the English Mastiff, one of the dog expert’s favourite breeds to train.
He explained they can be slow to train but once they get it, they will remember it forever.
“They can be amazing family dogs and also wonderful protectors of the homestead,” he added.
Finally, the dog trainer suggested a Newfoundland if you’re after a big dog who wants lots of love.
The dog expert said: The Newfoundlands get huge, big ol’ fluffy monsters as well.”
He added that you won’t be able to walk the fluffy monster without everyone stopping you to ask if they can pet them.
The video soon went viral with over 870k views and 90k likes.
People quickly took to the comments section to share their thoughts, and many agreed these friendly giants make the perfect pets.
One wrote: “my buddy has a Newfoundland. huge pretty dog, just a big lover though.”
Another person commented: “Our English Mastiff is the best dog we’ve ever had.”
“I have a saint! He is the best family dog! But, yes, so so very lazy!!! Hard to train sometimes because he’s not as motivated by food either lol,” penned a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “I currently have 2 saints, and from here on out, it’s the only kind of dog I want.”
“I am so glad someone is FINALLY giving the Saint the recognition it deserves,” claimed a fifth.
