I’m a dog trainer and there are three breeds I’d never own – they may be cute but they won’t listen to a word they say
CHOOSING a dog breed to fit into your lifestyle can be an extremely tricky decision to make.
But not for one Colorado-based professional dog trainer, who has revealed the three breeds she’d never personally want to have.
First on the list is the Husky – be it a Malamute, Husky, or mix.
“Anything related to those two dogs…absolutely not,” she says.
“The reason being is because they’re very primal and they’re very independent dogs.
“They also scream.”
Next up on the dog expert’s list of breeds she’ll be steering clear of are the livestock guardian breeds, which include the Anatolian Shepherd Dog, the Great Pyrenees, the Komondor and the Kuvasz.
“I love these dogs, I think they’re super cool, super amazing, great at what they’re bred to do but I personally would never have one,” she explains in a video shared to TikTok (@toppawk9s).

“They’re very independent dogs.
“If I had livestock, yes, otherwise, absolutely not…but I do think they’re really fricking cute!”
The professional dog trainer goes on to say that coming in hot at number three is the Shiba Inu.
“I never want a Shiba Inu – they’re very cute and they’re very pretty but they’re super stubborn and extremely independent,” she explains.
“You tell them to sit, stay, come, lay down…they’re going to tell you to f** right off!”
“You want to give them snuggles as a pet and they’re going to be like ‘OK, I’ll take some and then I’m out of here!'”
The video has since gone viral, racking up over 2.7 million views and several comments, with many pet owners quick to offer their opinions.
“I said to my Husky he would probably on this list and boom he was even the first one,” wrote one.
A second penned: “Loved my Great Pyrenees. But he’d run away for a few days then just show up when he was hungry.”
A third quipped: “Huskies don’t scream…they sass back.”
Meanwhile, a fourth noted: “Me with a Husky/Malamute and a Husky/German Shepherd – they’re a handful!”
Another added: “I have a Malamute and it’s almost like just have an 80lb cat – he had a rebellious past but he’s mellowed out a bit, he’s just a big lazy bear now.”
