If you’re thinking about getting a dog, you may want to listen to this dog trainer’s advice. He reveals the five breeds he’d never recommend to first-time owners, and it’s not good news if you’ve got your heart set on a Border Collie.
The first breed on his list is the Hungarian Vizsler, which he describes as “a little bit like a Labrador on meth.” He says they’re needy, clingy, and vocal if they don’t get enough exercise.
Next up is the German Shepherd, which he warns isn’t bred like it was a few decades ago. He says they’re more defensive and can become a “bag of nerves” if not socialized properly.
Last but not least, he recommends avoiding Border Collies for first-time owners. He says they’re like “crackheads” when they don’t get enough work and that he’d rather recommend a pet giraffe than this breed of dog.
The post has since gone viral, with many people agreeing and disagreeing with the trainer’s advice. Some people have said they have these breeds and have had no problems, while others have said they agree with the trainer’s assessment.
Ultimately, the decision of what breed of dog to get is a personal one. However, it’s important to do your research and make sure you’re prepared to provide the dog with the care and attention it needs.
