Rhodesian Ridgeback

A reverse-growing hair streak down its back distinguishes the Rhodesian Ridgeback. It is affectionate, intelligent, and child-friendly. However, this dog is unsuitable for some people as a lot more time and effort are required to take care of this breed. In Rhodesia during the 1870s, this brave dog earned a reputation as a reliable lion protector. However, without proper handling, this intelligent dog will become stubborn and strong-willed.

This breed can become pretty destructive if it does not receive enough exercise and does not regard any human as its superior. It will most likely become combative with other dogs but, if properly raised, may be calm and gentle.

Pekingese/Pekinese

This breed is legendary for its tenacity. The ancient Imperial family of China bred Pekingese to be lapdogs. Some Pekingese served as royal guard dogs as well. These dogs uphold their royal heritage with an arrogant attitude and an assertive demeanor that commands respect. It isn’t easy to train them because they believe they should be in charge and approaches any task with obstinacy.

If this dog is disciplined, it may bite. Strangers are often regarded as intruders by this breed. If they believe a stranger is a threat, they will fight them. As a result, they are known to be excellent watchdogs.

Afghan Hound

Instead of seeking attention, the Afghan Hound commands it. You might be surprised to discover a stalwart hunter beneath the glamorous, long, and shiny coat. The Afghan Hound is a historic breed that originated with the Egyptians and was later found in the mountains of the Middle East, where it was bred to leap after gazelle and smaller game, like hares.

It takes a lot of outdoor activity to develop a strong instinct and the ability to run nimbly through mountain terrain. Adopting an Afghan Hound entails a commitment to daily exercise and coat care. This dog is a peaceful, quiet canine companion.

Siberian Husky

The Siberian Husky originated in Siberia, as the name suggests, where the Chukchi people bred it to pull sleds about 500,000 years ago. This high-energy dog is neither a lap dog nor a good backyard dog. Being intelligent, they have a penchant for mischief and are notorious for being extremely destructive when left alone or bored.

According to PetVet, the Siberian Husky is one of the worst breeds for first-time pet owners because the phrase ‘obedient Siberian Husky’ is something of an oxymoron. Just Because they have a strong predatory drive, other pets such as cats or hamsters may become prey.

Fila Brasileiro

Another dog on the Dangerous Dogs Act list that is illegal in countries like the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, and Denmark is the Fila Brasileiro. It is not suggested for new dog owners. They drool and shed profusely and are easily agitated by visitors or strangers.

They were bred as hunting dogs and will fiercely protect your family at all costs. If you’re still interested in this powerful Mastiff, he’ll need an alpha owner. This dog, with the enormous size and strength of the Fila, who thinks he is superior to humans, is extremely dangerous, claims Dog Breed Info.
