Chow Chow

This is another dog breed which looks just adorable, with their teddy bear faces and fluffy fur, making them easily mistaken for toys and playthings by children. Chow Chows may be cute and cuddly but there may be other breeds better suited to you if you have kids at home. They require strong leadership, and they can be extremely jealous of others approaching their human ‘parent’.

Afghan Hound

The Afghan Hound is thought to be one of the oldest breeds of dogs, originally bred in the cold mountains of Afghanistan for hunting and guarding, they are inherently strong-willed meaning they require strong leadership at all times, they are also thought to be a breed which it takes longer to train as they don’t learn new commands quickly. Other than their huge size, they have a high prey drive, meaning they may not get along with smaller animals, which can also mean small children. This breed requires strong leadership, and calm, collected, kind, interaction, so unless you have the time and patience, and not too many little ones running about, you may want to consider another breed.
