I am a veterinarian, and while I agree with most of the recommendations, the German Shepherd Dog should be on the list of top 10 hardest breeds to own. I have owned 2, and have had many in my practice, I and know. They require LOTS of exercise, and are usually smarter than their owners, so they can become behavior problems really fast. They need lots of stimulation, and without a confident owner, and a firm hand, they can become neurotic and/or aggressive. The dog in the video is completely out of control. They can also be bred indiscriminately and can have lots of medical problems. Many breeders will tell you their line does not have hip dysplasia and by the time it becomes apparent it is too late. Please think long and hard before you get one.

I am a veterinary technician and I will say the german shepherd is not an easy dog to own at all. Most people do not understand they are a working dog breed. They require extensive training, tasks, and excercise far beyond what other dog breeds need. They can be amazing dogs, but it can very quickly go south if the owner is not prepared to take on this breed or is ignorant to their requirements. No hate on my end, I just wanted to put this out there as an informational message for the viewers :)

I have a Havanese named Lola. She is just the friendliest most happy dog. I got her as a puppy in 2010 and she is still going healthy and strong. She adjusts to my personality taking naps when I do and curling up next to me to watch a movie. She’s my best friend❤️

[kirstenkosinski]

There is nothing easy about owning a German Shepherd. They are wonderful dogs. I used to breed working line GSDs and they were a handful. I selected puppy buyers and send many home WITHOUT one of my dogs.

Another great dog is a cavalier King Charles spaniel. They do have a long coat (if you let it grow like that) that will need to be brushed, but they are so friendly and great with little kids and the whole family. They have a heart of gold honestly. I have never met an unfriendly cavalier. And I have met a lot 😅

Saying Shi-tzus will do anything to please their owners had me laughing! Shi-tzu's are master human trainers who will have their humans waiting on them paw and tail. And they'll do it all with a cheerful, layed back demeanor.

I have had many dogs in my lifetime…dachshund, Labrador, cocker spaniel, silky terrier, Coton de Tulear; but I must say the easiest breed I’ve owned is my Maltese! She is sweet, smart, easy to train, loving, gentle, rarely barks, is content to have a lazy day but also enjoys playtime!

[carlosnavarrete]

Ignore this video. It contributes to having more German Shepherds in Rescue shelters.

[TheConservativesrock]

Had a Shih Tzu for 14 years. Overall healthy until later when it had eye issues. Very loyal and excellent personality

[daviddavid]

My two dachshunds were the friendliest and healthiest and most loving of pets during their long lives. 18 years and 18 years 6 months. I can't imagine any better pets.

From my 16-17 year experience with a Shih Tzu, it was great. Although I don’t think I got a full breed Shih Tzu, it was still pleasant. Everything about her screamed Shih Tzu but her face is what made everyone question because she didn’t have a Shih Tzu face. Her eyes were much bigger and full of life and her face wasn’t pushed in like a Shih Tzu. Always had a smile especially around food and being outside. Doesn’t matter I got what I got and when she finally passed it was sad but my memories are with me. She had some traits of a cat. She liked to rest on top of the couch wherever there was sun light by the window. She liked to play but she was not a ball fetcher or chaser. She definitely had her lazy moments. She was a bed hog and pillow hog. She also snored. She was good with kids especially babies but never really made an effort to acknowledge them as she was very much her own dog. Always did her own thing. Fast learner and never had to train her. Never had to put a single leash on her so I never owned one. She just knew her boundaries if she was outside and the garage door was open or if any door was open. She did have a temper every green Sun (what lol!). Mostly if it was time to go to the vet or get her groomed. She was usually upset at whoever took her and she wasn’t afraid to show her temper. Belly rubs were her favorite. She did have a problem with humping stuffed animals. Specifically stuffed animals. You couldn’t leave one around her or she will take it for her personal reasons. Male dogs tend to hump legs but if you were laying down she’d go for your forearm. Never barked. She had a great sense for who was good and who was bad. A bit clumsy though. She was easy to hype up though, once hyped up she like to run around the whole house or backyard and do a few laps.

My parents have a Chihuahua. Chihuahua’s typically never make it on many lists. They from my experience usually get a bad rep. My parents found one in our backyard in the rain taking shelter under one of our chairs. His leash was wrapped around him tight enough we had to cut it off to get it off. Chihuahua’s are small dogs and it looked like he hasn’t eaten in a long time as he was mostly all bones. Took awhile to get his weight up and for him to finally relax and feel comfortable again. He has a thing with tool boxes though and hugs. He won’t go near them as he shakes so we assume he had trauma with them some way or another. You can’t hug or he will bite. He ran away on us four times. Once at night and his coat is a deep black. So it was hard to find him. The other three times we just got lucky because he’d dig a hole to get out the backyard. We found the owners and made a deal to not report them for animal abuse if they let us have him. I actually knew the owner. He was a good kid who went through a lot and ended up down the wrong path. Last I saw him, he was homeless. Chihuahua’s can be a barking or crying dog. Ours though after a few years of having him we finally got to see his personality. Doesn’t bark but hates cats. He got along with my dog really well. He was a bit sad when my dog finally passed away. Wherever my dog went he followed. My dog (Dolly) had white fur with black spots and Hobo (my parents Chihuahua) was black with a couple white spots. We think he’s mixed but never found out with what as his coat is unlike any Chihuahua we’ve seen or looked up. His tail is straight fur but really fluffy. Most of his body fur is straight with a subtle wave in it. He has a bit of a lions mane, but it’s extremely curly and it’s texture is really soft and silky unlike the rest of his fur. Overall his coat is really thick. Only his mane, ears, and the back of his front legs have curly soft silky hair. He acts nothing like most Chihuahua’s. He doesn’t really like to play at all. He doesn’t come to you if you call him unless it was one of my parents or someone who’s part of the family otherwise he completely ignores you, he actually won’t even look at you and he will turn his back. He’s really lazy though. He never rolls over when you pet him. Out of the 10+ years of living with him he’s never once rolled over for a belly rub. He’s extremely alert though but only if the sound is unfamiliar. Doesn’t like lightning. Always had a calm vibe and face. Hates being alone and the only time he shows any form of excitement is when my parents come home. The only other time Hobo would play or show excitement is when Dolly was still alive and was running around doing her laps in Dolly 500. They both farted a lot. Sometimes I’d catch them wake themselves up from farting.

Now that I have a family of my own, it’s time for a new dog. A part of me wants a dog that reminds me of Dolly but the other part of me is not sure I can handle it even though the dog will be my children’s dog. I was holding Dolly when she died. Holding her and the physical touch of feeling life leave her body as it goes limp is something I won’t forget. Regardless a new dog is something I want to give my kids. I don’t think I can help not see Dolly in whatever dog we end up with. I have too many memories with her.

Whippets should be number one on the list in my opinion. They're sweet and affectionate. They are clean. They don't have a barking problem. Though they love to run, they don't require it daily, they're actually couch potatoes. Mine were always very well adjusted socially, calm around children, though I had none of my own, never aggressive toward other dogs. If they do get wet or muddy, they can be wiped down and dry instantly. And simply beautiful!!!

[MikoDarkblade]

I was expecting the Poodle to be in here... As a first time dog owner I must say it's much easier and rewarding then I expected. I regret waiting so long!

[joellevinson]

Greyhound, especially a rescue from a track, should have been on the list! Loving coach potatoes who don't require much exercise!

[katechiconi]

Hands down, a greyhound. They are calm, affectionate, entertaining, friendly and pretty darn lazy considering what their professional career usually is, so they don't need loads of exercise (20-30 mins a day). They're suitable for families, retired or single people. They don't require lots of grooming or bathing (if any!), they don't smell, they don't drool heaps, they aren't prone to health issues or diseases and despite looking fine and delicate are actually very strong. Most of them don't have attachment, resource guarding or destructive issues. Some will have a high prey drive which means other smell pets are contra-indicated. They're useless as guard dogs, though... the only way they'll stop a burglar is if he trips over them. If you adopt from an official agency, they're all pure-bred so the characteristics tend to be reliable, and after their racing careers, they desperately need a loving home. Please consider one if you're looking for a wonderful companion.

I rescued my Cleo the Basset Hound nearly two years ago. Cleo is an absolute joy. Loyal, affectionate, friendly with other dogs, children, and everybody.
Basset Hounds need regular exercise and bathing, and I always have to keep an eye on her ears. Her ears are prone to odor and possible ear infections.

[JBLynch]

Had a Basset Hound mix. Most stubborn dog I've ever had to train, but once he got it, he was a joy. He lived an amazing 18 years.

[lpmama]

The Whippet is an easy dog with minimal grooming needs and a sweet temperament. I loved my Shih Tzu but he needed intense grooming which added up. A German Shepherd is a high-energy dog that requires lots of training & exercise plus they shed a ton.

[pheynx]

My wife and I had a beagle basset mix for 13 year. He was absolutely the best dog we have ever owned. We had to say goodbye to him a couple of weeks ago. As for temperament and ease of training, I couldn't imagine a better dog. When it comes to health I don't think I would get a mix of those two breeds again because of how long they can get and the back problems they can have.

[JennD]

German Shepard an easy dog really? With their high engery and intelligence they need an experienced dog owner who knows how to handle them
