A vet has shared the five dog breeds he is genuinely apprehensive about treating when they visit his practice. While it's important to remember that there are no bad breeds, only bad owners, some dogs are more prone to aggression than others.

Chow Chow

The Chinese Chow Chow is fifth on Dr. Anwary's list. This breed dates back to the Han Dynasty of 2000 years ago when they were used as guard dogs due to their muscular and powerful build, reports the Mirror.

They can grow up to 20 inches from floor to shoulder and have several unique traits, including a black tongue and a lion-like mane of hair. They are reportedly one of the easiest breeds to house-train.

Cocker Spaniel

Surprisingly, the Cocker Spaniel is fourth on Dr. Anwary's list of intimidating dogs. Known for its cheerful temperament and wagging tail, this breed is a popular choice for family pets.

However, studies have shown that aggression is relatively common in the breed, especially in golden-coloured dogs. This sudden aggression, known as Spaniel Rage or Cocker Rage, occurs without any apparent reason.

Rottweiler

Large working dogs, such as Rottweilers, are often unfairly judged due to their size and presence in roles like protection or with the police and armed forces. They're often chosen by those seeking an intimidating edge.

Rottweilers demand knowledgeable handlers aware of how much activity they need and methods to stimulate their active minds.

Chihuahua

Don't be fooled by the tiny stature of a Chihuahua; anyone who's come across one understands they can be formidable. These diminutive pooches bring a hefty dose of attitude, yet they've gained notoriety for behavioural issues, including persistent begging, toilet training troubles, separation distress, ceaseless barking, destructive chewing, and even instances of bites and nips.

However, their hilarious personalities, distinct appearances, and unwavering devotion to their owners makeup for their shortcomings.

Belgian Malinois

Topping Dr. Anwarys list is the Belgian Malinois, also known as the Belgian Shepherd Dog. Famed for their versatility in sheep herding or as guard dogs, they impress with quickness, keen intelligence, and exceptional protective instincts.

Dr. Anwarys assessment has received numerous nods from his audience, echoed by many voicing agreement with his picks. A comment from a Rottweiler owner confirmed: "As a rottie owner, I can confirm. The only person our sweet girl ever wants to bite is the vet."

Another individual echoed his sentiments, stating: "As a vet tech I've never met a chow chow that didn't try to eat us. At this point, we automatically do caution protocol for them."

Another user quipped: "I have a 13 year old chihuahua, 13 years of living in fear."
