You may want to adopt a dog for various reasons and sometimes, unfortunately, it is a very ill-considered decision. It often happens that the owner is not ready for the breed. Many of them are very demanding, and an inexperienced person may simply not be able to deal with their representatives. For this reason, always learn about the breed before adopting or buying!
11 dog breeds that people most often adopt and then give back:
# 1 English Bulldog
The mere appearance of an English bulldog can scare off any potential criminal, but that's really all a dog can do. After decades of breeding, much of the initial aggression was gone. This dog is very dependent on people and its appearance at home is comparable to that of a child. Due to their physiological properties, bulldogs require a lot of care, starting with regular massage (because they cannot even scratch or lick each other), and ending with wiping skin folds on the face and tail. Owning an English bulldog is quite expensive. Many of them have health problems and also do not tolerate intensive training. They often require specialized meals and frequent medical examinations.
# 2 Akita inu
Many people recognize these smiling faces from the movie Hachiko. However, the Akita Inu race is not so innocent in everyday life. These dogs are quite unique in character: they are smart and love their owners immeasurably, but always make their owners feel that they don't really need them. Moreover, they do not trust strangers and do not like other people's children. Also, adult dogs of this breed often behave aggressively towards other animals, and especially towards other dogs that attack without warning despite the large difference in size.
# 3 Central Asian Shepherd Dog
These seemingly unshakable giants are often adopted to guard the house, but after moving from house to apartment, people often refuse to accept such a large animal into a new shelter. Moreover, it is very difficult for these sheepdogs to find a home in adulthood and adapt to a new life. This breed is very complicated. You must love these dogs and talk to them. However, the most important thing is to make sure your pet knows who is the leader in the house.
# 4 Husky
Husky puppies are adorable cubs with blue eyes and fluffy fur that simply will not leave anyone indifferent. But as they grow, they become extremely active, love to play, and begin to ruin everything in the home if they don't lead an active lifestyle. There are many complaints about a husky's overwhelming appetite and shedding tons of hair at home if not properly cared for. Even daily cleaning is useless, fur will still fly everywhere.
# 5 Dachshund
Dachshunds are one of the most recognizable and one of the most popular dog breeds due to its size. But few people know that by adopting a dog of this breed, he will get a real hunter. The bad nature of dachshunds is the result of insufficient physical stress, without which night hunters begin to “dig” linoleum and baseboards. That's when the owners who thought they were adopting a problem-free pooch are disappointed with their choice.
# 6 Rottweiler
A powerful guard dog can be both a watchdog and a loving family member. However, she needs a strong person nearby. Women and children sometimes struggle with Rottweilers. There are also complaints about their aggression and that they may be uncontrolled. Most often, all this happens due to a lack of proper training. Even so, when the Rottweiler looks scary, many owners are unable to cope with their emotions and start looking for a new home for their pet.
# 7 American Pit Bull Terrier
These dogs are considered fighting dogs. They were incredibly popular in the 90's. Now interest in them has faded a bit, but many people are still adopting them to raise their self-esteem and create an image of a serious dog owner in the eyes of those around them. Many Pitbulls have to look for new families because their owners simply don't have enough time to devote themselves to their pets. When this dog is not trained, the owners cannot handle it.
# 8 English Cocker Spaniel
Often times, owners simply cannot cope with the hunting instincts of spaniels who like to chase cats and birds if they live in a more private area. The health and appearance of each spaniel requires a lot of attention: its coat, eyes, ears (which are susceptible to various diseases) need proper care. For many people, these are unnecessary troubles. Since Spaniels are a hunting breed, they require a tremendous amount of effort when it comes to grooming and getting enough exercise. Physical activity is a must for this breed.
# 9 Labrador retriever
The Labrador Retriever suffers greatly from its incredible popularity as the perfect family companion and babysitter. This breed is often used in commercials that show a mother who is the “perfect housewife” with a happy baby and a Labrador retriever. People believe what these ads show and adopt this breed. However, later it turns out that the dog is not a toy – it gives off an intense smell, hurts easily, drools, and in general the pet gets into trouble, about which the advertisement is silent. It takes a lot of time to train him.
# 10 German Shepherd
Many German Shepherds serve their entire lives as members of the police, military or guarding businesses, and have to look for a new family when they retire. Besides, many people cannot train them properly or cannot cope with the dog's instincts.
# 11 Jack Russell terrier
It looks like a small “compact” dog that should be suitable for keeping in an apartment. But, despite its external beauty, Jack Russell terriers are quite complex in nature. This breed was developed as a hunting breed. All Jack Russell terriers like rules and rituals and are ready to follow them if the owner doesn't contradict himself, such as letting the dog sleep on the couch today and banning it tomorrow. If it is prohibited, it should always be prohibited. The dog is very active and does not calm down with age. Males will always question their owner's leadership of the herd.
