DOG whisperer Cesar Millan has revealed the six breeds that are a big no-no for first-time owners.
The 54-year-old animal lover is known for his incredible ability to communicate with canines and is regularly asked for advice by pet parents.

In a recent interview on Fora and Sobre Podcast, the hosts asked Cesar which breeds he would advise beginners to avoid.
“The Belgian Malinois is not for beginners,” he said.
“It’s like buying a Lamborghini, you know?
“German Shepherds, Rottweiliers, Pointers, Vizlas, Weimaraners — they’re the working type, they’re the sporting type.
“And these are for people who had at least one or two dogs in their lives before they got into the major leagues.”
As for the breeds he would recommend, Cesar said the Lhasa Apso is a good dog for a beginner.
He also said it’s a good idea to try to find out where the dog was in the pack.
“I recommend the middle of the pack to anyone because these are the happy and lucky ones of the litter,” he explained.
“So in a litter of German Shepherds, only one will become a police officer
official, the rest is pet quality.
“The pick of the litter is just the biggest, the most dominant — he gets to his mother first — and then there’s the happy, go-lucky guys, and then the guys at the end of the pack are shy.”
Although Cesar helps people who own dogs, he is also a huge advocate for adoption.
“If you don’t want to be a full-time pet parent, you can always foster a pet,” he said.
“We can promote adoption correctly because these dogs will benefit from having the experience rather than just being at the shelter.
“At least that dog gets exposed and you get practice.
“Because a lot of times people are out of practice – they get the dog but they have no idea what to do
“So fostering allows you to learn – you learn, you make mistakes, you do everything and then you make a decision.”
