A DOG handler has revealed the breed they fear working with due to their aggressive behavior.
They opened up about getting cuts and scratches after appointments with their bothersome pet.
Dog handlers spoke candidly about their experience with different breeds in response to a Reddit post.
The discussion started when a user said they love caring for cocker spaniels but hate Yorkies due to their fragility.
PETS
A fellow zookeeper writing under the name Loki-ra raged because West Highland Terriers are among the most violent dogs.
“I hate taking care of Westies,” they said.
“They are the most likely to give you a full bite just for existing!
“Always trying to kill the dryer, kill the vacuum cleaner, bite the water, bite the brush, bark at every other dog!
“And they are always scratching you with their strong little legs. I’ve had a lot of scratches from a Westie and they always hurt a lot.
“They just exude anger!”
The Redditor agreed with the person who started the thread that Yorkshire Terriers are equally frustrating to care for.
“I also agree with Yorkies (or any other small breed), they are always so dramatic and flailing around and I’m always worried they’ll break a leg or something!” they said.
“I love King Charles Spaniels, I’ve never met a bad one and they’re all sweethearts.”
Signs that your dog may become dangerous
Expert advice from Dr. Sara Ochoa, who has practiced veterinary medicine for over five years.
Ochoa told The US Sun that observing a dog’s behavior can provide clues that he may act out.
“A dog that appears completely tense, with its fur sticking up or its teeth showing, is more likely to snap,” she said.
“Looking closely without blinking can also mean problems.
“Growling is also a warning that the dog is getting angry.”
She said dogs may tuck their tails between their legs when they feel scared or threatened.
“Remaining calm and maintaining space can help things not escalate if a dog appears nervous,” she said.
DOG DISASTERS
Other responses to the post empathized with the perspective of West Highland Terriers.
“I love working with huskies, retrievers, and poms,” one person wrote.
“I hate working with cockers, Yorkies and Westies.
“Cockers take a long time to dry. People here always want their legs to be as short as scissors, but I can’t use combs because they look horrible on the lega cockers I have here.
“I don’t like Yorkies for the reasons you mentioned and Westies are the angriest and I don’t like their breed cut, especially because owners always want a round head when their dog has sad, limp hair that will never look good. in that way.”
“I love drop coats, it’s so easy, golden border collies, Japanese spitters! And I hate Westies, I find their coats so hard,” said another.
According to American Kennel ClubWest Highland White Terriers require a groomer visit every 4 to 6 weeks.
They can be “challenging” to train, despite being known for their intelligence and energy.
The breed is often affectionate and playful with strangers, but also has a protective nature.
