Rottweilers

Rottweilers are also police dogs and serve in the military because they are considered guard dogs. However, this beautiful dog breed has a strong and loving personality, being friendly and very affectionate with their families. 

According to animal experts, people who want to adopt a Rottweiler as a pet will have a faithful and loving friend for life. The Rottweiler is one of the most intelligent dog breeds that need a lot of exercises as well. 

“With the right environment, they can be great dogs for a wide variety of people and situations,” Boyko said.  

Moreover, this dog breed requires early socialization and training. Unfortunately, people who fear this dog breed tend to have a discriminatory behavior based on many prejudices and stereotypes. However, just like any other dog, Rottweilers are not dangerous at all if they are well trained. 

Beagles

Beagles are active and intelligent animals that can get along with other pets and people of all ages as well. Being stubborn sometimes, they require special training methods and patience. This dog breed is also known for being super curious, so they are very euphoric when they find an interesting scent. 

“They use it when hunting, that’s what it was selected for. It’s fun if you’re hunting with a dog, but it can get you in some trouble if you’re living in the city,” said Boyko. “It depends very much on the dog. Different dogs will talk more than others and it’s certainly something that can be trained, but it’s something to keep in mind.”

They get bored if left alone, so they will dig in your garden to escape. In fact, you shouldn’t leave your dog alone for too long, especially in your yard, because there are thieves who steal Beagles to sell them for experiments. 

Beagles are generally healthy, but they are prone to certain diseases, such as intervertebral disk disease, hip dysplasia, cherry eye, glaucoma and so on. 

“Most beagles have a risk for IVD [intervertebral disk disease]. The same genetic mutation that causes them to have shorter legs also leads to an increased risk for slipped discs,” Boyko said. “You have to watch how they’re jumping around,” he added. “Don’t let your dog jump from high places. Things like a ramp for your bed can also be very helpful.”
