Most annoying dog breed to you?

As a semi-dog lover, I say semi because dogs are pets. They do t belong on the furniture, in my bed, in the kitchen or begging at the table. That said, my dogs are well taken care of and live with me in my house.

My girlfriend has two breeds I was never familiar with, the Golden Retriever and Chihuahua. Both are terrible to be around. The Golden is the most attention demanding creature I’ve ever seen. He is constantly in your face or under your feet. He will not allow you to even talk on the phone without his annoying attempts to have all of your attention. And the Chihuahua with his big personality is the absolute worse. A diaper has to remain on him at all times because his challenge to you is him looking you dead in the eye and cocking his leg on anything he chooses. He constantly is trying to bite you even though he is 16 and has no teeth but a couple. Sometimes it’s all I can do to refrain from showing him how much mightier my foot is than his entire scrawny body.

I absolutely love a golden retriever. I have a Labrador, my favorite, but a golden is certainly second. I am most assuredly a dog lover. Mine can get on my bed but not the furniture. He has his own bed in every room, plus the front porch. I love a dog in my face, and if he won’t let me talk on the phone, well I’ll call back

I don’t consider a Chihuahua a real dog

@Softandsweet2 Yeah. They can absolutely snap. Especially when they get old. Can't let that happen even if the damage is minimal. I always tried to remember that the world is a VERY big place and "fighting back" is sort of baked in to their cake. Gotta' get rid of that. I wouldn't get another one but understand why some have them.
@Ynotisay That’s very true about Chihuahuas, they have to be well-trained. I had one as a teenager, and once my father trained him, he was a great dog.

Because they are so smart, they tend to challenge any sibling pets and inexperienced owners. People often think that because they’re tiny they’re easily controlled, which is a mistake.They’re definitely not recommended as a first dog.

I love dogs. With no favourite amongst the breeds.

Although my uncles kelpie/dingo cross, gave a scare a time or too. I would read on my bed, here someone at the front door. Dad would call me in eventually to say hello, and somehow that dog had already snuck into my room and under my bed. I go to put my feet down to get up and he'd lick me. 😱
The thing about dogs is, they’re generally as socially adept as they’ve been trained to be. Any dog that is always up in your face or who isn’t properly housebroken has an owner to blame, because those behaviors can usually be corrected.

They’re not breed-specific.

I love dogs. None of them annoy me.

Any dog breed can be annoying if you aren't consistent with their training.

Don't care so much about the breed, any breed that is small and annoyingly yapping constantly is my least favorite.

Anything adult dog under 30 lbs. The smaller the more annoying. With exception to beagles.

I only find annoying those that are hostile, bark and charge at me, regardless of the breed.

Beagles, they never listen

@Cantsayno A beagle sees no reason to obey you, once you turn your back..😷
