Dog breeds that are off-putting and not suitable for keeping at home

Boerboel

The Boerboel, originating from South Africa, is a robust dog breed developed to guard homes and defend against wild animals. They are intelligent, loyal, and extremely protective of their families, even willing to sacrifice themselves to protect their owners.

However, this loyalty comes with great responsibility. If you’re not prepared to handle a strong-willed, highly dominant dog that requires consistent training, you might be better off choosing a more gentle breed.
