Check out our new photo gallery which salutes the worst dogs ever created ? like the Chihuahua, Bulldog, and a host of other inbred pooches that top the list of purebred abominations. Do you own one of these freakish creatures?

Basset Hound

Prone to more genetic diseases than you can shake a stick at, Basset Hounds excel at barking, howling and shedding.

Chihuahuas

The smallest breed of dog is also the #1 baby replacement pet. They're annoying, yappy and known to be fiercely loyal to one owner and then go Satanic on anyone else.

Bulldog

Bulldogs were bred to have amazingly powerful jaws for bull and bear-baiting. They suffer hip dysplasia more than any other breed, have relatively short lives.

Chow Chows

Granted these dogs are adorable but under that puff of fur lies a blue-lipped monster that often only likes one owner. Considered "high-risk dogs" by some insurance companies, owning this cute fluffy thing might raise your homeowners premium through the roof.

Pit Bulls

The only thing scarier than a Pit Bull are the passionate owners who will go insane if you suggest these dogs are sometimes a wee bit too aggressive to share the planet with us.

Dalmations

There are probably 101 reasons not to own a Dalmation. Only about 70% have normal hearing and they have a genetic predisposition to suffer from kidney stones and gout.

Chinese Crested Hairless

They suffer from a pu pu platter of genetic diseases and require a sweater anywhere north of Miami Beach.

St. Bernard

We pray that you love tumbleweeds of fur and sloppy drool 24/7, because if you don't, owning this dog will be a living hell.

Teacup Yorkshire Terriers

Yorkshire Terriers are small but any "teacup" variety is when the dog tops out at two to four pounds. They have tons of health issues and very fragile bones that can be broken just getting off a couch.

Corgis

Freaky inbred things that are fun to look at, Corgi's have tons in common with the British Royal family that has helped popularize them. As they are basically Hobbits in dog form, we love 'em, but that doesn't mean they aren't dumb.

Jack Russell

Jack Russell is a very smart energetic breed. They are far too intelligent for 99.9% of dog owners. And when a Jack Russell is bored, they go ballistic. You've been warned.

Dachshund

Originally bred to find and annoy the crap out of badgers, prairie dogs and rabbits the dachshund now serves only to amuse their owners.

Afghan Hounds

Originally used to hunt hares and gazelles in the mountains of Afghanistan, this dog is known as being slow to train and now only serves to make us point and laugh.

Cockapoo

Owning this dog will force you to say the words "****" and "poo" far too often.

We used to own two Basset Hounds back home.

They never barked that much, only when somebody was at the door.

No we own a street dog and a Fila Brasileiro.

I love dogs :)

What about aggressive german shepards ? Annoying yapping poodles ?

This just about eliminate half the dog species.

Eventually, all dogs are going to cost you in vet bills.

What you like and want is an individual choice.

Lol, guns now dogs lol, nothing is off limits it seems.. You can turn any dog into a nasty, mean, biting dog by mistreating them. I'll be damned if someone tries to take my pitbull away...

Sure any dog can be trained to be good or nice. But also ANY dog can at any time snap for no apparent reason, and some dogs are more dangerous than others if that happens.

Also some dogs are more prone to snapping and violent behaviour. If you don't think behaviour is part of a breed, then you don't know much about dogs.

My wife bought a "teacup yorkie", that sucker is up to almost 18 pounds now. We feed him on a schedule and he has lost some weight, but he is no where near 2-4 lbs.

I agree that Jack Russell Terriers are a handful but they are also a lot of fun and very loyal dogs. Mine has been with me for almost 6 years now and I wouldn't dream of changing him for any other breed.

Most, if not all dogs' behaviour is subject to how you train them. I have a sweet pitbull that gets along with anybody that does not act threatening. Loves kids, too.

I also have a Chihuahua that would yap a lot, but funnier than that, she would try to stop yapping when we told her to shut up, and end up barking with her mouth closed. So It's probably something that is really just genetic, but cute as hell when it wasn't annoying. However, she would yap, but never act aggressive to other people. Usually after she sniffed them, she would roll over on her back in an attempt to receive a belly rub.

Same, people think pitbulls are vicious killing machines, but my pitty is as sweet as can be. He got loose a few times and never once went after the kids outside or any of the other dogs that were outside at the time. Its all on how you treat them. However I will say this some dogs no matter the breed can be mean and vicious. I've had a dog that no matter how I treated it it was mean and would snap at people.

It's you that knows nothing of dog breeds, the breeds most likely to go "ballistic" are the ones that never make any list of "bad" dogs, for every Pit Bull bit you hear about the press ignores dozens of dig bites from the most beloved breeds, most "bad" breeds get their reputations from dog fighting rings, and you can usually find just about any breed there.

I've got a Long Hair Chihuahua and his the best little dog I've had. His smart, loves to play and has been a breeze to train. He doesn't bite and is too lazy to yap at anything. I still can't believe the little bugger was dumped by his first owners, his a top little dog.

My Favourite breed would have to be Australian Black and white Border Collie. We had one for 16 years and she was the best larger dog I've ever had and still miss her to this day.

How ever the worse dog on my list are those little Maltese terriers they're awful little dogs.

that's true... there's lots of dog bites from almost every type of dog, pitbulls just kill the most people
