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.

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...

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.

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.

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

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      The concern of this article is not getting "hacked". No one is taking over my Google account and anyone that was is far away from self-hosting their passwords. It was about your big tech account of choice deciding to reduce features or getting out of the password manager business altogether. Bitwarden (or say Proton) is professional security company offering opensource solutions. They are going no where and one can easily download or export their passwords to another password manager service regardless. They again also offer self-hosted option. I doubt many people were sold on this solution based on the write up. The author had a number of warnings and caveats themselves. A local, self-managed solution is not for 99% of users.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By WaltC · Posted

      I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.
