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

    • The laptop in the bedroom is an Acer with i7-10510U CPU. Acer's website states they will not be upgrading it so I had little choice other than disable secure boot. I know next to nothing on these matters so hopefully it will be fine.
    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.

    • Google reportedly set to lose two key Gemini and DeepMind researchers to Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly preparing to lose two more prominent artificial intelligence researchers, with Gemini contributors Jonas Adler and Alexander Pritzel planning to join rival AI developer Anthropic. According to a report from Bloomberg, both researchers are viewed internally as important contributors to Google’s flagship Gemini model family. Adler worked on Google’s AI coding efforts, while Pritzel was involved in the process used to train AI systems. Neither company has publicly confirmed the moves. The report also does not say when the researchers will formally leave Google or what positions they will hold at Anthropic. Training a large AI model requires decisions covering its architecture, data preparation, distributed computing infrastructure, and post-training methods that shape how the finished system behaves. Researchers with experience operating at the scale of Gemini are consequently difficult to replace quickly. Both Adler and Pritzel have previously contributed to Google DeepMind’s scientific research as well. They are listed among the authors of the company’s work on expanding AlphaFold protein-structure predictions across entire proteomes, alongside AlphaFold researchers including John Jumper. The reported departures arrive shortly after another important change within Google’s Gemini organization. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving Google for OpenAI, after returning to the search company in 2024 through its deal with Character.AI. Shazeer is particularly well known as one of the authors of the Transformer paper, whose architecture became the foundation for most modern large language models. Anthropic, meanwhile, has been recruiting recognizable figures from other leading laboratories. OpenAI co-founder and former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy joined Anthropic’s pre-training team in May. His move, followed by the reported recruitment of several Google researchers, suggests Anthropic is strengthening the research teams responsible for the core capabilities of future Claude models rather than concentrating solely on product and enterprise sales. The competition is complicated by the companies’ extensive commercial relationships. Anthropic competes directly with Google’s Gemini models, but it also relies on Google as an infrastructure partner. In April, Anthropic announced an expanded agreement with Google and Broadcom covering multiple gigawatts of next-generation Tensor Processing Unit capacity. TPUs are Google-designed accelerators used to train and run large AI models. via Bloomberg
