Beagles are very obstinate and easily distracted. Most people automatically take a liking to beagles, but only once they’ve been trained. Beagles are clever and require a lot more stimulation than most breeds.
Their independent nature also means that obedience doesn’t come easy to them but once they have been trained, they make for a loving member of the family.
Great Dane
The Great Dane is an extremely large dog. It holds world records for being the tallest dog. Like Saint Bernard, it is known as a gentle giant who drools a lot. It’s playful and attentive to children, loves people, and is not overly aggressive. They are known to be dependable and loyal. Great Danes make expert watchdogs.
However, this very large dog needs consistent training, which should start early. Even as a puppy, a Dane can knock over children and small tables. As a grown dog, its tail can clear a coffee table with a single stroke. These dogs grow to 175 pounds. They cannot be carried around the house or easily moved. Contrary to the name, Great Danes were bred in Germany in the 1300s as proficient hunters who were able to take down wild boars.
Basset Hound
Basset Hounds may be incredibly adorable, but they are also known to be notoriously stubborn, which makes training them quite a challenge. They may be very lovable, but their headstrong nature requires a lot of patience.
We have no doubt that adopting a Basset Hound to your home will make for a great addition, but just be prepared for their demanding character.
Bloodhounds
Bloodhounds are known for their big droop ears and long wrinkled faces, but they're also known for being headstrong, curious, and loving. You can train a bloodhound, but as a breed, they are not exactly a star in the obedience ring.
They are wonderfully independent but they are just not very motivated to perform tricks and maneuvers for their own sake, but they might be more obedient if there's a treat involved.
Fox Terriers
Fox Terriers are fearless and have a reasonable amount of energy. Essentially, they have two moods: either they can be very lazy and want to sleep, or they are energy bunnies and have a lot of energy to exert.
Training can be demanding with a fox terrier puppy, as they are known to have a peppery personality.
