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

Affenpinscher

Affenpinschers are known for being energetic, playful, and a little mischievous. Their small size means they can easily be mistaken for toys by young children, leading to rough handling and a disregard for the fact that they are sentient animals.

This can cause the dog to feel incredibly stressed, and once anxious or overloaded, they may react aggressively—which is a bad match for the unpredictable behavior of children.
