A DOG trainer has revealed the breeds that brand-new owners should completely avoid.
Small dogs and those "bred to kill" made the lengthy list.
"This list could go on and on, so I'm going to break it down quite simply," the dog trainer (@southenddogtraining1) began in his TikTok video.
"You should avoid huskies [and] malamutes. You should avoid any sort of hunting breed. Any terrier that was bred to hunt and kill.
"You should avoid any bully breed. Any breed that was originally bred for blood sports. This does include French bulldogs."
He also listed small breeds – like chihuahuas – as those that should be avoided.
"Most small dogs, because you're going to pick them up, carry them and baby them, and then they're going to turn into a little Napoleon f**ckwit that is going to hate the world," he elaborated.
Garden breeds such as American Foxhounds, bulldogs, and beagles also made the list, as well as "any breeds from working lines."
"It's not that any of these breeds are bad. I'm a rottweiler man through and through," he explained.
"I absolutely love them. I've got a staffie and I've got a terrier. But if you don't know what you're doing and you screw these dogs up and as a first-time dog owner, you will make mistakes.

"The fall out is a lot worse than if you screw up a golden retriever."
Some people in the comments section of the clip joked about his long list.
"So what you're saying is get a cat," one person wrote.
"Is there any breed left? Foxes?" a second questioned.
"So…. No fun breeds. Just kidding, totally agree," a third person said.
Others shared their experiences with different dog breeds.
"Retired greyhounds, best dog [for] any first-time owner! Coming from a racing background the trainers are always happy to help out!" one said.
"My first ever dog was a malamute and I got her as a pup, they’re very difficult but sooo worth it if you know what you’re doing. Huskies on the other hand," a second added.
"My French bulldog is the first dog I’ve bought as an adult… he was honestly the easiest dog I’ve ever had.. he is hard-headed but learning manners," a final person said.
