A canine behavior expert recently shared his top three dog breed picks, highlighting their unique strengths and traits. Will Atherton, a British expert, detailed his choices in a popular online video.
His first pick, the Cane Corso, is a powerful mastiff breed known for its history in property protection and hunting. While imposing in appearance, the Cane Corso is known to be gentle with family.
Atherton notes the breed’s relative health and athleticism as advantages. However, he emphasizes the importance of thorough research, training, and early socialization for potential Cane Corso owners.
Atherton’s second choice, the German Shepherd, is praised for its intelligence, strength, and versatility. Known for excelling in various roles from police work to service and therapy, German Shepherds are highly trainable. Atherton cautions, however, that their tendency to bark excessively may be a consideration for potential owners.
Finally, Atherton declares the Labrador Retriever his ultimate favorite. Originally bred in Newfoundland, Canada, to assist fishermen, Labradors are celebrated for their intelligence, loyalty, and eagerness to please. These qualities make them excellent companions and service dogs.
