SOME dog breeds whether you like it or not have better reputations than others. And now two dog trainers have shared what they think of some of the most popular breeds in the UK. Fortunately, Iain and Jacob, two dog trainers from Yorkshire haven't held back on what they think of the dogs.

Speaking on the Caffeine and Canine podcast, Jacob said: "Today everyone, we're playing Doggy Bingo.". The game sees the pair get a breed called out and they have to say what they really think of each pooch. And one notorious dog breed that made it into the game was the Chow Chow.

The Chow Chow is a spitz-type of dog breed originally from Northern China. Speaking of the pooch, Jacob said this breed can be ropey and he would never give it too much trust. He added: "(They) can be ropey dogs, but people with Chow Chows on the internet really fly the flag for them.
"Like, 'Oh mine doesn't kill people,' well fine, but wouldn't trust them as far as I can throw them. Bronze tier.". Due to the fact they were bred as guard dogs, the Chow Chow can be aggressive with other dogs or strangers. The pair also discussed the UK's favourite breed - the Labrador.
Jacob said it was the 'Ford Focus' of dogs, with Iain agreeing they were a 'solid dog.'. Many people see the pooch as a reliable dog; they can be easy to train, great around children and other dogs, and love a snuggle. However, Jacob admitted that while most are the gold-tier of dogs, they can go down to a bronze.
