10 dog breeds that should not be left home alone

Choosing a dog is a responsible decision that requires careful consideration of all aspects. In addition to breed, size, and temperament, it's important to consider how the dog will tolerate loneliness.

Some dog breeds are simply designed to be with their owners 24/7. It is difficult and harmful for them to be left alone for a long time, as this can lead to destructive behavior, anxiety, apathy, and other problems.

Here are 10 dog breeds that can't stand being alone:

1. Bichon Frise: These fluffy dogs were bred as companions, so they are very much in need of attention and affection. If you leave your Bichon Frise alone for a long time, you risk barking, howling, destroying things, and other manifestations of separation anxiety.

2. Affenpinscher: These small but lively dogs adore their owners and miss them very much when they leave home. If you leave your Affenpinscher alone, you may find a mess, chewed things, and other signs of boredom when you return.

3. Border collie: These are not just smart dogs, but also incredibly active dogs that constantly need physical and mental stimulation. Leaving a Border Collie alone can lead to destructive behavior, as they simply have nothing to do.

4. Italian Greyhound: These miniature dogs don't need much exercise, but they do need attention and companionship. Leaving the Italian Greyhound alone for a long time can provoke irritability, barking, aggression, and other behavioral problems.

5. Yorkshire Terrier: These little energizers can't sit still and need constant play and exercise. If you leave the Yorkie alone, it may start digging holes, barking, damaging things, or just being sad.

6. French Bulldog: These sweet and affectionate dogs are very attached to their owners and do not tolerate loneliness. Leaving a French Bulldog alone for a long time can provoke apathy, destructive behavior, appetite problems, and other psychological problems.

7. Dachshund: These short-legged dogs with personalities often do not meet the expectations of their owners. Instead of lying quietly on the couch, dachshunds left alone can chew on furniture, and carpets, damage walls, and other things.

8. Chinese crested: These hairless dogs are sensitive not only to cold but also to loneliness. If you leave your Chinese Crested alone for a long time, you risk encountering anxiety, apathy, destructive behavior, and other problems.

9. Fox Terrier: These active and intelligent dogs need constant intellectual stimulation. If you don't do this, the Fox Terrier may find something to do on its own, such as chewing on furniture, tearing things up, or digging holes.

10. Poodle: These elegant dogs of all sizes – toy, miniature, and standard – miss their owners very much when they leave home. When you leave a poodle alone, you can hear barking, howling, whining, and other manifestations of his longing.
