Have you ever wondered which dog breeds are the naughtiest? Well, a new study has identified the naughtiest mongrel dogs that wreak havoc in the home, and the fluffy white Japanese Spitz tops the list .
The team at Protect My Paws analyzed 87,886 Instagram posts and calculated the percentage of #gooddog and #baddog hashtags for each breed. All puppies can be cheeky at times, but their research found that certain dog breeds are more likely to be naughty than others, such as Shichons, Cockapoos, and Welsh Terriers.
“If being affectionate was a crime, the snowman known as Spitz would go straight to the doghouse,” say the team at Protect My Paws. “When you combine a lack of respect for one’s personal space with a mischievous sense of humor, you can expect to be climbed on, disturbed, run over, and maliciously hugged.”
