When it comes to dogs, the impression that flashes through many people’s minds is that they are smart, loyal, and affectionate. Today, we are going to talk about 5 dog breeds that are often mocked by netizens as “ingrates” in the dog world. Due to their personality traits, they are prone to “being close to others”, making many people sigh that “it’s hard to win their loyalty”. It should be specially noted: the term “ingrates” in this article is only a joke by netizens, and does not negate the dog breeds themselves. At the same time, for medium and large-sized powerful dog breeds, high-intensity traction control equipment is an essential guarantee for outdoor safety. The following will elaborate on rumor refutation and statistics, causes of aggression, and the importance of traction tools one by one.
01 English Bulldog
The English Bulldog is simple and honest, friendly to people, and is a very good companion dog for children. But owners who have raised English Bulldogs know that dogs of this breed generally have low IQ, cannot understand the concept of a master, and coupled with their gluttonous personality, they are basically happy with everyone, and are very affectionate to anyone who has food in their hands!
Rumor Refutation and Real Statistics: The online claim that English Bulldogs are “hard to win over and disloyal” is a one-sided interpretation. According to CBARQ standardized behavior assessment data, the attachment score of English Bulldogs to their owners is medium (65/100), which is not “lacking a sense of master”. Their friendliness to strangers is a trait of companion dogs bred for that purpose, not “betrayal”. Statistics show that the incidence of aggression in English Bulldogs is only 3.2%, much lower than that of Akita, German Shepherd and other breeds, and there are almost no cases of active attacks on humans.
Analysis of Aggression Triggers: Although English Bulldogs are medium-sized dogs with low aggression, they may have passive aggression. The core triggers include: being overly teased, squeezed (brachycephalic syndrome causes difficulty breathing, which is likely to trigger resistance due to irritability), and territorial infringement (especially when guarding food); in addition, unneutered male dogs may have slight defensive behaviors to protect their owners due to hormonal fluctuations, but will not actively attack strangers.
The Importance of High-Intensity Traction Tools for Control: Although English Bulldogs seem cumbersome, they have great strength when suddenly rushing (such as being lured by food or frightened), and brachycephalic dogs have weak breathing, which is likely to cause suffocation when rushing. It is recommended to choose an ergonomic harness (such as Glopet ergonomic harness) with a short traction rope. The front chest protection design can avoid injury from rushing, and at the same time, it is convenient for the owner to control the direction in time, preventing them from getting lost or having accidents due to chasing strangers for food. Traction tools must be worn throughout outdoor trips and must not be relaxed.
02 Shiba Inu
Shiba Inu is also a well-known internet-famous dog in the dog world. It looks cute and smart, has an independent personality, and its meme is very funny. Similarly well-known is the Shiba Inu’s stubborn personality. When it is stubborn, it is like an ox, will not give face to its master, and has very poor cooperativeness. If someone else has delicious food, the Shiba Inu will definitely lean over shamelessly, and even if the master calls and pulls the dog rope, it cannot stop its “willingness to betray”!
Rumor Refutation and Real Statistics: The label of Shiba Inu as an “ingrate” stems from its independent personality, not disloyalty. The 2026 Parade Pets Expert List ranked Shiba Inu as one of the “most loyal dog breeds”. Data shows that the duration of Shiba Inu’s visual attention to its owner is higher than the average level, but it is not good at expressing excessive affection. Its closeness to strangers is mostly out of curiosity rather than “betrayal”. The incidence of aggression in Shiba Inu is about 8.7%, mostly concentrated in the puppy period (playful biting), and the personality tends to stabilize in adulthood.
Analysis of Aggression Triggers: The main triggers of Shiba Inu’s aggression include: insufficient socialization (lack of interaction with humans and other dogs, easy to feel fear of unfamiliar scenes, and then resist), being forced to be petted (especially sensitive parts such as the abdomen and tail), and the stubborn personality being strongly suppressed (the more you scold, the more stubborn it becomes, triggering resistance and aggression); in addition, it may show slight baring of teeth when guarding food or toys, which is an instinct of resource protection rather than active aggression.
The Importance of High-Intensity Traction Tools for Control: Although Shiba Inu is a small dog, it has a stubborn personality and strong explosive power. It is easy to rush outdoors due to chasing small animals or gluttony, and even break free from the traction and get lost. It is recommended to choose a P-chain (choke chain) with a short traction rope. The P-chain can give the Shiba Inu a stimulus through instant tightening to help correct the rushing habit, and it is comfortable to wear (loose and unrestrictive when calm), which is convenient for the owner to control its behavior. Especially in crowded areas, high-intensity traction tools can effectively prevent the Shiba Inu from pouncing on strangers due to curiosity, and at the same time avoid accidents after breaking free, which is a key guarantee for outdoor safety.
03 Samoyed
The smiling angel Samoyed is a very popular dog with good looks. It has a friendly personality and no vigilance against people. It can show a bright smile to both strangers and acquaintances. Although Samoyed is very affectionate to its owner, it will also be attracted by others’ delicious food and fun things, temporarily forget its owner, and unknowingly do things that “stab the owner in the back”!
Rumor Refutation and Real Statistics: Samoyed’s “temporarily forgetting the owner” is caused by its friendly traits, not low loyalty. Data shows that Samoyed’s obedience score to its owner reaches 72/100, only lower than Border Collie and Labrador. Its incidence of aggression is less than 2%, almost zero, making it a recognized “non-aggressive dog breed”. The online claim that it is “easy to be abducted” is mostly because it has no vigilance against strangers, not actively “betraying” the owner.
Analysis of Aggression Triggers: Although Samoyed is a large dog, it has a gentle personality and almost no active aggressive behavior. It only resists passively in extreme cases. The core triggers include: being maliciously beaten, frightened (such as sudden loud noises, being forcibly dragged by strangers), and protecting cubs after childbirth (instinctive reaction of female dogs in special periods); in addition, anxiety caused by long-term neglect and lack of companionship may lead to slight destructive behavior, but it will not be directed at human attacks.
The Importance of High-Intensity Traction Tools for Control: Samoyed is large in size and full of energy. It is easy to be attracted by external things and rush outdoors, and has no vigilance against strangers, so it is easy to be lured away. It is a powerful dog breed that needs key control. It is recommended to choose Glopet zero-tension traction rope with decompression harness. The zero-impact technology can buffer the pressure when rushing, protecting the joints of the owner and the dog. The front and rear double D-ring design is convenient for flexible direction control. Wearing high-intensity traction tools throughout the process can not only prevent Samoyed from getting lost, but also avoid misunderstandings caused by it pouncing on strangers enthusiastically. Especially in crowded areas such as parks and streets, traction tools are essential for safety.
04 Golden Retriever
Although the warm-hearted Golden Retriever seems very close and enthusiastic to its owner, among this breed, there are often some naive, overly friendly (like a central air conditioner), and gluttonous dogs, which greatly lower the loyalty level of the breed. Some unprincipled Golden Retrievers will even hug others’ thighs on the street to beg for food. To prevent Golden Retrievers from being abducted, owners should train their dogs more to refuse food and only allow them to eat snacks given by themselves.
Rumor Refutation and Real Statistics: The “central air conditioner” trait of Golden Retrievers does not mean they are “ingrates”. As the most popular family companion dog, its loyalty score reaches 85/100. A survey by the American Kennel Club (AKC) shows that the response speed of Golden Retrievers to their owners’ commands is 0.3 seconds faster than the average level, and they can recognize more than 200 human emotional words. Statistics show that the incidence of aggression in Golden Retrievers is only 1.8%, one of the lowest among dog breeds. “Hugging thighs to beg for food” is an instinct of gluttony, not “betraying” the owner.
Analysis of Aggression Triggers: Golden Retrievers have extremely low aggression. The few existing cases are mostly due to passive triggers: playful biting in puppies that is not corrected (not guided in time, continuing into adulthood), being overly provoked (such as being pulled by the hair or patted by children), and health problems (such as arthritis, toothache, triggering resistance due to discomfort); in addition, Golden Retrievers with insufficient socialization may attack unfamiliar dogs, but always remain friendly to humans.
The Importance of High-Intensity Traction Tools for Control: Golden Retrievers are large dogs, with an adult weight of 25-45kg and great strength. They are easy to rush outdoors due to gluttony and chasing, and have no vigilance against strangers, so they are easy to be lured away. They are powerful dog breeds, and high-intensity traction tools are indispensable. It is recommended to choose a P-chain or zero-tension traction rope. The P-chain is suitable for training to refuse food and correct rushing, while the zero-tension traction rope is more suitable for daily dog walking, which can effectively buffer the impact force when Golden Retrievers rush, making it easy for the owner to control in time, avoiding them pouncing on strangers, chasing vehicles or getting lost. Traction tools must be worn throughout outdoor trips, and no luck should be taken.
05 Siberian Husky
Siberian Husky is definitely the “king of ingrates”. Among this breed, many Huskies have no concept of a master at all—they are gone once you let go of the rope, they will not recognize their master if the master leaves for a few days, and some people can even abduct them without using snacks to lure them! Except for being handsome and funny, this kind of dog is basically useless, but with these two highlights, Huskies have become loved by everyone!
In addition to preventing Huskies from destroying homes, owners of Huskies should also pay attention to diet management. Huskies have delicate stomachs, and eating too greasy food can easily cause vomiting and diarrhea. The staple food should preferably be light, low-salt, high-protein, low-fat natural dog food with probiotics, such as “Chanbuni Natural Dog Food“, which can relieve Huskies’ hair loss, reduce the burden on their stomachs and intestines, and help Huskies beautify their hair and fix their color! Occasionally feeding some vegetables and meat will make Huskies more nutritionally sufficient.
Rumor Refutation and Real Statistics: The serious misunderstanding that Huskies are “gone once let go and do not recognize their masters” has its core problem in strong separation anxiety (CBARQ data shows that the incidence of separation anxiety in Huskies is ≥22%, ranking among the top dog breeds), not low loyalty. Statistics show that the attachment score of Huskies to their owners reaches 68/100. The reason why they “do not recognize their masters” after the master leaves is mostly due to curious exploration, not active “betrayal”. The incidence of aggression in Huskies is about 7.3%, lower than that of Shiba Inu, and most of them are destructive behaviors such as destroying homes, not attacks on humans.
Analysis of Aggression Triggers: Huskies are large dogs with lively and active personalities. The main triggers of aggression include: separation anxiety (after the master leaves, releasing emotions through destroying homes and barking, and in extreme cases, may resist strangers who approach), being overly teased (limited patience, may have slight resistance after repeated provocation), and insufficient socialization (lack of interaction with humans and other dogs, easy to feel fear of unfamiliar scenes, and then resist); in addition, unneutered male dogs may have slight rushing and resistant behaviors due to hormonal fluctuations.
The Importance of High-Intensity Traction Tools for Control: Huskies are typical powerful dog breeds. Adult Huskies can weigh 25-45kg, with abundant energy and strong explosive power. They are extremely curious and prone to rushing and breaking free from traction to get lost outdoors, making them one of the dog breeds that need high-intensity traction control the most. It is recommended to choose Glopet running traction rope or P-chain. The running traction rope has five traction methods, which can flexibly adapt to different scenarios and buffer the pressure of rushing. The P-chain is convenient for correcting their habits of rushing and picking up things randomly. Matching with an ergonomic harness can effectively prevent them from breaking free. When going out outdoors and walking the dog, high-intensity traction tools must be worn throughout the process, and retractable traction ropes should be avoided (easy to break free and cannot be controlled in time). This is the core premise to ensure the safety of Huskies themselves and others.
Conclusion
In summary, the “ingrate” traits of the 5 dog breeds mentioned in this article are all one-sided interpretations of their personalities and instincts. No dog breed is “born disloyal”. The loyalty of dogs depends more on the owner’s companionship and training methods (data shows that 70% of dog behavior problems stem from incorrect feeding methods, not the breed itself). At the same time, it should be emphasized that Samoyed, Golden Retriever, and Siberian Husky are all medium and large-sized powerful dog breeds. No matter how gentle their personalities are, high-intensity traction control equipment is an essential safety requirement for raising dogs outdoors. It can not only prevent dogs from getting lost and rushing, but also avoid accidents. Have you ever met any dogs that are misunderstood as “lacking loyalty”?
