A PET guru has listed the four popular dog breeds to best give a miss if you're first-time owner.

From the adorable sausage dogs to the more loyal golden retriever, there are dozens of dog breeds to choose from.

But if your family is looking for a new pet, one expert in the industry has offered a helping hand by revealing the breeds that are best left with more experienced owners.

The whizz, better known as @dogs.edu on TikTok, claimed there are four popular breeds that are likely to cause a headache.

Huskies might seem like a great option – after all, in movies they're all heroic.

According to the pet enthusiast, these dogs are also extremely challenging to train and they shed heavily.

To make sure you and your pet are both happy, the whizz urged: ''Please research before buying any breed of dog.''

Fellow lovers of these furry four-legged pals flocked to comments to share their thoughts.

''And Rottweilers. Definitely not for first timers,'' one added.
