Some dog breeds are distinguished by their enviable stubbornness and independence, which will in no way allow them to accept a new owner.
One of these breeds is the Basenji. Among the characteristics of its representatives are intelligence, independence and stubbornness.
People who decide to try to become a new owner for a Basenji will be completely ignored, and sometimes even openly shown hostility.
Another breed that we simply couldn’t help but include in this list is the Shih Tzu.
Shih Tzus are friendly to their owners, but you will have to work hard to win the loyalty of such a pet. The most that new owners can expect from this dog is indulgence.
However, there is good news - although at first the Shih Tzu will not notice you, after a while, reinforced with treats and favorite games, he will turn into a faithful companion and reliable friend.
The same can be said about the Chow Chow, it is better to get it as a puppy.
If you have to deal with an adult dog, be patient, loving and caring to overcome the independence and stubbornness of these dogs, while preserving their individuality and unique personality.
