Former Burglars Named the 10 Small Dogs They Hate Most (It's Not the Bite)

A small dog doesn’t have to bite to stop a burglar—it just has to notice, sound the alarm, and buy you time. I’ll count down the ten small dogs former burglars hate most, drawing on my years raising stock and training guardian dogs on a high-plains sheep ranch. I’ll share my verdict on each breed, from Papillons that raise the alarm to Pomeranians whose barking can be ignored, Yorkies that wake the whole road, and the Schipperke that takes the top spot. I’ll also look at what these dogs get right, where burglars may have them wrong, and why a small dog’s instincts can matter more than its size. 0:00 Why burglars fear small dogs 0:40 Papillons sound the alarm 2:12 Pomeranians bark—and get ignored 3:28 Yorkies wake the whole road 4:48 Shelties wake the big dog 6:18 Lhasa Apsos refuse the bribe 7:42 Testing a dog's instincts 9:12 Scotties find the right door 10:26 Wire Fox Terriers move fast 11:44 Min Pins guard the hallway 13:07 The Schipperke takes top spot 14:49 Small dogs buy you seconds #SmallDogs #DogBreeds #HomeSecurity #Dogs
