There are several breeds that are more cat-like than dog-like in character.
They are breaking the established idea that all dogs are always happy to receive attention and communication.
There are breeds that are more introverted. They protect their personal space and prefer, like cats, to observe what is happening from the sidelines.
They also look at people they don't know well with suspicion.
Basenji
Not the most social of pets, they can easily bare their teeth and growl at other dogs and strangers.
Cynologists advise socializing Basenjis from an early age to avoid problems in the future.
Chow Chow
This breed carefully chooses who can be allowed into its circle and who should be consigned to oblivion forever.
Chow Chows were once trained as watchful guard dogs for aristocrats in ancient China.
Afghan Hound
This breed is difficult to train. The Afghan hound has a willful character.
It will take a lot of effort to get representatives of this breed to follow commands.
Saluki
It is better not to disturb this breed with intrusive attention. Saluki loves to play, but in moderation and according to the mood.
The dog is devoted to its owner, but with people it barely knows, there is almost no chance of winning complete trust.
Shar Pei
Another breed that loves family members but is wary of strangers.
Shar Pei also actively protect their personal boundaries and can growl if they don’t like something.
Shiba Inu
It's hard to make friends with this breed, but the Shiba Inu still consistently ranks among the most popular dogs in the world.
These "Japanese" are jealous of their comfort.
They are also very particular about who they want to get along with.
