The number of dogs bought in lockdown has soared as people look for new companions.
A huge number of us decided to welcome new puppies into our homes last year – Kennel Club figures show dog ownership soared by nearly eight percent – and post-lockdown demand for four-legged friends remains high.
Some of the most adorable dogs are also the naughtiest, being more likely to steal food, chew on the furniture or dig up your flowerbeds.
There are a whopping 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, alongside numerous crossbreeds, so there’s plenty of thinking to do before you select your family’s latest addition.
Here are the 10 naughtiest breeds of dog:
1. Beagle
Small and active, it is often said that you should pet-proof your home if you're thinking of becoming a Beagle's family and should never leave any food, drink or chocolate on the table. Adorable but very mischievous!
2. Labrador
The Labrador is the UK's most popular breed of dog but, as anybody who has ever owned one will know, they also have the potential to be the naughtiest. It's difficult to stay angry at them for long though, because they are adorable and always seem very sorry...before they do it again.
3. Welsh Pembroke Corgi
They may be a favourite of the Queen, but the Welsh Pembroke Corgi can be royally naughty - many a pair of shoes have fallen foul of thier love of chewing.
4. Shiba Inu
The Shiba Inu is one of the quietest breeds of dog so can be a great choice for a flat or apartment. Leave them alone though and they will be quietly destructive, while they also quite like to run away from their owners for their own entertainment.
