“Starting with the number 1, the Central Asian Shepherd, also known as the Alabai,” he said in a video posted on his TikTok profile in July. The clip has already received over 25 million views.
“The males can get over 170-plus pounds, and they’re great livestock guardians, but the problem is, I don’t have any livestock,” he joked. Wing added that if you happen to have livestock at home, this dog may be good for “helping to protect the flock.”
Next, he mentioned that he wouldn’t have a Bloodhound. “The males can get up to 110 pounds. But it’s not the size that concerns me, it’s their oily skin,” the trainer explained.
“That oily skin makes them stink like no other dog. I don’t care how many baths you give them, they just have a smell about them that’s hard to get rid of,” he added. Finally, the third dog breed Wing wouldn’t want as a companion is the Chihuahua.
“If I needed a 3-pound demon from the underworld that served no other purpose than to sit on my lap and bite anything that comes within 3 feet range of me, then I would get a chihuahua, but it’ll be a hard pass for me on that one,” he confessed.
