0:02
I'm here to talk about a breed that's as
0:03
misunderstood as a mime at a rock
0:05
concert the sharpi now I know what
0:07
you're thinking but they look so cute
0:10
sure they do but let me give you 12
0:12
reasons why you should never own a
0:14
sharpi buckle up it's going to be a wild
0:17
ride one the wrinkles first off let's
0:21
discuss those iconic wrinkles they look
0:23
adorable right but those folds are like
0:25
little pockets of trouble they trap
0:27
moisture and dirt creating the perfect
0:29
environment for infections it's like
0:31
owning a dog that needs a full-time spa
0:33
day who has that kind of time two the
0:36
temperament next up is their temperament
0:39
Sharpes are known for being independent
0:41
thinkers translation they're not exactly
0:43
the most obedient dogs training one is
0:46
like trying to teach a cat to fetch
0:48
frustrating and ultimately futile three
0:51
health issues now let's talk Health
0:54
Sharpes are notorious for an array of
0:56
health problems including skin issues
0:58
hip dysplasia and ey conditions you
1:01
might as well set up a GoFundMe for vet
1:03
bills because you'll need it four the
1:05
drool factor and don't even get me
1:08
started on drooling these pups can
1:10
produce enough slobber to fill a kitty
1:11
pool if you enjoy cleaning up after your
1:13
dog more than you enjoy their company
1:15
then by all means go ahead five
1:18
stubbornness their stubbornness deserves
1:20
its own mention if you think you can
1:22
just walk in and assert dominance over a
1:24
Shar P think again they'll look at you
1:26
like you just asked them to do calculus
1:28
good luck getting them to budge six
1:33
sh pays can be aloof with strangers and
1:36
other pets if you have friends who love
1:38
dogs or other pets be prepared for
1:39
awkward introductions and potential
1:41
doggy drama it's like hosting
1:43
Thanksgiving dinner with your weird
1:44
Uncle nobody wants that seven exercise
1:48
requirements these dogs need exercise
1:50
but not too much finding the right
1:51
balance is like walking a tight RPP
1:53
while juggling flaming torches one wrong
1:55
move and you're in trouble too little
1:58
exercise leads to boredom and mischief
2:00
too much can make them cranky eight
2:02
grooming needs let's not forget grooming
2:05
those wrinkles require regular cleaning
2:07
to prevent infections and odor you'll
2:09
spend more time wiping down your dog
2:10
than enjoying their company it's like
2:12
having a toddler who just discovered mud
2:17
barking Behavior Sharpes can be quite
2:20
vocal they bark when they want attention
2:22
or when they're bored so basically all
2:24
the time if you live in an apartment or
2:26
have close neighbors prepare for some
2:28
serious noise complaints
2:31
10 not for firsttime owners if you're a
2:35
first-time dog owner steer clear of this
2:37
breed they require an experienced hand
2:39
to manage their quirks and challenges
2:42
you don't want your first pet to be a
2:43
four-legged puzzle that keeps changing
2:44
the pieces on you 11 lifespan concerns
2:48
and let's talk lifespan sh pays don't
2:52
live as long as some other breeds due to
2:53
their health issues you might find
2:55
yourself saying goodbye sooner than
2:56
you'd like which is never easy 12 the
3:01
ownership finally let's address the
3:03
elephant in the room cost between vet
3:05
bills grooming expenses and food owning
3:07
a sharpi can drain your wallet faster
3:09
than a kid with a credit card at
3:10
Disneyland in conclusion while Sharpes
3:13
may look like adorable little aliens
3:15
with their wrinkly faces and stocky
3:17
bodies owning one is not for the faint
3:19
of heart or wallet so unless you're
3:21
ready for the challenge of a lifetime or
3:24
just really love cleaning up drool maybe
3:26
it's best to admire these unique dogs
3:27
