Some dog breeds have more care requirements than others. For instance, if you're considering a working breed, you'll need to be aware that it will likely require more exercise and enrichment than many other dogs.

Likewise, a long-haired breed generally needs more grooming than a dog with a short coat. And some dogs' instincts, such as their prey drive, are very hardwired, so you'll have to put in extra training to keep them manageable.
Here are 10 high-maintenance dog breeds that need some extra attention.
Tip
For dog breeds that are high energy and always looking for a job to do, dog sports, such as agility or flying disc, can be a great option. There also are herding and scent-tracking courses to put your breed’s natural instincts to the test.

Belgian Malinois
If you've ever seen a Belgian Malinois involved in obedience training, police work, or search and rescue, you'll know what smart and driven dogs they are. But a Mali requires a special type of home. If they aren't given the opportunity to put their drive to use, they can become bored, stressed, mouthy, overexcitable, reactive, and overall a big challenge. Dog sports are an ideal match for this canine's energy and work ethic.

Puli

The Puli has an incredibly distinctive look. Its unique double coat forms into strands resembling dreadlocks. This makes the dog's grooming regimen quite involved. Unless you're prepared to devote a lot of time to maintain and separate the cords, then this isn't the dog for you. Even bathing a Puli is a project. The cords need to be fully dried after baths to prevent mildew from forming.
Breed Overview
HEIGHT: 16 to 17 inches
WEIGHT: 25 to 35 pounds
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Square build; naturally corded coat; colors include black, silver, and white

Greyhound

Greyhounds can make affectionate and easygoing companions. But one factor to be aware of if you're considering a greyhound is the breed's strong prey drive. On walks, these dogs often want to chase wildlife. And in the house, they might not be able to live alongside small furry pets. You'll have to put in a lot of work on recall training, and your dog might only be able to go off leash in secure spaces.

WEIGHT: 60 to 80 pounds
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Long legs; athletic, thin body; long, narrow head with pointed muzzle; short, smooth coat in many different solid and brindle colors

Border Collie

Border collies excel at herding, but this built-in drive can sometimes manifest itself in a negative way. They might nip at the heels of family members or even chase after cars or bikes. Enrolling them in herding courses is a great way to channel this instinct and get out some of the breed's ample physical and mental energy. Border collies also excel in most other dog sports, as they're athletic and eager to please.
