These are the 12 dog breeds most likely to misbehave during the festive season

'Tis the season to be merry, but not so much if you have one of these twelve breeds at home...
We all get excited over Christmas, and our pets are no exception - expecially when it comes to cat and their love/hate relationship with the Christmas tree.
But now research conducted by Itchpet has revealed that 12.5 million pets will commit a 'crime' during the holidays — and which breeds are more likely to be the culprits.
The study involved 2,000 pet owners, of which 53% said that their pets misbehaved during the festive season - with 'crimes' ranging from damaging decorations or presents, to knocking over the Christmas tree.
"Your cat or dog might be your best friend, but that doesn’t mean they can’t cause chaos from time to time," Charlotte Harper, Co-founder of Itchpet said.
Charlotte recommends keeping their routine and keeping them calm when you have guests over, as well as not overfeeding them with snacks.
But who's more likely to mishave? Time to find out...
