New York, NY -- In the market for a new dog? Well beware bow-wow buyer.

According to dog trainer-to-the-stars Bash Dibra, many breeds of bowsers can display unpleasant behavior problems, so you should learn the potential pitfalls before you pick out a puppy.

For instance, a Boxer may steal food, drool or snore and the breed tends to be flatulent.

Bloodhounds, on the other hand, may excessively sniff strangers' most private places, while Mastiffs may track in dirt.

And a hairless Chinese Crested might be a bad choice for someone who doesn't want to walk their dog 30 minutes a day -- Dibra says this breed has a "tendency toward boredom."

Finally, Pugs can be stubborn and suffer from lots of snoring and wheezing.

Dibra -- whose client list includes Mariah Carey and Martin Scorsese -- details doggie specifics in his new book, "Your Dream Dog" (New American Library).
