I’m a dog walker and here’s five breeds I would never, EVER own – including the popular pooch that barks 24/7
A DOG walker has revealed the five breeds she would never, ever own.
So if you’re thinking of getting a dog and aren’t sure which pooch is right for you, then you’ll need to take notes.
Kristina Evans, a dog walker and dog wedding chaperone from North Wales, explained that there’s a popular pooch she would never own, because it barks 24/7.
Not only this, but she also explained that whilst many think Beagles are relaxed dogs, in her opinion, they’re the total opposite.
Sharing her thoughts on social media, Kristina shared the dog breeds that she would “never, ever own as a full-time dog walker.”
First things first, Kristina claimed that she would never own any dog that is “mixed with a Poodle”, including Cavapoos and Cockapoos.
Whilst she didn’t share a particular reason why, her response was simple, as she stated: “Just no.”
She then explained why Beagles aren’t for her, as she added: “I think everyone thinks that they’re just dad chill dogs – they’re really not. They’re gonna escape, they’re gonna tear your house apart.”
Following this, the blonde-haired beauty then claimed that she would also never own a flat faced dog, including Pugs and Frenchies.
As well as this, she confessed that Dachshunds, whether that be miniature Dachshunds or normal sized Dachshunds, are also dogs she would ever own.
She claimed: “Unless you want something that’s just gonna bark 24/7.”
Finally, Kristina stressed that she would never own “any Bully breed”, including an American Bulldog.
She recognised: “This is nothing to do with the ban, the size, the fact that people think that they’re kid eating monsters even though they’re actually not – it’s just simply the fact that they’re not the most energetic breed.
“They’d much rather just sit in the house all day everyday just getting loads of attention.”
