I’m a vet – 12 dog breeds I would never own – one is popular with the late Queen Elizabeth but has way too much attitude
A VETERINARIAN has revealed the 12 breeds she would never own after working in the industry for nine years.
Madison Marshall took to social media to spill the tea on the worst dog breeds she’s seen.
Starting off strong, she revealed she would never own a Belgian Malinois as they had ‘amazing scary dog privileges’ and were often nicknamed ‘maligators’.
She also said she’d never own a Cane Corso because they were also ‘scary’ and she said often times they weren’t trained properly so try to ‘eat’ her.
German Shepherd’s also made it onto the list, Madison revealed they may look big and scary but are often times big babies.
Most vets have Huskies on their list of dogs they’d never own and this vet was no different.
She said they constantly scream and that the amount of hair shedding was a nightmare.
Shiba Inu‘s were also on her list as they constantly snap at her and are constantly screaming.
The vet said Australian Shepherd’s were ‘beautiful’ but often struggled around strangers as they only trust their owners.
English Bulldogs were one of Madison’s favourites – but she said that their health issues are a struggle to get past.
While the late Queen Elizabeth was a notorious fan of Corgis, Madison was not.
She said: “Big attitude for little guys, so much hate.
“Why are you so crazy? Chill.”
Cattle dogs weren’t problematic for the vet but she said they are best working as they have so much energy.
Beagles were also not her favourite bread as they were constantly wailing and can often be ‘sassy’.
She added that Frenchies were a ‘genetic nightmare’ while Dachshunds had lots of back problems which ‘terrified’ her.
