I’m a vet tech and there’s 4 breeds I never like to deal with – a popular pooch nearly bit my arm off
A VETERINARY, technician has revealed the four breeds that she hates having to handle.
The woman, known simply as @bigstretchy on social media, shared her list of undesired pooches via a video posted to her TikTok channel.
First on the vet tech’s list is the Belgian Mallinois, or Belgian Shepherd, which she said was an “obvious choice”.
She described the dog as being “pretty neurotic” and prone to aggression.
The vet tech explained that people generally buy this breed of dog because they want a “strong alpha” and added that if they are trained at all, it is often in a language other than English so that the dog is only responsive to them.
Next on her is the German Shepherd, but she added that she is bias, as her arm was once almost bitten off by one of these dogs.
“It was pretty painful and I will have that scar forever”, she said.
The vet tech described German Shepherds as “giant babies” and “drama queens” that hate it when you touch them.
She said that training for this breed is “imperative”.
The third dog that the vet tech does not like handling is the Husky, which she said is “known for the drama”.
She explained that they are very loud, very vocal and very hard to touch.
Finally, the vet tech said that her least favourite dog of all to handle is the Cane Corso.
She said that the worst dog attack she has ever been witness to was caused by this breed and revealed that she saw the dog slice someone’s face open.
Cane Corso’s were bred for fighting and guarding, and can be extremely aggressive.
The vet tech’s video has likely struck a chord with many people, as it has racked up over 900,000 views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts.
One person said: “I knew Corso was going be on this list which makes me sad because my Corso is the sweetest but they are definitely a scary breed”.
A second person said: “I’m a Belgian Malinois owner and they are so very anxious and are 1000% not for first time dog owners.
