I’m a dog groomer – eight breeds I’d never own, the ‘screaming banshee’ is notoriously awful
A DOG groomer has divided opinions after revealing the breeds she would never want to own.
Amber Nicole (@amburito.com) listed a selection of large canines that she claims are too messy, high maintenance, or lack personality.
She has garnered over 1,000 followers on TikTok with regular posts sharing an insight into her life working closely with pets.
She shared her thoughts candidly after observing eight of her least favorite dog breeds.
Amber said: “Number one Huskies, if you want to live with a screaming banshee 24/7 be my guest but it’s not for me.
“I groom a lot of them. They work well with me because I show them who’s the boss even though they are notoriously awful for grooming.”
She listed other issues with the dog breed including that they are “loud, sassy, too hairy, and naughty”.
She continued: “Number two Giant Schnauzer, behavior none.
“I’m just not a Schnauzer person.”
The text over the video read: “Bad behavior, pointy hair, so mid.”
Amber said: “Number three Samoyed, way too much hair and way too high maintenance.
“Loud just like a Husky. Literally, it rains once, it rolls in a mud puddle and you have a brown dog.”
She continued: “I truly do adore Great Danes they are awesome dogs. My concern with Great Danes is that they don’t live long.
“They have health problems and I’m a sensitive person, I couldn’t do it.”
Amber also claimed that the dogs have a “peanut brain” as she continued to add to her extensive list.
She said: “Bouvier des Flandres.
“When I first started here this was the first time that I had ever seen this dog and I thought wow that’s a cool dog. It has a really cool haircut.
“Now I would rather die than live with a dog that constantly smells like mildew.
“There’s a reason it’s called dirty beard, its beard is constantly dirty and it smells like wet feet.
“Newfoundland are so cool, very cool dogs.
“Way too much hair, way too big, and way too much slobber.
“They don’t live very long and that’s really depressing.”
Amber admitted the next dog on her list “creeps” her out and claimed it doesn’t have a personality.
She said: “Standard Poodles, they are really good dogs and easily trained.
“But my question is who goes to get a dog and is like I want a fluffy dog, but a fluffy dog that I’m going to shave the face and neck on to make it look like it’s an 85-year-old man.
“And I’m going to say it’s a very cute dog.
“Who are you lying to? Why are you lying to yourself, no.
“They also have the personality of an old man, no flavor whatsoever.
“And they are the reason my least favorite breed ever was made.
“Last but not least the worst thing created by humanity, the doodle.
“It’s a mutt, it’s not a purebred.
“I literally do not give a s**t if it’s a Bernedoodle, Goldendoodle, or Skinwalker thing.
“As long as it’s a doodle the behavior sucks, they are very hard to train.
“Their hair sucks and I’m sorry but doodle owners are what ruined the breed for me.
“The dogs can be sweet but their owners suck.”
Amber captioned the post: “If you hate on me for the Doodle slander you are just feeding my hate for them.”
The video went viral with over 33,000 views as pet owners penned comments defending the breeds.
One person wrote: “My Poodle has almost too much personality.
“Love Poodles, but I’m a firm believer that there’s a person for every breed and a breed for every person.”
Another said: “Don’t understand all the hate for Huskies, had one for 13 years and he was perfect!”
A third commented: “Newfies are awesome and they do not stink!”
A fourth added: “You don’t know what you’re missing by not having a Bouvier des Flanders… most amazing breed. Just give them a bath!”
