I’m a dog trainer and there’s five breeds i’d never own – one popular pooch is a genetic disaster
A DOG trainer has revealed five dogs she would never own, including one pooch that she said is a “genetic disaster”.
Picking a dog breed to have as a pet can be incredibly difficult, and there are many important things to consider before making a choice, such as the temperament of the breed and how much training they need.
TikToker @pandorathedog0, shared which breeds she would never own herself, after being a dog trainer for five years.
The first pooch on her list is the New Foundland.
She shared: “I love them, but I can’t handle the drool”.
Another dog that the trainer revealed she would not own is the Miniature Schnauzer.
The trainer said that dog has a “weird personality” and added that their beards are always “wet and smelly”.
The TikToker also shared that she is not a fan of Doodles, which is the name for dogs that are cross bred with Poodles.
She said: “They’re a genetic disaster and the worst thing to happen to the dog industry”.
Doodles are prone to a number of health issues, such as hip dysplasia and ear infections.
English Bulldogs are another breed that the trainer said that she would never own, and she described them as a “walking vet bill” due to the amount of health problems they have.
The dogs are prone to a wide range of serious health issues, such as breathing problems, skin and ear diseases and eye disorders.
Finally, the dog trainer revealed that she would never own a Great Dane.
She said: “I love them but they just don’t live very long”.
Great Dane’s have a lifespan of between 8-10 years, whereas the average lifespan for a dog is 10-13 years.
The dog trainer’s video has likely struck a chord with many, as it has racked up over 800,000 views on the video sharing platform.
TikTokers raced to the comments section to share their thoughts.
