While it sounds like the perfect job to most animal lovers, it can be eye-opening and even put you off owning certain pets.
That’s what one doggy daycare worker claims after sharing the dog breeds she would never want to own after being around them with long periods.
TikTok user @allyburkk sparked a debate when she revealed her personal opinions on the eight dogs she would avoid. First up, she would never want to own a Goldendoodle because she’s “never met a good one”.
She claims they’re “poorly bred, raging psychopaths, come from backyard breeders, no health testing regulations, horrible mix of breeds”.
Next, she would stay away from Bernese Mountain dogs as she “had a horrible experience with one”. She added: “Every single one I’ve met is a vacuum, also prone to aggression and they don’t live very long.”
Samoyed came next on her list because “they’re too much work”. She said: “Their fur is not for the weak and they’re so stubborn”. She says she would stay away from Breica Weimaraners because “most of them are neurotic psychos”, and Doberman Pinschers as they’re difficult to train.
Shockingly, she also says she wouldn’t want to own a Labrador, claiming “they’re nut cases”. She added: “Some are lovely, others are demon spawns. Too big of a risk.” While she didn’t explain why, she says she also wouldn’t want to own an Atlas or a Chihuahua.
Commenting on her post, one user said: “While I love my childhood Weimaraner, I understand. They aren’t the brightest at times.” Another user added: “Samoyeds are the best! But you’re right they are very stubborn and the fur never ends! But I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
A third user said: “As someone who worked at a daycare as well, I concur.” While another pointed out how “not every breed is for every owner”, as they encouraged people to do their research before opening up their home and heart to a pet.
Another user encouraged animal lovers to visit rescue centres rather than buying from breeders as there’s many dogs out there who need a second chance. One user said: “My Doodle Mutt is the most calm well behaved dog I know.”
It’s worth remembering the TikTok user shared the information based on her own experiences. But with every dog, training is required and not all breeds are suitable for owners, let alone it be their first pup.
