I’m a vet – the 13 dog breeds I’d never own, including the pooch that smells like a ‘bag of Doritos’ on a good day

IF you've made the decision to welcome a dog into the family, the next big thing to decide is which breed is best for you and your lifestyle.

But luckily, a vet who goes by the name of FleurDeLucy has revealed the 13 dog breeds she's never own and the reasons why.

First up in the post shared to TikTok (@fleurdelucy), she begins with the Great Dane and says this specific type of pooch is "basically a house cat that doesn't live long"

It's not good news if you're a fan of the Yorkshire Terrier either, because according to the vet, this fussy pooch "requires a personal chef."

And if you're thinking about welcoming a Weimaraner into your home, she warns to be aware: "Too many voices in their head."

She goes on to say that French Bulldogs have so many allergies even "the earth makes them itchy," while the English Pointer is so energetic, pet owners find it a struggle keeping up with them.

"Don't have 32 hours a day to run after them," she notes.

Moving onto the Toy Poodle, FleurDeLucy points out: "Live to be 100 go blind and deaf at 2."

And for anyone who loves a Doodle, she jokes they're "dumber than the box of rocks they wouldn't hesitate to eat."

Another dog breed that the vet would advise steering clear of is the Chihuahua.

"Only have two gears - shaking or plotting a murder," she says.

And if your worst fear is having a smelly dog, then the Shih Tzu is a breed that may be worth avoiding, according to the dog whizz.

"Smells like Doritos on a good day," she says.

Meanwhile, the St Bernard is known to have two popular characteristics - they shed and drool a lot.

So you better be prepared to constantly be hoovering up hair if you own one of these big breeds.

Elsewhere, she warns that German Shepherds are the "goodest boys with the baddest hips," notes that Rottweilers have "more attitude than critical thinking skills" and that Doberman's "would abandon you in battle after seeing their own shadow."

She captioned the post: "All in good fun. Dogs are too good for us humans."

The post has since gone viral, garnering a whopping 7.1 million views and several comments from dog owners up and down the country.

"My Shih Tzu has NEVER smelled like Doritos! How dare you!? Fritos, on the other hand…" joked one.

A second penned: "I have a Doodle and can confirm, marbles for brains - so sweet though!"

A third commented: "My Yorkie and I feel attacked. I don’t cook meals for her! I just have to cut her special fridge food into tiny pieces and hand feed them to her!"

Meanwhile, a fourth noted: "My Rottweiler has 0 attitude and is still indanger of her attitude outpacing her critical thinking skills."

Another noted: "GSPs are the best! Not for everyone, that’s for sure. But ours is the most lazy hyper lovable dog we’ve ever owned."

And a further chimed in: "My best friend's Doberman got scared of a moth and hid behind the couch until we git rid of it."
