I’m a vet tech and hate a certain dog breed – they’re skittish & neurotic, I literally cannot stand their owners either

A VETERINARY technician has raged about having had awful experiences with a specific dog breed and their owners. 

She listed all the reasons she “hates” the canines as she urged people not to get one.

People who’ve worked closely with pets have confessed the industry has changed their thoughts on some animals.

Vet techs took to Reddit to discuss the canines they now vow not to own.

A top response came from an individual venting about doodles.

“I literally cannot stand doodles and their owners,” she wrote.

“We see a s**t ton of them where I am like 1 in 3 of our canine patients is a doodle of some sort.

“Bernedoodles, Sheepadoodles, Goldendoodles, Colliedoodles, Doberdoodles, etc etc etc the list goes on and on. 

“If the breed exists it’s been doodled and I’ve probably seen it at this clinic.

“And their owners are SO entitled.

"‘I paid $5,000 for this dog and the breeder told me preventatives were a scam!

“I’m not listening to you’ - 9/10 times how the conversation goes.

"Cool! I hope they all get heartworms and die off!

“I’m not exaggerating, of ALL of the patients I’ve met that were doodles maybe 3 or 4 of them were well-mannered, well-trained good dogs."

“I’ve been at this clinic for 2 years," she continued.

“ALL those other doodles were 1) neurotic 2) aggressive 3) extremely skittish and fearful 4) bouncy and nippy to the point where it took multiple people to hold 5) so thickly matted we had to shave just for an HWT [heartworm test] blood draw.

“I hate them. They should not exist and I will always advise people not to get one. 

“JUST GET A F**KING POODLE!!!”

DOODLE DRAMA 

Other Reddit users agreed and complained about the breed’s behavior making them untrustworthy.

“Doodles. Any kind,” one person said.

“Can’t stand them and they all look the same and act the same.

"Also pugs and bulldogs because of the breathing and grossness. 

“Most little dogs. Huskies for obvious reasons.”

Can’t stand them and they all look the same and act the same.

“Due to heart disease - no cavaliers, Dobies, boxers, wolfhounds, deerhounds,” another said. 

“Due to cancer - no berners, goldens, flat coats, Rotties, greyhounds.

“Due to being complete lemons - no bulldogs, Frenchies, bull terriers, most Rotties, Berners, doodles, most goldens.

"Due to I hate snoring - all brachycephalics.”

“I would never own any dog that I couldn't reasonably lift up on my own, in case of an emergency,” a third commented.

“Also, no brachycephalics. 

“But breed-specific: Rottweilers always seem to have a hair trigger so I don't trust them. 

“I also don't like most ‘doodles.’

“Would totally have a lab, or a golden, or a poodle (if it wasn't for the grooming), but mix them together, and they are just nuts.”

UNPOPULAR OPINION 

Despite the flood of people saying they wouldn’t own a doodle, the breed wasn’t mentioned by the person who initially started the thread.

“German shepherds, huskies, chihuahuas, labs, dachshunds, Rottweiler, mastiff, cane corso, JRT [Jack Russell terrier], pugs... probably more I am missing,” she listed.

“I think I've narrowed a few breeds down to the ones I actually like. cavaliers, goldens, and boxers lol. 

“I do like some of the Yorki/Malti Poos and Shih Tzus. Although I wouldn't want to own one due to horrible teeth.

“Shepherds are definitely at the top of my list. I don't trust them as far as I can throw them.

“I've only met a few nice ones.”
