Four dog breeds I'd never own, they're too much work and have health issues | The Sun

A VET tech has revealed the dog breeds she would never own.

Even though she loves all dogs, she admitted that some breeds are too much work and have too many health issues.


TikToker Lexi Loreen Hibb (@lexi_loreen_h) said she thought about owning each one of the breeds.

"Don’t get me wrong, I love all dogs, and have at one point seriously considered pretty much every single one," she wrote on TikTok.

But there are four dogs she'd never take home.

The first pet on Lexi's list was the pug because they can't breathe and have many health issues.

However, owners of pugs would describe them as the ideal house dog, according to the American Kennel Club.

"Pugs live to love and to be loved in return," they said.

In addition to pugs, Lexi said she would never own a silver lab, a type of labrador retriever with a gray coat, and yellow eyes.

They have "horrible skin issues," she said.

Health issues aside, silver labs are described as perfect for active families, per the World Animal Foundation.

"They respond well to training, enjoy exploring nature with you, love playing water sports, and are fond of the fetch game," they wrote.

Lexi said she would avoid owning the English bulldog, because "everything that could possibly go wrong … goes wrong."

But if you're not worried about Murphy's law, the AKC described English bulldogs as "kind but courageous, friendly but dignified."

The last breed identified on Lexi's list was the border collie.

"This one is more just an opinion, they require so much work and stimulation," she said.

The AKC defined border collies as bright workaholics who could be "a bit too amazing for owners without the time, energy, or means to keep it occupied."
