'I've worked with dogs for 10 years and these are the only breeds I would own'
A vet with 10 years of experience has shared the nine dog breeds she would welcome into her home with open arms after working with countless breeds throughout her career An experienced vet with a decade of working with different dog breeds has taken to social media to share the breeds she would happily have in her home. Saddy the animal expert shared a list of nine breeds she believes would be ideal companions for most prospective pet owners. In her insightful clip, Saddy expressed: "We see lots of posts about breeds vet professionals wouldn't own, and while I agree with the majority of them, I feel like it's time to see the opposite of the narrative! All breeds have their unique personalities and health issues, but that shouldn't be the end all, be all. "Again, this is personal preference based on personal experience and others don't have to agree." Pitbull terrier or bully mix Speaking of the Pitbull terrier or bully mix, Saddy suggested that owning one offers "scary dog privilege" alluding to the sense of security people feel when walking these dogs at night. She elaborated: "They're a favourite among most vet staff for a reason." Greyhound Greyhounds often end up abandoned or in rescue shelters when their racing career comes to an end, which is usually around the age of three and five. Saddy mentioned that despite their need for regular runs, they are often quite lazy once they've released their pent-up energy. She said: "They're gentle and sweet-natured. They look like they've been squished hot dog style. They're on the quieter side and great for introverts." Collie Saddy added that while collies are energetic, they're said to make great pets to all types of owners. She noted: "They're pretty boys (and girls), part of the Fab Four, even tempered, intelligent and loyal." The 'fab four' refers to the four dog breeds often utilised for work - Labradors, collies, golden retrievers and poodles. She further commented on the cuteness of their ears, which some have likened to bears. Borzoi It's not often you see a Borzoi. The large Russian breed, also known as Russian Hunting Sighthound, have been described as having a "noodle face" due to their long noses. Saddy stated: "They're actual royalty. Very fun and silly personalities. Loyal to their people. Unique breed." Golden Retriever Among the breeds she recommends, Saddy includes the golden retriever, describing them as "the definition of man's best friend" and assuring potential owners that they "can't go wrong" with these pets. The vet explained further: "They're an extremely versatile breed, eager to please and have the best smooch faces." Boxer Boxers were described by Saddy as "some of the happiest dogs alive", with many showing their excitement with a "wiggle butt." She said: "They're everyone's best friend. Active and young at heart. The goofiest of goobers." Australian shepherd The Australian shepherd has plenty of good qualities. Saddy said: "They're fluffy wiggle butts, bright and alert, very versatile." A lot of Australian shepherd owners refer to their pets as 'Aussholes" but when they're bred and trained correctly, they can make great companions. Irish Setter However, she believes these dogs are frequently underrated due to their significant grooming needs and a broad lack of public understanding about them. Irish wolfhound She said: "They're big couch potatoes, vigilant and loyal." She added that there's no cause for concern with them around, as their formidable size deters anyone from causing trouble.
