Vet goes viral after revealing the best and worst dog breed

No matter how bad you feel, the basset hound always looks like he feels worse.

Pyrenees is not a herding dog. They are livestock guardians. Important distinction

I’m so glad we are seeing more videos like this.
Too many people just don’t have any idea what kind of a commitment it takes to care for ANY dog or animal.
Thanks for bringing more awareness on this subject!

I’m a vet who’s been in practice for 34 years and I agree 100% with your “would not own” list. My “would own” is quite different except for the Mutt. Mutts are the best!

4:35 This vet chose a clearly overbred dog breed as her first choice. Look at it. This breed is second worst to the Bulldog. It least the Basset Hound doesn't have a pushed-in nose, but it's probably tied for mobility issues. Both can be pictured being pulled around in a wagon because they're too lazy/deformed/sick to pick themselves up. Look at those eyes! My grandpa had eyes like that years before he died. Thankfully, his cheeks didn't sink this low.

I have 2 bassets and they act like they are friends with everyone. Absolutely most affectionate dogs I ever owned.

My GSD is the best dog, when she was younger her bark alone would fend off would be intruders. However, she never ever tried to bite her vet or anyone who came to visit the house. She was more aloof to strangers than she was aggressive. I say “was” because she is now 14 and simply spends most her days sleeping… she is old and now we owe it back to her to take tender loving care of her in her final years. Best dog ever.

All of the dogs in my life were strays. They were all amazing loyal loving dogs.

We adopted a German Shedder last October from the local humane society. He was so grateful to become a member of the family and he is incessantly loyal and watchful. Best investment was to hire a trainer and he responded to the training immediately. The trainer taught us how to communicate with him and he is so smart and eager to serve. He's a bit intense, but is an ultimately faithful companion for the teenage boy. I'm really happy that "Chewie" caught my eye and decided to adopt us. 6 months later taking in a foster boxer/pit mix was a perfect addition for the need for more intense exercise has been a lot of fun and now I'm a foster failure to "Vader"

I have had Bassets for over 30 years and blessed the world with over 100 puppies. My bassets Joseph and Mary are on top of me now. Thank you for your time.

My friend had a hairless crested dog and the veterinarian wanted her to put it down because something was causing the puppy to act older than he was.
Come to find out, the baby just needed dental work. They completely dismissed the importance of her connection to her companion, and to this day, we still reflect on how the vets almost killed her dog; in his prime.

When she said ankle biter I said “yes that’s my chihuahua” lol forever biting my ankles 🤣🤣🤣

[phillipdavies]

Properly trained and given sufficient daily exercise the GSD and Belgian Malinois are by far the best dogs imo.
They're loyal, totally devoted, highly intelligent and will defend you and your family without any hesitation. They're great dogs for active people and properly cared for have a potential lifespan up to 16 years old. They do require an experienced and responsible owner to ensure they are trained properly.

We adopted a Basset two years ago. Mister Baggins is stinky and a big food thief but we love that dog. Sweet animal.

Me and my family also had a GSD, I was so young when we got him, so he basically grew up with me and he was never aggressive with anyone. He was a really nice dog and lived for 14 years!

The only one I disagree with is the German Shepherd. I have grown up with them I have spent the past 22 years of my life rescuing them.
She is right about training. I've never seen an aggression problem from improper training. What you normally get is 100 pounds that won't listen to you and we'll do whatever it wants.

I have two sons in both of them are great handlers of German shepherds. When they were young we had four family German shepherds and sometimes three or four Foster German shepherds. Not one time did I ever worry that they would hurt my children. My wife about the same way. Each one of them when it was time to go to bed would have one or two of the family shepherds in their bedroom. The ones that did not sleep in the kids bedroom slept in my wife and I bedroom.

There's a reason why there's so many different breeds. Not one fits everybody and there's a good chance that if you are particular you should be able to find the best dog suit your needs.

Also German shepherds are silly. Once they get started playing I don't want to stop. They remind me of children.
Like I said I know there are some bad ones out there. In most cases it's the owner who made them that way. So if you really want one find yourself one set already trained or find yourself a good trainer. I don't need to put down PetSmart or Petco there training is nowhere near what it was 20 years ago.

Where’s my Jack Russell Terror (terrier)?
They’re usually in the top or bottom of these lists….

[barbsmith]

Everyone has their own opinion. I’ve had several different breeds in my life, my favourite is the GSD, smart, loyal, easy to train. But they need to run, a walk is not going to cut it. I currently have a golden retriever who is smart, happy, friendly but very very hairy. I also had a golden doodle who was loving, smart, easy to train and loyal but very expensive to get trimmed every 6 weeks.

[CarolineIronwill]

I am a beagle fan. They have such lovely personalities, but they can be stubborn to train. They require very little grooming, and are snuggle monsters. And NOTHING in this world is cuter than watching a baby beagle learn to howl for the first time. Ah! cuteness overload!

My chihuahua Sarge was literally the best dog in the world, and I'm not just saying that. Anyone who has met him said he was awsome! He was down for anything. He went kayaking with us, rode the ferry to Martha's Vineyard. Even went to the top of Mt Washington! We miss him!
