On her
opinion
.
She added that her list is from her 'personal experience' and not every single dog from that breed shows the negative traits.
The first up was an English bulldog, which, although it can be adorable, was one to avoid due to being 'stinky' and 'so unhealthy'.
She added that the one had even tried to attack her recently which was another strike against the breed.
More on dogs
French bulldogs were also on her banned list for being 'unhealthy' and 'overbred.'
Next
up was a German Shepherd, who made the list due to their 'crazy anxiety'.
She added that she would not be able to keep up with their
energy
and she would only consider getting a senior one.
Fourthly, was a Chow Chow, as she said they aren't great with anyone other than their owner.

On a side note, she said their 'purple' tongues 'freak' her out.
Pugs also made the list for 'not being healthy', barking too much, 'farting' too much and shedding.

Foxhounds were also a no-go, although she said she loves them other than the fact they are 'too loud.'
Pitbulls, staffies and bullies also made the list as "aggression" is in their genes.
In the UK, it is against the
law
to own certain types of dogs, including the Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, and Fila Brasileiro.
Additionally, XL Bully dogs are banned in
England
and

The top 10 dog breeds the professional would never own
MAY, who posts under @notnutmeggyy, and who has worked at a doggy daycare for eight years, shared 10 breeds that she would not own...
English Bulldog
French Bulldog
German Shepherd
Chow Chow
Pug
Foxhound
Pitbull, Staffordshire Bull Terrier (Staffie), Bully
Pomeranian
Husky
Jack Russell Terrier
It is also illegal to sell, abandon, give away, or breed from any of these banned dogs.
May added that pitbulls are nearly always on Apoquel or anxiety medication, and also have allergies.
The next dog on her list was a Pomeranian as they can be 'aggressive' and 'way too loud.'

Another gripe she had was how much grooming they require.
Dog number nine was a husky as they are 'loud af', she doesn't live in a cold climate and 'shedding goes crazy.'
Finally, she recommended people don't buy Jack Russells as she's encountered so many "aggressive" ones and also she 'doesn't want to play fetch 24/7.'
While many people agreed with her selection, the list also ruffled a few feathers with dog owners.
One said: 'As I sit here on the couch with my 3 pitties who have zero allergies and no aggressive tendencies.'
Another added: 'I won't tolerate English bulldog slander! They're wonderful dogs.'
And a third commented: 'Worth noting that the majority of these qualities aren't found in well-bred versions of these dogs.'

X Factor's Diana Vickers on invite to ‘party' at Leo DiCaprio's house & her bizarre theory on his dating ‘system'

Diana thinks Titanic actor Leo has a 'system' and she revealed what it is Di & DiCaprio X Factor's Diana Vickers on invite to 'party' at Leo DiCaprio's house & her bizarre theory on his dating 'system' X FACTOR star Diana Vickers has revealed that she was invited to 'party' at Leonardp DiCaprio's house, as she discussed her bizarre theory on his dating 'system.' Singer Diana Vickers, 34, was advising a caller on dealing with large age gaps in relationships when Titanic actor Leo was brought into conversation. 4 Diana Vickers thinks Titanic actor Leo has a 'system' and she revealed what it is Credit: Splash 4 Leonardo Dicaprio and Diana watched TV together at what she thought was going to be a party Credit: Getty Diana co-hosts a new Metro podcast named Just Between Us, alongside sex columnist Alice Giddings. She said: 'I did meet Leo once. He will have no memory of meeting me. One of his mates invited me around to his house. 'I thought it was going to be a party. Then I ended up just sitting with him watching telly.' Diana called it a 'really, really bizarre moment.' She then shared her theory on his dating 'system,' continuing: 'I think he has this system. 'So, Leo's obviously at the helm of it – and he surrounds himself with these good-looking lads, who are all looking for a good time. 'The good-looking lads go and source these hot women for him – it's really dodgy. 'That stuff happens a lot in Hollywood. These men have got so much fame and power, and they don't want to grow up.' She added: 'They just want to be surrounded by beautiful young women all the time. I am not generalising Leo here, I think that's just what happens. It's quite weird actually.' Fans convinced Leonardo DiCaprio was 'flirting' with two former Wimbledon stars at Centre Court During the chat, Diana revealed that she'd dated men older and younger than her. She said: 'One of the last guys I dated was five years younger than me – I did feel it. It was why we didn't work out. 'When you're older, you want to put in the graft – you want to see things through. You don't dwell on smaller things as much. 'This guy just gave off immature energy – he was constantly holding on to things. I think I maybe acted immature because he was less mature. 'It made me feel less of my older, feminine energy. I sort of reverted back. It was a lot of fun though.' And according to a relationship expert, men like Leo tend to go for age gaps because it makes them feel younger — but that's not the only reason. Lovehoney's sex and relationship expert, Annabelle Knight, is a bestselling author and a celebrity relationship coach. Last year, she spoke to The U.S. Sun, she broke down why men in their 50s and beyond sometimes prefer dating women around half their age. "High-profile men have been dating younger women for decades," she said. More and more are coming forward with younger and younger girlfriends, like former New England Patriots general manager Bill Belichick, 72, who recently went public with Jordan Hudson, 24. 'This has always been a trend in Tinseltown," Knight said. "Look back at any decade in the past and you'll be able to think of a couple with a big age gap — whether it's Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, or Frank Sinatra with Mia Farrow," she added. The "prevalence of these relationships in Hollywood" may be down to the rules "feeling slightly different" there. She added that many societal pressures may influence some men's preference towards younger women, especially in Hollywood. She said it "could be easier not to feel as constrained by societal norms as the average person does.' Leo's oldest partner was model Gigi Hadid, 27, in 2022. His longest relationships have been five years with model Gisele Bundchen, five with model Bar Refaeli and four with actress Camila Morrone — all of whom were ditched aged 25. Others were actresses and models Erin Heatherton aged 22, Kelly Rohrbach, 25, Toni Garrn, 21 and Nina Agdal, 25. Vittoria Ceretti is the actor's current partner. 4 During the chat, Diana revealed that she'd dated men older and younger than her Credit: Instagram

Strictly's Chris Robshaw hires 24/7 security after terrifying stalker left wife Camilla ‘scared to leave the house'

STRICTLY Come Dancing star Chris Robshaw has been forced to hire 24/7 security amid his terrifying stalker ordeal. The rugby ace has taken extra precautions after wife Camilla Kerslake was left 'too scared' to leave the house. 4 Chris Robshaw has hired 24/7 security amid his stalker ordeal Credit: Getty 4 A female stalker has targeted the rugby ace and his family Credit: Alamy 4 It has left his wife 'too scared' to leave the house Credit: Paul Edwards Chris, 39, is taking no chances when it comes to he and his family's safety after it was revealed he was being harassed by a female stalker. He has implemented a top security arrangement to put his wife of seven years' mind at ease after she was left frightened in the wake of the incident. A source close to the pair told the Mail Online: "Particularly when [Camilla] was post-partum, she was petrified she wouldn't be able to outrun this individual. "Normally she's unbreakable, the backbone of the family, but this has reduced her to a shell of the strong woman we all know. For Chris, watching this has been heartbreaking. "They have invested in top-of-the-range security systems to keep the family safe." The duo share children Wilding, five, and 18-month-old Hunter together. The Sun were the first to reveal the heartache surrounding Chris and his family after the stalker incident left him debating whether to pull out of the BBC dance contest before it had begun. Pals close to the England rugby legend said he had been targeted by the woman after briefly meeting her twice during work events last year, with the initial abuse starting six months after meeting him. He called in police after the woman threatened him with violence and spread false allegations about him and other people he worked with. The woman, who The Sun is not naming, now appears on the National Police Wanted List. England rugby legend lined up for Strictly – and pairing with show's sexiest dancer She is understood to have left the country and is being sought by cops. With the scary incident still looming, a further source told the Mail how Camilla had asked Chris to upgrade the security detail on their leafy Surrey mansion as opposed to buying her birthday gifts. They said: "They've talked about the idea of a security guard dog because they love their animals but also Camilla especially, would feel more protected. "It's heartbreaking that it's come to this but that's how seriously they are taking it. "This stalker business is no joke. She's destroyed the lives of small business owners, families, and left others thousands of pounds out of pocket. "The claims she makes are sickening, and some of her victims have been left struggling mentally after their ordeal." Chris, who retired from professional rugby in 2022, was announced as a contestant last week. Those close to him revealed his ordeal started last July when he attended the same event as the woman. She went on to make a series of disturbing and damning allegations about Chris and his wife Camilla, 39, as well as other people she worked with. A source said: 'It's been absolutely terrible for Chris and Camilla. 'He met this woman twice, very briefly, during work events and then she started telling all sorts of awful lies about him. 'He was never alone with her and they barely spoke so he's got no idea why she targeted him."
