On her @notnutmeggyy account, she shared a video which has racked up 46,000 likes, of the dogs that have some off-putting drawbacks, in 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.

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 Wales.
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.'
