We all know that certain dog breeds have certain characteristics. Through centuries of hoomanity playing in god mode, dog breeders have done a pretty gorsh darn good job of widdling the doggo genetic code into exactly the shape that we dog lovers want. Want a dog that's masculine, tiny, and has a crushed little face? French bulldog. Do you want a dog that's the size of a horse? Great Dane. Do you want a doggo that's pocket-sized, lives longer than you, and is always trembling? Mini poodle.

Despite the idiosyncrasies that a lot of us witness with our own doggos, whether they're a mutt or a pure breed, there are some things we always wanna see in our fur babies. We want them to be loyal, polite, and well-mannered, and we want them to wag their tails and have a fantastic, healthy life.

Well, apparently one veterinarian has the secret sauce to solve all of our dog breed problems and she isn't afraid to share exactly which breeds she'll be avoiding for the rest of her life (and why). So scroll onward to enlighten yourself with the sage wisdom of a doggie professional who knows best when it comes to pups and their genetic code.
