A veterinary technician has gone viral for sharing the dog breeds she would never own, and listing the reasons why.

Vet tech Connie, who asked to be referred to by her first name only, regularly shares animal content to her TikTok page @conniespinz.

And having come across dogs of all sizes, natures and breeds since starting her job in 2020, she's come to have some favorites—and some not-so-favorites.

The 23-year-old, from Maryland, told Newsweek she saw a similar video about dog breeds someone wouldn't personally own, and thought "based off of my experiences and lifestyle", it would be "funny to share the real, raw reasons" for her own choices.

She added, however, that "my opinions are not a personal attack to anyone's dog", and acknowledged pets will behave differently in a stressful environment like an animal hospital.

"I've had plenty of wonderful experiences with every single breed I mentioned, and would never say all dogs of any given breed are 'bad' for lack of a better term," she said.

In her video, Connie reiterated that she is "not personally attacking you or your dog," before launching in with the first breed: goldendoodles.

Beloved by dog owners, she said the popular golden retriever poodle crosses were often "crazy neurotic psychopaths" who seemed to always have ear infections.

The rest of the video saw her take aim at other popular breeds, including Samoyeds, whose "hair routine is more extensive than my own," shiba inus and beagles who are always "screaming" and great danes who are "so scared of everything".

Her reasons varied from medical needs—French bulldogs being prone to breathing issues, for instance—to personal choice, like Newfoundlands drooling on her, and basset hounds having the "personality of a fork".

Miniature poodles, corgis, German shepherds, pugs, west highland terriers, huskies and chow-chows completed the 15-strong list.

Connie's video, shared on July 20, has reached over 800,000 likes and 11.6 million views, with thousands sharing comments, including one user delighted her Chihuahua wasn't "on the naughty list".

Another wrote: "I have a blue heeler and he is a demon. I am surprised that breed did not make the list."

"How are yorkies never on these lists my yorkie is so dominating, possessive and dramatic, love her though," another said.

Connie said much of the reaction to her video has been positive, including the veterinary community agreeing with her, and owners agreeing with their own pets' "quirky traits".

But some hit out, one stating she must "hate all dogs", another telling Connie they hope she never sees another animal patient again, the vet tech told Newsweek.

She said those in the veterinary industry are unfortunately often subject to verbal abuse from pet owners, and such comments "can be incredibly hurtful, on top of an already mentally and physically taxing job".

Connie, who has since shared another video revealing the dog breeds she definitely would own, urged anyone who has had a positive experience with a vet or technician to show them this appreciation, from a positive review to a thank you card, saying it "really keeps us going".

"At the end of the day, saving animals is my calling in life, not having an influencer status," she said of her video going viral.

"Sure the 15 minutes of fame is interesting, but the strong, meaningful bonds I've created by taking care of someone's beloved pet as if they were my own, is all I could ask for, and proves that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be."
