Dr Terrell said while some poodle-cross dogs are 'super sweet', they 'can't sit still' and are prone to a string of health conditions.

'A lot of them are crazy, crazy hyper, can't sit still for two seconds. We've had some really aggressive ones as well,' she said.

'Ear infections out the wazoo, so expensive grooming, they are mixed breed. Too high maintenance for me.'

Ear infections out the wazoo, so expensive grooming, they are mixed breed. Too high maintenance for me.'

2. German shepherd and Belgian malinois

'They have the potential to be really great dogs, good police dogs, good rescue types scenarios but 95 per cent of the ones that we see in clinic want to bite your face off because they're not properly trained.

I know I would not be able to properly train them because I have no time. If you're thinking about getting one of these dogs, don't do it lightly because they need lots of training, lots of attention.'

3. Brachycephalic or short-snouted dogs like French bulldogs, pugs, Boston terriers and shih tzus

4. Chihuahua

'Not my cup of tea: afraid I'm going to step on them, will more than likely be bit if I had one, they're usually a one person dog.

We've got a few that are super sweet, the rest of them are ankle biters.'

5. Chinese crested and hairless dogs

'The dogs are fine, I don't like hairless animals. They zitty, they're kind of greasy, same with cats. It's a no from me.'

Coming in at number two on Dr Terrell's list was a German shepherd or Belgian malinois she said can be aggressive if not trained properly.

'FACTS. Sorry doodle owners, your dogs are NOT the best dogs,' a second asserted.

In a follow up clip, Dr Terrell shared the top five dog breeds she would get with the basset hound or any type of hound coming in at number one.

Dr Terrell owns a basset hound herself and said despite being 'smelly, loud and have ear, back and weight problems' they are the 'best' pets.

'I love them they're so sweet. Mine is the best dog ever he comes to work with me every day,' she said.

She also recommended getting a mixed-breed or mutt dog as they have fewer underlying health issues as well as golden retrievers as their calm temperament makes them a great family pet.

Veterinarian Dr Terrell's top five favourite dog breeds

1. Basset Hound and any kind of hound

'They're smelly, they have a really deep loud bark, they can have ear, back, weight problems.

They can sometimes be a little crotchety at the vet but I love them, they're so sweet. Mine is the best dog ever he comes to work with me every day.'

2. Mutt/mixed breed/strays

'For number two, I don't have a picture because it is a mutt, they can look like anything. They are fantastic dogs.

They usually don't have as many genetic or hereditary problems like pure breeds do. They are thankful they have a home. Highly recommend a mutt.'

3. Golden retriever

'Love this breed, they are so beautiful, so kind great family dog, this is a good first dog, especially for families. Good temperament, easy to train, love them.'

4. German shorthair pointer

'These are beautiful super athletic happy dogs. I honestly can't think of one I have seen that was not happy.

Definitely high energy though, you do not want to own these if you are sedentary, if you do not like adventure, if you do not like taking them for walks every day.

These are athletic dogs, they need to be exercised or they will destroy stuff. Love them, great dogs beautiful dogs.'

5. Great Pyrenees

'They don't necessarily do great at the vet typically because they are herding dogs. They are out there with the goats, sheep, farm animals, if they're actually doing a job so a lot of them aren't used to being inside or around people.

They're not necessarily the best at the vet but I love them I've had several, they've been the best dogs, I love them so much.'
