A DOG groomer has shared the top breeds she wouldn’t own and the various reasons why.
She said there were animals with skin issues and there was one that is “very high maintenance.”
Content creator Millywuhoo (@millywuhoo) enjoys all things lifestyle-related from silly moments in her life to motherhood to her job.
She works as a professional dog groomer and has picked up some interesting details from her occupation over the last few years.
In a TikTok video, she revealed the top five breeds that she wouldn’t own based on her experience.
The first breed she mentioned were dalmatians because they need “lots and lots of exercise” and have “unpredictable moods.
Next on her list was the cocker spaniel because they constantly get ear infections and have “a lot of skin issues”.
She followed that with the third pet, which was a bulldog, that also have a lot of skin and ear issues.
According to the content creator, they are prone to even more skin issues due to backyard breeding.
The penultimate dog on the list was a Goldendoodle.
“Very very high maintenance dogs. They need lots of brushing every day, and they need to be groomed at least once a week,” she said.
She added that since they’re so overbred owners are not sure what they’re getting personality-wise with their pets.
“Don’t let the cuteness fool you,” she mentioned.
Her final choice was the chow chow.
“They’re sweet. They’re calm. But when they’re mean, they are mean,” she said toward the end of the video.
“Did you guys expect this list?” she asked in the video’s caption.
Many people offered their two cents in the comment section of the video.
“I have a goldendoodle and I will probably never own another. Love her but soooooooo hyper, constant ear infections, can’t eat chicken and the list on,” a viewer shared.
“Awee I love my chow chow but…yes stubborn sometimes,” another chimed in.
“Number one after being a groomer for 35 years. If I connect with the dog whatever breed it is, I’ll keep it and love it,” a fan wrote.
“I will agree with this with being a groomer myself… sheepadoodles..bernadoodle and lastly a saintberdoodle. all fools for grooming,” another added.

Long before Final Fantasy 14 swept over the MMO landscape, there was 2002’s Final Fantasy 11 Online. I wasn’t really away that Final Fantasy 11 was still running, but the MMO has been chugging along quietly for a few years – its last expansion having arrived in 2013. After 20 years of support, however, Square Enix is putting Final Fantasy 11 in maintenance mode, meaning servers will stay up and it’ll remain playable, but with limited support.
LONGLEAT’S owner and his Strictly Come Dancing star wife are being sued by a widow who claims her husband died from asbestos exposure on the estate.
Allan Keyse, 84, died from mesothelioma, an incurable lung tissue cancer, in 2019.
His family say the former estate worker was exposed to asbestos when he worked for the late eccentric Alexander Thynn, 7th Marquess of Bath.
Allan’s widow Sally Keyse, 80, is now suing Alexander’s son Lore Ceawlin Thynn – married to Strictly star Emma Thynn – for £200,000.
Viscountess Emma Weymouth appeared on the 2019 series of the hit BBC dance show.
Allan worked for Lord Bath from 1961-1970 at Longleat, in Wiltshire, refurbishing and maintaining the main house, MailOnline reports.
He also carried out work on old cottages that contained asbestos and was exposed to more of the killer compound when he installed an entire asbestos barn roof, the High Court claim says.
Sally says Allan was regularly covered in asbestos dust up until 1966 due to work that also involved knocking down buildings and disposing of the naturally occurring carcinogenic fibrous material.
The family allege he did all this without any safety equipment or warnings of asbestos’s dangers, the court will hear.
In his last two years of work at the famous safari park, Allan worked in the main house away from asbestos but was still exposed to it at the park, documents claim.
Allan first noticed symptoms of mesothelioma in 2018 when he became breathless walking up slopes on holiday.
Back pain followed and he was diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma in February 2019 that saw doctors drain fluid from his lung.
But Allan was not well enough for chemotherapy and needed morphine to control his pain – he died on August 7, 2019.
Sally accuses the Marquess of Bath, and his later employers Whitley Marketing Services, of negligently exposing him to asbestos and not providing him with proper safety kit.
It is understood that the marquess will be defending the claim and a defence will be filed at court shortly.

MOTORISTS are falling for five car maintenance myths that could cost them money, experts have said.
Brits often think these five misconceptions are the right way to run your motor – but in reality they could damage your car.
Stick to the facts and not myths to keep your car going, say experts[/caption]
According to expert Johnny Pretorius the amount of conflicting advice means it’s hard to know what’s best for your car.
“Keeping your car in good working order throughout its lifetime depends on good car maintenance.
“However, there are lots of car maintenance tips that might have made sense years ago, but new advancements in automotive technology have made these tips irrelevant.”
Here’s the five myths as compiled by car experts Motor Happy.
Oil changes at the 3,000 mile point is not a hard and fast rule and it’s better to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
So it’s always advisable to check the owner’s manual rather than listening to outdated myths.
Many motorists think that the number on the tyre’s sidewall is the recommended air pressure, says Motor Happy pros.
But in reality, that’s the pressure the tyre will be able to hold safely.
So it’s best to make sure to check the recommended tyre pressure for your vehicle.
That can usually be found a sticker on the driver-side door, in the glove box, or on the fuel-filler door.
A wrongly inflated tyre can significantly affect the handling, braking, and overall wear.
Everyone thinks that running the engine for a few minutes is the best way to start up your car.
While that might have been true for most vehicles built before 1995, modern engines now warm up and cool down a lot quicker.
Nowadays the best way to warm up your car is to start driving gently.
Unfortunately dishwashing or laundry detergent are designed to flush grease off which means they can also strip the car’s paint.
If you use them on your car, you might remove the protective wax on the vehicle.
So you’re advised to stick with car washing liquids even if it means paying a little bit extra.
If your car doesn’t require premium petrol then you can just fill it up with regular fuel.
In fact, the US Federal Trade Commission said in most cases, using a higher-octane gasoline than your owner’s manual recommends offers absolutely no benefit.
When it comes to driving, others have pointed to five basic mistakes that could be damaging our car.
How you drive over speed bumps, what gear you use in town and even where you rest your hand could all help keep your car going
If you’re like many of us here at MacRumors, you have a lot of cruft in the form of photos that need to be cleaned up, old apps to be deleted, contacts to clear out, and more, so we thought we’d round up some useful suggestions on iPhone organization and optimization that can save space and make your device feel less cluttered.
I bought a house this year, and I have about a thousand photos of peeling paint on the ceiling, marks on the floor, downed trees, efflorescence in the crawl space, rain gutters overflowing, and dozens of other little home issues that one photographs. If you’re in the same situation, now’s a good time to organize those images into albums, pull them off of the iPhone into a dedicated album on your Mac or other device, or delete them.
On iPhone, just open up the Photos app, select everything that’s unnecessary, and add it to an album with the Share Sheet or delete it. You can also move it over to something like the Files app to keep a copy that doesn’t clutter your Photos app, which is what I’m going to do.
iOS 16 added a handy feature for merging contacts if you have duplicates. Just open up the Contacts app and it will let you know right at the top if there are duplicates, which can be merged with a tap.
If you have old contacts you no longer talk with, this is also a good time to go through and delete anything that’s irrelevant to clean up your Contacts list.
Apple gives you a bunch of ways to get rid of apps you’re no longer using, but perhaps the most efficient way is to simply open up the Settings app, go to General, and choose iPhone Storage. From there, you can see what’s taking up a lot of room and you can get rid of what you’re no longer using to save both Home Screen space on your iPhone and storage space.
Old iMessages, especially those with a lot of images, can take up a surprising amount of space. While you’re deleting apps, check out Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Messages to see what’s eating up the most space in the app. From there, tap into a category like photos or videos to delete old content.
Note that it can take some time to load your photos and videos.
While going through photos, messages, and unused apps, it’s probably also a good idea to clear out old Notes and Reminders from those apps, respectively.
I’m not good at keeping on top of Notes in particular, and it can get cluttered with content that I no longer need. It’s not a big deal, but it feels refreshing to empty it out every now and then. Deleting notes is as simple as opening up the Notes app and swiping to the left, and the same is true of Reminders.
Over the course of the year, it’s easy to download apps, forget about them, and brush off the excess notifications you start receiving that you don’t really need. Deleting apps solves the problem, but you may have apps you want to keep that you don’t need notifications from.
In Settings > Notifications, you can manage all of your apps, deciding which can send notifications and which can’t. Clearing out notifications can lead to less distraction, and it’s also useful to add apps to App Summary so you only hear from them once a day.
It’s a good idea to look in on your battery usage every now and then so you can see what apps are eating battery life and where you’re spending your time to see if there are areas where changes can be made.
Under Settings > Battery you can see the last 24 hours and the last 10 days of app usage, with a breakdown of which apps used the most battery life. It lets you know if battery was drained through active use or background activity, which can be helpful if you’re looking to maximize battery.
If you have apps like Photos or Weather that are updating in the background when you don’t really need them to, you can turn off background updates. Go to General > Background App Refresh to toggle on background refresh on a per app basis.
There are plenty more management categories you can delve into, with some suggestions for organization and updating below.

Back in July, Samsung began testing a new privacy feature on Galaxy S21 phones in Korea. Dubbed Maintenance Mode, the tool allowed users to secure their personal information – including photos, messages and contacts – when sending their device in for repair. Now Samsung says the feature is ready for primetime.
Starting today, the company has begun rolling out Maintenance Mode to Galaxy devices with One UI 5 installed. Broader availability will follow in 2023. In other words, Galaxy S22 users will receive access to the feature first.
Once Maintenance Mode arrives on your phone, you’ll find the option to enable it within the “Battery and device care” section of the Settings menu. It will create a separate account on your phone for a technician to use while working on your device. In addition to protecting your personal information, Maintenance Mode prevents a technician from seeing what apps you have installed. They can use the Galaxy Store to download any diagnostic software they need, but once they’re done, your phone will automatically wipe any new data and apps. When your phone is back in your possession, you can disable Maintenance Mode by authenticating your identity.
