In the video, the vet said: “What breed of dog scares me?
“As a veterinary nurse, this answer is so simple for me.
“Is it a staff? Absolutely not. They’re just potatoes. They’re just cute and beautiful.
“German Shepherds, Rottweilers? No, absolutely not.”
The dog Eve picked as the worst was actually one of the best breeds in Britain: the Border Collie.
She is known for being super smart and fast and said these characteristics can also be a problem.
Eve said that unlike other dogs, the Border Collie is not afraid of her or other animals.
“They dug me up,” she added.
“They will literally come face to face with a cow.”
She said they were also way too smart and always ten steps before you and were often ‘unhinged’.
Not only that, she said their tolerance level can often be minimal – you get one warning lick before a bite is made.
Eve added: “I don’t treat any breed differently. I don’t really have any preferences, but if there was one breed that would make me more uncomfortable than the rest it would be Border Collies.”
Although she said many of them make her somewhat anxious, she said if you have a Nice on the one hand, they are the most beautiful dogs in the world.
The clip went viral on her TikTok account @eve_the_veterinary_nurse with over 525,000 views and 17,000 likes.
