In a short clip shared online, Jade penned: “I’m a vet nurse and these are five dog breeds that I LOVE, but would never own myself.”. First things first, the animal pro claimed that she would never own a Dalmatian, because “they are mad as a box of frogs and have far too much energy for my lifestyle”.

She also shared that a Border Collie isn’t for her and she wouldn’t want a Boxer, whom she described as 'crazy' and explained: "They’re just a bit too bouncy for me and often have health ailments”. Jade also isn’t overly keen on owning a St. Bernard, as she stated: “Just too big, too hairy AND too slobbery, but I think they are fantastic though!”.

And when it comes to Huskies, she simply shared: “Wayyyyyy too much energy”. Jade claimed that these five breeds are “either too energetic, too high maintenance or have too many health ailments”. But despite this, she beamed: “But I love their personalities”.
