What is your favorite dog breed?

MuffinsMom · 11-25-2007, 12:59 AM

I love all dog breeds. I don't think I could really pick a favorite. Right now I really love labs and english bulldogs but that changes daily.

I have so many breeds that I absolutely love... my first love is the lab though... grew up with one and my husband and I had a lab for our first 9 years of marriage... I get excited when I get to groom a lab at school... nothing but good experiences with labs... next I would have to say I love Newfoundlands but... huge responsiblity, the responsibility is so big with the 2 newfoundlands that I have right now that I find that it takes away from the fun and quality time, if that makes any sense.... there undercoat becomes seriouse matting if I am not on top of it constantly so that becomes prioraty over any thing else really and it's exhausting... Next I would say is Party pom... I absolutely love them and there funny nature but can be pretty stuborn too,

GREAT DANES are my favorite breed , they are called GENTLE GIANTS. my theory is theres more dog to love, but dont get me wrong. i love all dogs

My fav is the shar-pei's.

Next choice if I could not have a pei is an english bulldog.

Personally, I love GSD's...
But to be fair and rate the breeds I'm most likely to buy or adopt, they would be, in no particular order:
1.GSD
2.Weimaraner
3. Bullmastiff
4. APBT
5. Great Dane

After the basset hound I have now...I'll never get another one...he has really turned me off on the entire breed.

FriendsOfZoe · 01-02-2008, 12:04 PM

I've probably already responded to this, but oh well...
1) Golden Retrievers (especially the Zoe-ster, of course)
2) Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers
3) probably a tie between English Setters and Border Collies

Heh, over the years I have learned that the Basset is one of those breeds you either love to death or don't really care for. There isn't much of an in between.

I have a 3 yr old Bull Mastiff/ Boxer mix named Morgan. She's the most lovable dog I've ever had. Then we just rescued a German Shepherd named Harley. He's still warming up to us but he sleeps right up next to me. He's about 6 months. I'd have to say my fav. breed would be Chihuahuas. I've rescued 4 in the past couple years, Lou-pey, Baby, Doby and the latest Ginger. Most chihuauhas are known for being ankle biters but if you baby them just right they're the most lovable, playful and loyal dogs.

My abousolute favorite breed is the Afghan Hound, second to that would be the Cavalier.

Mudra · 01-02-2008, 02:56 PM

I love mutts! But I wouldn't mind having an ENGLISH MASTIFF.

AkiraleShiba · 01-02-2008, 02:58 PM

Pharaoh Hound ... I just wish I could have one but it's way to cold here for this breed ... maybe if we move to France we'll get one

BEAGLES BEAGLES BEAGLES!!!!!

I don't know why, but I am obsessed with them. When I was like 12 my brother got me the Shiloh movie and ever since they I had always wanted a beagle. I now have 2, Bailey and Kody, and they are like my kids!

I also love German Shepherds, ever since I rescued Chance and saved his life from parvo, he has won a spot in my heart forever. And he is so smart he knew sit and stay by like 10 weeks! hes great.

And of course, I'm partial to mutts too!

Other breeds I love but don't own:

border collies
shelties
cavalier king charles (the black tan and white ones)
pomeranians
american eskimo (the smaller ones)
doberman.

I'm not partial to big or little dogs, I love the qualities of both. I like being able to hold a dog on my lap, and I like being protected by a big one.

German Shepherds are my very favorite breed. They have been my favorite as far back as I can remember. When I was 2 my mom rescued her first German Shepherd from the pound (though she had 2 Shep. mixes when she was a child) and we bonded so quickly it was amazing. When I was about 7 or 8 she started breeding GSD's (obviously not the pound dog, lol). When I was 9 one of the pups from her female's litter and I really bonded, we did everything together. She gave her to me as a Christmas gift. Chianti and I were inseparable. When I was 16 she was diagnosed with an agressive form of cancer and had to be put down. I sobbed for weeks and refused to come out of my room or go to school.

Shepherds have always been, and probably will always be, my very favorite breed. I must say, Dobermans hold a very close second! Beyond that, there are lots of other breeds that I like, but GSD's hold the key to my heart!

I know LOTS of greyhounds that live in Montreal...just get 'em a coat and they're fine with cold weather. Pharaohs aren't too much difference in terms of cold intolerance.

I'm kind of surprised that there have been so few people that have mentioned collies... I have completely lost my heart to my rough boy, Toby. My smoothie is also a great dog. I'd get collies again in a minute.

But I also like German Shepherds, Aussies, corgies and most of the herding group.

I've never met, but I'm interested in Kuvacz and Beaucerons.

swanshey1 · 01-04-2008, 12:06 AM

Pembroke Welsh corgies are definitely my favorite. They are so cute.

Spicy1_VV · 01-04-2008, 12:21 AM

American Pit Bull Terrier is my favorite. There are several others that I like but none quite match up. Boerboel, Cane Corso, Belgian Shepherd and Boxer are the others. Some I also find interesting are Alano Espanol, Dogo Argentino, Dutch Shepherd and Beauceron.

If you love Boxers, check out this and this.
