I would have to say American bulldogs, I think they are so funny and I have two. I had a Lab for over 15yrs and she was such a great dog. The more I write I have to say I love all dogs, owners I sometimes have a problem with.

[vizslamomma]

My neighbor who does daycare has an American Eskimo. She's 3 years old, and very protective of the children in the home. While inside she pretty much ignores the kids, but perks up if she hears one crying. It looks like she wants to help. She's just the sweetest little thing.

I like the pointer breeds. GSH, Weimaraner, Vizsla- pretty much all. Weimers are a little cRaZy though...I had one,

[mark3274]

shetland sheepdog and american eskimo spitz.. what would be really cool is some esklands yup sheltie and eskie babies.

[suzyfountaine]

Well, I have to say there are four breeds that I LOVE. They all tie in my heart...1. German Shepards, 2. Shetland Sheep Dogs, 3. Golden Retrievers, 4. any Lab. They are all the best dogs ever!

irish setters.we have two old girls eilish and brenna.weve just rescued 2 cross terrier puppies though who are now part of the family.

I have to say any dog that is taller than your ankles is the way forward!! I have a siberian husky X lab and she is funny looking but in my eyes just gorgeous!! I also have a black lab ( a dog I never thought I would want) and she too is beautiful. She's black in colour and has really pointy features- meant to be pure bred but I'm not so sure... not that I care she's lovely!!
Other than that I have to say retrievers are probably my favourite!

Chow Chows!!! My Chow is sooooo wonderful! She's 11 and so sweet! They have bad raps and I'm here to say she's shown nothing but love & loyalty!

[y2jae21]

german dogs!!! - rottweilers, boxers, doberman pinschers, GSDs

[scotty,hmk]

I LOVE pomeranians. They are just too too too too adorabaly cute! I know some can be agressive, but that's the owners fault for treating them like queen(or king ) I like retrievers, collies, and cocker spanials. Well I love all animals though

[sweetardnas1885]

I love the Siberian Husky. They have such personality and they are simply beautiful. I love their mischevious ways. Next would be the dachshund. Then the German shepherd.

The Caucasian Ovcharka is a breed that I am extremely interested in. I have never been able to speak to someone who actually owned one. What can you tell me about the breed? Are they as protective as I've read? What are the pros and cons of having one?

I've had mixed breeds and pure breds at one time or another during my lifetime. For the past 10 years I've had German Shepherds. They are the best breed. They are smart (sometimes too smart), they are sensitive (hate being reprimanded - 'please don't yell at me mom!' 'I really didn't mean it ', very loveable - who can resist a 100 pound lap dog? But, when push comes to shove and I need backup - I would not want any other dog but a German Shepherd!

[Kuma'sMom]

For me it's Pugs, hands down. I used to hate toy breeds, and I'm still not a big fan of most of them, but I met two Pugs when I supervised a doggy daycare a year and a half ago, and I've been Pugged ever since! It's impossible to accurately describe their amazing personalities, but they are amazing little dogs! Truly a big dog in a little dog's body!

[GreyhoundGirl]

All sighthounds with the exception of Basenjis. Especially greys.

[katebeswick]

I absolutely love rottweilers! I just think they are so beautiful and since I don't like being home alone, I like a protector dog. Actually, when my husband and I originally got our German Shepherd, they told us that she was a Shepherd/Rottie mix. She's not but we wouldn't have her any other way!

[chewbecca]

American Pit bull Terrier.
Or basically any pit bull type. Such love bugs.
I couldn't trust a breed more with my children than I would trust a pit bull.
I just absolutely adore them!

[pup_at_heart]

Probably for me, toy poodles, keeshonds, and Dalmations.

Poms and Huskies (I think) are the most attractive dogs but from experience don't have the best dispositions.

I just got a Golden/Eskimo mix puppy and he has a very calm temperment so far. I had a yellow Lab and he was great too! I'd love to have one of each larger breed, but who has the room for that!

i agree there are too many dog breeds to choose one fav. i luv our german shepherd mix tho shes so smart honestly she crawls

[Mdawn]

I love all dogs. However, I prefer larger dogs over the small breeds. Dan, my Basset is the smallest dog I've ever had. I also have a Black Lab and a English Mastiff. The kind of dog I hope to get next is a Siberian Husky.

[BeagleJason]

If the name hasn't given it away already, I love Beagles.

[allieg]

I'd have to say beagles are my favorite but I also like golden retrievers.
