    Give me a Pit any day! I have a Black Lab mix and a Pit/Boxer mix! The pit is the most affectionate dog we've ever owned. :)

    I second this!!! I have a female pit and a male pit/lab mix. My female is 82 pounds of goofiness and my male is 70 pounds of beautiful. Just imagine the pit build with a little more fur. He's gorgeous...all white.

    They are the most silliest, smart and goofy dogs I've ever owned. The only downside, they think they are 3 pound lab dogs instead of 70+ pound monsters...LOL

    Right now, it's pomeranians :) He's what I have right now so I have to be biased. I love him because he's very opiniated, rotten and smart. he's just too cute and knows it.

    I love boxers because my baby is a 3 year old boxer, but I also love beagles my parents just lost their beagle and she was a wonderful dog both have been great with my kids and good protectors plus they are not barkers just on the occasion.

    GSD! German Shepherd, shutzhund bred-nonconforming rejects. Their hearts are not diminished.

    They have great physical structure (so no hip dyplasia, etc)--but rejects may be to small or too big for acceptable standards or have a coat that is too long. They are very trainable--but rejects may be gun shy--and hence not a fan of 4th July fireworks.

    Best of All, i am in love with the way GSDs look at their families; they so much want to be a warm fuzzy part of the whole household (other pets included), your neighborhood--however large your intimate circle extends.

    Six pages and just one vote for Shelties! Blasphemy!

    But seriously, my family has had Chihuahua, Bichons, and Mutts, but none of them have come close to the Sheltie I own now. She runs with me, takes me for two hour walks, helps me garden, plays soccer with me, fetches me my socks in the morning. They are so trainable! She knows about fifteen tricks, and she's not clingy or distant. It's a wonderful breed.

    I'd also like to get an Airedale Terrier sometime in the nearer future.

    For me to choose a favorite dog breed is like having to choose my favorite flavor of ice cream. I love them all.

    I've owned, lab, poodle, dalmatian, cocker spaniel lab mix, border collies.

    My current dog is a husky, border collie, wheaten terrier mix. His name is Boo and he's 100lbs of love.

    I'm not sure if they are my favorite breed, but my favorite two dogs in the world (living) are my two chihuahuas. They are a good fit for me because they are tiny and easy to handle. So no backyard needed and very easy to bathe.

    They are the cutest and the sweetest and I love them sooooooo much.

    That being said, I think that the pound puppies that I grew up with were about the best dogs EVER, at least tied with my chihuahuas. :-) One was a ****-a-poo-chi (cocker spaniel, poodle, chihuaha mix) and the other was a jack russel mix (couldn't figure out what she was mixed with).

    I basically love ALL dogs, but small work best for me at this point in my life. Some day when I'm a homeowner with a big yard or lots of time to go for walks (or can afford a good dog walker) then I will have my first big dog. For now, I'm sticking with chihuahuas. :-)

    I have 3 shih tzus and love them to pieces! However....the grooming will kill ya! When I was young, we had Yorkies--they weren't quite as tiny as they are now, but they were wonderful dogs.

    All the dogs.

    Seriously I have yet to meet a breed of dog that I dislike. There are some that I am less of a fan of but I still love them.

    Currently I have a Chihuahua and I lover her to bits and as she gets older she gets funnier and funnier - I got her as I couldn't get a bigger dog at the time due to renting (my landlord said yes to the dog as long as it wasn't massive), so we got the Mexican Kitty. She is sweet and easy to look after doesn't require a huge yard (I have one anyways). I now own my own house and there is talks in the house about a St. Bernard, my housemates are still trying to convince me its a good idea - I am not totally sold on it as of yet.

    I am a lab lover. Although, I have always wanted a boxer. Then again....I grew up having muts! I really don't care just as long as they are cute and cuddly. They have to be large breeds though, I want a lot to cuddle with. :smile:

    Pit Bull.

    Yeah, I know they have a bad wrap, but I've had 5, and not a one of them was ever violent and not one ever bit someone else. They are loyal, protective, and so damn ugly they're cute.

    So we just picked out a new puppy to add to our family. We are die-hard boxer people. They're cute, affectionate, loyal and goofy as hell.

    What's your favorite breed and why?

    Have to agree, I have a boxer mix and she is the best dog ever

    This is my pomeranian "Hulk". He's presently my favorite breed because he's what I rescued.

    i am very biased towards my fur baby. he's an English Setter. he's just awesome. smart and cute and just SO MUCH love.

    but i think that John O'Hurley said it best at the National Dog Show:

    The Perfect Dog


    My son asked a question as little boys do
    Of me in my wisdom and all that I knew.

    “Is there a dog that is perfect?” he asked on a whim,
    Well, I thought and I thought about where to begin.

    “He’d have ears that were floppy… or cropped and alert
    And eyes that were sleepy… or perky and pert,
    He’d leap like a bunny or sit in your lap
    And run fast as horses… or opt for a nap.

    “A dog that is perfect would be covered in spots
    Or maybe one-color … and then have spots-not.

    “He’d be small as a teacup… or big as a house,
    With a nose that seemed flattened … or long like a mouse,

    “He’d swim and he’d hunt with a coat flying free
    Or be dainty and delicate … and ‘He’d’ be a ‘She’

    As I struggled to answer, and not with a clue,
    My son, with a smile, said, out of the blue,
    With the wisdom of children, what he already knew…

    The dog that is perfect … is the one next to you.



    - John O'Hurley
