    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

    Thanks! Love this. And I like English Setters too!!!

    I am a dog lover, but find it hard to pick a favorite breed. Being an Sportsman, I am partial to the sporting group dogs.

    Presently residing in our house are:

    Ben- Liver and White Brittany
    Spencer- Weimeraner
    Alma- English Pointer
    Graham- St Bernard/Lab mix (rescue)
    Maggie- Beagle/Bassett mix (rescue)
    Tink- Yorkie mix

    Husky.

    I have a 2 year old Husky and she is amazing! very calm, loyal and very well mannered. I think a lot of that comes from her being a rescue too.

    I'm a huge fan of mutts. I love a dog that makes you tilt your head and say, "What the hell are you?"

    I'm also partial to "pitties", I love them, loyal, cuddly, and sweeter than pie.

    Newfoundlands. Hands down.

    We had a bunch of them when I was growing up. Such loyal, faithful dogs. Unbelievably cuddly to boot. It's like snuggling with an actual grizzly bear.

    Rescue. :heart: I'm also partial to "mutts" and German Shepherds because our old dog was a pound puppy mutt and our current dog is a purebred German Shepherd that someone dumped off at the end of our road. Actually, almost any big dog will do for me!

    Labs and Rotties for me. We have both and have had various mixes of the two since we started owning dogs. Labs (the skinny working type) totally nuts and makes us laugh all the time while also being very intelligent and rotties for their love, loyalty and affection.

    Currently, my favorite is my Brittany (Bentley). He's sweet, silly, loving, and a helluva bird hunter. In all honesty, I'd likely get another Brittany some day, but I just really love dogs.

    My mom used to show Giant Schnauzers, & they are still my favorite breed. But I will always be a rescue dog girl, especially after THIS dork found me in St. Bernard Parish, LA just weeks after the BP oil spill started:

    Shadeaux is now nearly three years old & is the center of our household.

    We have a golden retriever, he's a handsome boy. He's only 10 months so the full coat isn't in yet but itll be stunning when it comes in! He's utterly mental though.

    Beagles are my favorite with a good old fashioned mutt coming in a close second!

    Could not possibly pick just one. Love all dogs really. For those dog lovers out there, my brother in Chicago is a talented photographer that LOVES photographing the dogs at the dog beach. If anyone cares to take a look, your favorite breed might be in the mix! http://www.flickr.com/photos/hbchicago/sets/72157632407968044/

    I've been a DIEHARD Rottweiler fan for well over 25 years, during which time I've had two of the lovable goofs. My wife, on the other hand, is a German Shepard lover. Hence, we always seem to wind up with (at least) one of each.....

    Our dog is part Cocker Spaniel and part Dacshund he's awesome. Never gets super big and he has the big fluffy paws like a cocker spaniel and the fluffy ears. And he's a major couch potatoe and awesome with kids. Very calm natured.

    We have a black lab collie cross. He thinks he's a lapdog, at 70lb. :) my kids love him to pieces and he's very protective of us but friendly. He's everything you could ever want in a dog.
