What's your favorite breed of dog?

The cat breed. Dogs are awful. Ok not ALL dogs, but most. If I HAD to tolerate a breed, it would be something not smelly, ugly, drooly, doesn't shed, doesn't eat/crap a ton, and doesn't bark all the time or have an annoying yappy voice. What breed would that be? :laugh:

A Basenji.

Short hair, hypoallergenic, 25-35 lbs, but strong, loyal and does not bark.

Love that dog!

I owned two Basenji's, mother and daughter. From a championship line too.

They are all of the above; however, they are, without a doubt, the smartest and most stubborn dog breed ever. They are truly the cat of the dog world. And lastly, the closest to being wild of any breed. If you get more than one, they will pack attack other animals and small children. I'll never forget the day my two 20-30lb dogs got off leashes and cornered a Pit mix. There is a reason they are used to hunt Lions in Africa.

My father had three, but only one at a time. Fascinating dogs, and yes, very intelligent. Had no idea about the 'pack attack' issue, although in retrospect that doesn't surprise me given their use in Africa. I would love to have one in the future, but right now is not really a good time.

Most breeds that hunt (not retrieve) will do the pack thing. Terriers do it all the time. Just ask the bunnies who hang out in our yard.

Oh yes, as I previously mentioned in another post, I have 3 JRT's (2 purebred, 1 JRT/Doxie) and they go nuts when the cottontails and jack rabbits are in the yard, or the ground squirrels are in the yard.

I recently started doing agility with my female (she is almost 2) and she has taken to it like a fish to water! Within the first hour, she was able to go through the first run of obstacles and back off leash. Smart, and she really loved the stimulation.

We had moles once. Not any more. My guys are silent when prey is involved, I actually had to stop feeding birds in the backyard it attracted too many critters.

Oh and I love listening to Huskies and Malamutes howl. It's just the cutest thing. ^_^

It's pretty easy to get our Samoyed howling........

I am not biased towards any dog breed and could probably fall in love with them all, but I have a special place in my heart for Boxer's, Pitbulls, Great Danes, and Cockerspaniels. When I was a baby, my grandparents had this amazing giant great dane and I just remember him being so gentle..my Mom has plenty of pics of him walking right behind me when I was learning how to walk. Apparently he was very protective over me.

This is Bruce. My Boxer/Pitt mix. Very loyal, loving and affectionate. A big mush that will probably lick a robber too death instead of trying to hurt him. Thinks he's a lap dog and sleeps like a human with his head on a pillow snuggled next to me at night.



This was Lucky. My fiercely loyal cockerspaniel who used to lay across my lap and snore with his eyes open when he wanted my attention. He sadly passed away a few months ago due to old age. I took his death very hard, and I miss his beautiful face every single day.



This is my Mom's pitbull Tonka. He's a big baby, loves kisses and hugs and is truly a gentle giant. He and Bruce love play dates on the beach and car rides.

I definitely love them all! Animals are so wonderful and dogs are just so special to have as friends.

But I certainly have a soft spot for the sweet little guys!

Maltese, Havanese, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, Shiba Inus, Pomeranians...

I love how when they jump on you, their paws are so soft and gentle. It's difficult to deal with a big dog jumping on you because they don't realize how big they are and those big excited paws can hurt! lol Gotta love 'em though. :P

Oh and I love listening to Huskies and Malamutes howl. It's just the cutest thing. ^_^

Well trained dogs do NOT jump on people!! I've had a lot of dogs ( Salukis, Clumber spaniels, English springer spaniels), up to 12 at a time when I was breeding and showing, and I never had a dog ill mannered enough to jump on people.

This is my Mom's pitbull Tonka. He's a big baby, loves kisses and hugs and is truly a gentle giant. He and Bruce love play dates on the beach and car rides.

OMG! This guy looks so much like my Pittie, Vinny, only Vin-man has green eyes, instead of those pretty blue ones.

I absolutely adore pit bulls. One of my favorite things is introducing people who have an aversion to pits to my big silly bull. He's just about impossible to NOT love. Also, he's my 3 year old niece's best friend. She doesn't call my house "Aunt Ali's" house, she calls it "Vinny's house". Lol.

I have a big ol' English bulldog, too. Not my favorite breed, but I kind of ended up with him by default. A little too snorty and stubborn for my tastes. Plus, he snots on my ankles all the time. Not cool. But I have to love him anyway.

I'm not a big fan of small dogs at all, and for some reason, german shepherds scare the crap out of me. Don't ask me why, they just do!

I've always wanted a Husky but alas I live in NYC...

Mastiffs love big dogs! They are the best

This is one of my loves and my walking buddy

Dalmatian.

Just about the right proportion of all that's good about dogs.

I love a lot of different breeds but my breed is a Cane Corso

Mutts... My best dogs have been mutts.

I currently have a Rot/Hound/prob a bunch of other breeds mutt named Rocky.

He is the sweetest, most amazing dog. I swear the boy knows exactly what I am talking about when talking to him.

I love many breeds but I can't imagine my life without a Rottweiler.

Australian Sheppard's
