    Mutts are the best!

    We had our Muffy which Dad lovingly called Muttley for over 13 years. She lived to 16 and only because she was hit by a car. was still healthy and acted like a Pup up until then.

    Clumber Spaniel... we bred and showed them, as well as Salukis. We've also owned English springer spaniels. NO other breeds ever.

    I've had several. Boxer/Mastiff pound pup that was adorable. Poodle/Shih Tze pound pup that was my little lover. Childhood we had a toy poodle that was the coolest guy. I thought it was just him. My kids heard all the stories of that cool black poodle named Paco and wanted one of their own. So, we got one. She's a black miniature poodle and what I found out is it wasn't just Paco that was cool. It's poodles that are cool. We've had such a great time with her.

    I like them all. My last dog was a cocker spaniel / long haired dachshund / who knows what else rescue from the mean streets named Chuck, and he was awesome. Lived to be 18.

    Now I have a dachshund / Vampire Slayer. Weirdest dog I've ever met - and thoroughly entertaining.

    The Chosen One:

    I've got a few favorites:

    1) German Shepard - had a beautiful white one when I was a child and have fond memories
    2) Sheltie - My family has had three shelties and they were always the most loving dog - & one of them saved me from rattlesnake bite as a child. (We set a new land/speed record getting him to the vet and he was ok.)
    3) Lab -- my husband's favorite, but I love our big guy too.
    4) Shih Tzu - family's also had a few of them and they're like having an animated teddy bear/forever puppy who loves you. So sweet and adorable.

    Chek-Slovak Shepherd. Had the most awesome one for 8 years, passed in March


    Serious inquiry: Anyone have experience with wolf hybrids? They sound very similar to Shepherds...

    Most wolf hybrids are a scam, just mixes of dog breeds with wolf like features and passed off as part wolf.

    True wolf hybrids are not like any domestic breeds and should not be mistaken for one. They may have some traits but they are still part wild animals. They need specific handling and training, a very large area to roam with a good fence and need a diet closest to their wild counterparts.

    Some good info

    My husband and I had a wolf hybrid four decades ago... the only non purebred, non registered canine we ever had, He was part husky, part grey wolf, looked like a taller rangier husky with big paws and yellow eyes, and came from the Yukon. I took him through obedience training, despite the clear and outspoken disapproval of the trainer, and he passed with flying colors. We lived in the country with safely fenced acres of yard. Kai had a wonderful singing voice and would join in when we played tapes of wolf howling. He would play with our spaniel, and when she had enough she'd roll over on her back, dog submission, and he'd go for her belly, still playing. When HE had enough, he'd turn his head to show submission wolf style, and she'd go for his throat... a bit of a language barrier. When the spaniel had pups she'd do her best to growl him away, but when she was outside he'd run to the nest and regurgitate food for the pups as if they were his wolf pups... definite wolf, not male dog, behavior. That said, I don't reccommend crossing wolves and their far too changed descendants, but that one was a lovely and gentle animal. We had no aggressive behavior from him at all, not even over food, he just deferred to us humans as he would to a pack leader. As a bonus, he kept the place free of destructive and disease carrying vermin such as cats, raccoons, opossums and rabbits!

    We've been a Golden Retriever family my entire life! I couldn't imagine having any other dog in my house although I do LOVE huskies, German Shepherds, and Shiba Inus! Big dogs FTW. :heart:

    No exaggeration when I say ALL of them. But I go through phases where I am obsessed with one particular kind of dog.

    Right now those are:
    Boxers (I grew up with a boxer who was the sweetest dog in the entire world, so boxers will always be an obsession for me)
    Boston Terriers
    Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
    Beagles

    Dachshunds are my favorite - they are so mischievous. One dachshund is trouble. Two are a gang. Three are a criminal syndicate.

    Generally love all dogs. It's the big brown expressive eyes that get me every time.
