That's hard. The breed I'm most likely to get is a standard poodle. But I am deeply fond of and greatly admire German Shepherds. And the breed that if I see one is guaranteed to make me grin and exclaim to the owner in delight is a corgi. So . . . I'd guess I actually have to say Corgis (both types) . . . they just make me happy by existing.

Well its Alaskan Malamutes for me
then I would maybe say Euraiser.
Although Bel.Mals are rather catching my eye, hard working and eager to please but not a walk over dog.

I greatly admire Dobermans, APBTs, and Rottweilers. I would LOVE to own a Doberman some day. I won't be able to for a while though. *sniffle*

German Shepherds, Jack Russell's and Great Pyrenees.
Yay for Pyrs!!!!!
Although there are other breeds that are more unique-looking, I have never had or known a better dog than my Labrador Retriever, so that's my pick. I am getting a Golden Retriever in the next 2 weeks, though, so I might have a tie. ;)

Border Collies defiantly. :) M1, is that your border collie in your avatar? You must post pictures, there are quite a few "BC addicts" here.

Pugs are my favorite, but I am very fond of many other breeds including bulldogs. :)
Border Collies are and always will be my #1, but I also have quite the fondness for Filas and most other herding breeds.

Tollers are and always will be my #1 favourite, but I also really like the following:
Belgian Shepherd (Groenendael, then Tervuren)
Australian Shepherd
Border Collie
Mudi
Doberman
There are more as well, but those are my top favourites.
Australian Shepherd for sure. Also on my top 5 are Rotties, BCs, Filas and shepherd mixes...yes the mixes. I'm not a fan of pure GSD's, but they make for some amazing mixes.

Tollers

All sighthounds regardless of breed. But especially the more primitive ones.
Black and Tan coonhounds, Bloodhounds. Harriers, English Foxhounds.
All of the primitive breeds...Akitas, Ovchartkas, other LGDs.

I'm head over heels for border collies.
But I definately have a soft spot for tollers, papillions, and yes, you heard right, corgi's :yikes:

I always feel like such a loser on these threads - I really don't have a favorite breed. I've met a lot of dogs of different breeds that I love, but haven't found "my breed". I'd say Mountain Curs, but I'm pretty sure I got really lucky with mine!

11-02-2007, 09:21 PM
I have noticed not everyone is saying the breed they have, but I have to, because it is my favourite, the Samoyed!!!
However, I also like border collies and leonburgers, and I've always liked dalmaions, I think the 101 Dalmations stuff has subliminal messages!
Dekka
11-02-2007, 09:27 PM
Jack Russell terriers all the way lol!
I like sight hounds, BC, and tollers rock.

Dobermans of course.........and great danes have always fascinated me as well. I don't know if they would fit my life, but I love their friendly nature and their looks alot.
I would consider alot of different types of athletic looking dogs if they would fit into our life well.
I have posted this before, but I tend to be drawn to short haired well built, toned dogs where you can see and appreciate their physique. I LOVE to see a well built dog running with their muscles rippling........it is a thing of beauty to me :)

Greyhounds will always be my number one, hands down.
After that, the bully breeds and mastiff breeds are tied in second.
After that, the Mal.
And after that . . . wait . . . are there any other breeds? ;)

My absolute favorite.. Flatcoated Retriever. But I also really like Cavaliers (of course), Golden retrievers and Irish setters.

I would have to say, Rhodesian Ridgeback, just because of that face and how they run like doofuses when they're showing off. Next would be Doberman's, i love that loving "hey, im here" head laying they do. Last... I always had G.S.D's so if i went for long hair again, that'd be my pick, though i prefer the short coats.

I don't really have a "favorite".
I grew up with Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and I loved the breed then, and still do, but I still wouldn't say that they're my favorites.
I've gotten the opportunity to work with many, many different breeds of dogs...and really, it's not about the breed. It's the individual dog.
For example, I wasn't really much of an APBT/AmStaff person, until I fostered a few and fell in love...
So, really, I'm not listing any breed as a "I definately want to own one in the future"...but I'm not listing any as a "I'll never have" either... :)

For me American Hairless Terrier.The first American Hairless Terrier was only recently born in the "disco generation" to a litter of mid-sized Rat Terriers. He is a loving, playful, and highly intelligent dog who is completely hairless except for his eyebrows and whiskers! They are generally 7 to 16 inches tall and weigh anywhere from 5 to 16 pounds. The skin is usually pink with black, gray, brown or red spots. It is warm and very soft to the touch.
