What is your secret breed?

An Appenzeller. I knew three of them years ago, and wrote them off as too much dog for me back then. But I love the size and look, and thinking back, I think I'd really like one as the person I am now. I'd have to re-meet the breed and see. I can't imagine ever going looking for one...but I like them. A lot.
Actually I take that back... one breed i absolutley adore but will never be equipped to live with and own is a Malamute.
Oh, and CAOs. GORGEOUS dogs, don't think I could handle one.
Shih Tzus.
Alot of them that I know are just super sweet. Granted, I have had my fair share of nasty ones at work! Some are just **** ugly!
We have a clinic dog at work though that is a shih tzu. Mr. Charlie Brown (B, Mr. B, Brown). He is like 16 and just the most wonderful dog! Except that he is a little senile which is why he now lives at the clinic (floors are easy to clean, and noone cares if you bark all night in the kennel). I just adore that dog so much! Alot just are so joyful though. Perhaps never will have one though.

Chihuahua. Nobody who knows me pegs me as a toy breed person, but there is just something about Chihuahuas that I love. The more I learn about and experience them, but more I want my own one day. They're so much fun!
My other top secret breed (that probably isn't really a secret) would be a Dutch Shepherd. But it's highly unlikely I'll ever own one, as much as I love them.

Not sure how secret it is but despite having almost nothing but herding breeds, I would love to have a sighthound some day. I lean towards whippets because of the size, most of sighthounds are a lot bigger than I prefer.
I have been extremely impressed with the Entlebuchers I have seen in agility. Don't know that I'd go get one but they certainly have caught my attention. They don't look like they'd be fast driven dog but...wow!

A Papillion.
I'm 6' tall, and don't particularly like small dogs - I'm more of a big, drooly mutt sort of person. But Paps totally melt my heart. People who know my tastes in dogs are always shocked when I say I like them.
Also: Standard Poodles. LOVE them. People are always shocked when they hear I like "girly" breeds. . .

Hey Spoos aren't girly, they are a sporting dog! I like Spoos too, FOHA had a big white one 7 years ago. He crawled into my lap and I was hooked. If I had a Spoo, I'd probably want to keep it shaved down all the time, maybe with long ears and a pom on the tail (those docked tails just don't look right sometimes without a pom at the end!)
