- Dog aggression - if it shows up after I get the dog then whatever, not a huge deal, but I wouldn't knowingly get a breed overly prone to it
- Drool. Yuck, can't do it
- A ton of coat or one that required professional grooming. I love Quinn's easy care, teflon coat
- Dogs that are rough and goofy, like a lot of Labs, doodles, Vizslas, etc. I really don't like dogs who are all over you, all over other dogs, will run into you, etc. I like a quiet herding breed that's gentle with people, even when excited and friendly.
- I would go really small (would love a Chi) but I can't see myself with anything bigger than a GSD and even the GSD size is a bit of a con to me. I'm really happy with something 35-50 pounds as a "big dog".
- Slow moving, slow witted, no stamina. I like a quick thinking, serious, athletic dog that's always up for whatever I want to do.
- A dog that has no desire to be with and please me
- Dogs with no off switch or self preservation
Basically I'm best suited for herding breeds (I love English Shepherds, Border Collies, German Shepherds, Koolies, etc) and there's a few toy breeds I could definitely see myself with as well (Chihuahuas, Papillons, Cavs). Plus some other breeds that I just plain like
