Dog breeds you would never own

The only breed of dog I've ever been bitten by (that was serious = blood and probably needed stiches but I hate Dr.s so I didn't go) was a Golden 
badly bred and poorly owned... but I still love ALL breeds. I won't say which breeds I don't think I'll ever own because that'll end up being the next dog on my doorstep lol

On first thought I was going to say any thing real furry, I like dogs with real short hair. I then thought I am truly blessed to share my home and life with any dog. One day I will be too old to live independently and will have to be in a home....I will be very happy to have an Old English Sheepdog or Puli at that time in my life.

I dont think i'd own anything outside of the herding/working group.
I dont like terriers or hounds - to high strung, and to much drive on something that I didn't train them in lol If I was a hunter or something though.. lol
I'm not fond of toy breeds either - they are just too tiny. I grew up with Shelties.. they are as tiny as I'd go..
I dont like the non-sporting group - I want a dog that was bred for a specific type of work that i could show/train them in.

i don't think i'd go for big dogs. kind of afraid of them. perhaps because i'm small size haha. once someone's golden retriever jumped on me and knocked me over.
looks like majority here don't like terriers / toy group confession here. i own a terrier. cute as it may be, i would have to admit i might have made a wrong choice

Probably will never own a terrier (especially a JRT or WHFT) or a hound. GSD's are out, most of the toy/companion group is out (with possibly the exception of the Cavalier), any dog that requires excessive grooming (Pulis, Afghans, etc).
I like my herding/working group.
But who knows? Something in a shelter could just 'click'. I just won't ever actively seek those dogs out.

I know this is off-topic, but Amstaffer, your pic of Saladin is gorgeous! I've never seen a more beautiful pitt!
Thats not a pit, he is an american staffordshire bull terrier, which is a different breed. But the two breeds are related.
Correct me if I am wrong amstaffer.
lol, he looks like a lot of the pitts around here, so I kinda assumed. Sorry. Still beautiful!
There was a BYB trying to get my vet to sign-off his pitt pups as staffs so he could ship them by plane. Believe the nerve? He wouldn't do it without registration papers - which of course the guy didn't have.
