What is your favorite breed of dog?

tough question…
grew up with a chocolate lab and so i’m kinda partial, she was a great dog.
lately, i think chow chows are sooo cool looking, but i hear their temperament isn’t the best.
but i love animals, so a favorite is kinda hard to pick!

Rescued. I have not had a dog that wasn’t a rescue in the last 20 years. Other than that it doesn’t matter. I prefer dogs that can handle cold easily.

Can I have two?
Long legged Jack Russell
Springer Spaniel

Pugs! I find them super cute.

German Shepherd Dog.They are smart and beautiful.

I’ve always wanted a pug. I think they’re so adorable. But, my chiwiener Jack is super cute too. That’s his best friend in the picture.

Having had a number of different breeds over the years and having a particular use (search and rescue) for my dogs, I have a preference for German Shepherd Dogs and I just love my labradoodle, Bender. Bender (depicted at left) is so smart and so biddable I can’t imagine going on a search without him.

He has this peculiar habit (that he developed of his own volition) of only returning the particular tennis ball that I have thrown. It doesn’t matter if I throw the ball into a lake or into a passel of balls at the dog park, he will only return with the ball that I threw. One day, knowing I had a Penn 4 tennis ball at the dog park, I threw the ball. He painstakingly gridded the 30 or more balls on the ground to find the one that I threw. A nearby man asked me what he was doing. Knowing his habit, I said “We are working on math. Today he is trying to cipher the square root of 16.” The look on the man’s face when Bender returned with the ball with a big number 4 on it was worth a million bucks!

Little maltese puppies <3

Bichon frise. Second, Shitzu. How is that spelled?

@py_sue Aww. He’s adorable.

My favorite breed and the best dog I’ve ever had has been an Alaskan Malamute.

@Mom2BDec2010 I love that breed, too. So fluffy!
@Aster :) It’s spelled Shih Tzu. I had one, she passed away earlier this year. They’re such great dogs. Very loving.

@chels I’m in love after seeing that one.

Saint Bernard…especially if his keg is full!

@py_sue They’re really protective of their owners and good watch dogs. :) People will try to steal them though.

Great Danes. Labradors are a close second.

It is a really tough question, but I think after having a variety of breeds that I love bird dogs best of all. If I had to pick one, it would be German Shorthair Pointer.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities But Great Danes break our hearts even sooner with their shorter lifespans—although I love their personalities.

I like any dog > = the size of a beagle. Otherwise, I’m not sure it’s still a dog. Just my own personal prejudice. I’ve met very few dogs that I didn’t like, so I can’t really choose!

Malamutes and Huskies are my favorite, but I’ll take any dog that needs a home. :D

Most of you know I lost my little one this summer…:( So, my favorite (still is) a Yorkie. With a Scotty up there, too. I just love the terriers——they are feisty and clever.

Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, West highland White Terriers, and, as crazy as they are, even Pulik.

Boston Terriers and I have a 15 week old pup named Moose. Look how cute they are when they’re little puppies!

Labs are second followed closely by Airedales.

border collie

Ahh good hard question (no sexual pun intended) But uh…I don’t really know…I like all breeds.
But my favorites are these:
1:Sarloose Wolf hound.
2:Siberian Husky
3Akita
4:Shiba Inu
5German Shepard
I know there are more I like but I can’t think of any more besides those five. Oh! and the hybrids or wolves XP those are my favvvorrriteee!

Milo here; A Newfoundland…I can easily saddle him up and ride to the Mouse Preserve.

Hmm, I love dogs. I think my favorites have been mutts. I tend to like larger dogs and terriers. But for the sake of the question ..what breed:

Labradoodle
Otterhound
Airedale Terrior
Weimaraner
Catahoula Leopard

..ok there’s too many ;)

Really hard question.
My favorite dog is a female standard poodle. She was so very smart and a very Good dog. I have had rescue mutts sice Chienne now because I do not want to have to shave the hair every month. She was a great family member for 15 active years.

Beagle

@casheroo Good call.

Dalmatians

German Shepards and King Charles Cavalier Spaniels, followed by Spring Spaniels.

I’m a huge fan of the Bull Terrier family as well as German Shepherds, Wireheaired Pointers, Rottweilers, Field Spaniels, Flatcoated Retrievers (having been raised with these dogs I am probably a little bias!) and Jack Russell Terriers.
