What dog breed is your favourite and why?

It's just that certain dog breeds pull at our heartstrings a tad bit more than others. And your choice tells a lot about your personality, studies show.

Mine is AKITA INU. What's yours?

I am very sorry that you lost your pet, it is very painful. It sounds like you might want to get another jorshin terrier, it is a very good breed. Especially since you have a golden retriever, they would make a good tandem. A friend of mine recently got a Yorkshire Terrier too, but before that she read a lot of articles and consulted a canine specialist. She came across the article "Life Expectancy Of A Yorkie", which helped her friend to take proper care of her dog. So I recommend that you prepare well for a second dog, but overall, it's great that you decided to get another pet.

I'm on my fifth golden retriever . . .

Here is #4

I have a fondness for Rat Terriers, but I love them all. ♥

Not a Lhasa Apso.

Jack Russel, it's a 50 lb dog in a 12 lb package.
Papillon, she's adorable, fast and crazy.
Golden doodle, fun to say, also smart and cuddly.

I fell in love with two … because I had blends of each: Border Collie and Black Lab.. One appeared to think she’d eventually turn into a Human … the other was more than happy being All-Dog 🙂

All of them.

Sheltie. Smart, obedient and fun. Great frisbee dog.

I have had curs mixed so that only an expert might guess, though all were special, the smartest I ever had was a little female poodle, and generally had poodles till the maintainance got too much. Past eight or so years, B.B. a runt chihuahua mix has kept my bloodpressure down, and my spirits up. And I spoil her by being well trained.

Love Akitas!! We used to raise them when I was a child. They are a wonderful breed.

@Sealybobo They aren't for everyone. They have many positive traits and have a bad reputation like pit bulls. People use them to fight but they were also used to babysit children. Ours were extremely gentle with all us kids an anyone else. They are protective of their people and can be dangerous.
I wouldn't consider them a "dog park" type of dog. Probably not in the city at all. I wouldn't even consider it without a large.well fenced in yard.

I like my small dogs more than anything. Especially with little hair. I also like Rottweilers. My brother has a 130 pound Rott that is the sweetest dog I've ever known.

I grew up with beagles & gun dogs. I love labs. My last dog was a rescued pit/lab mix. Had him 16 years & just lost him last May. I haven't even taken his crate down yet. I am far from ready for another dog. I've decided when I can watch a puppy video without sobbing, I will volunteer at my local animal shelter. My schedule doesn't allow the commitment for a dog at this time.

@Sealybobo Puck went everywhere with me. When I got him as a pup, my sons were still at home & my mom was there. He was alone all of 45 minutes, if that. When I traveled, he went with me, staying in hotels & going to conventions, camping, fishing, you name it. I feel like a part of me is missing since he's been gone.

Pitbull type dogs. I'm pretty biased on that as my best friend is one. Very misunderstood dogs. I've worked as a pet groomer for the last 13 years and have come across more vicious chihuahuas and shih tzu's than I have bully type dogs. Though, I'm a firm believer in it's how they're socialized and raised. My girl is a big baby that thinks she's a lap dog. Will be anyones best friend if you have scratches and cookies.

When my youngest daughter was 4, and her sisters 7 and 11 we got a Golden Retriever puppy. His puppy and adolescent days were hard, but he grew into the BEST DOG EVER! I loved training him. My troubled and troublesome child told him all her secrets, he was better than a therapist for her and I so wish I could have planted a recorder on him. He was the son I never gave birth to, and the best brother the girls ever had. I'd like to get another dog one day, but not something that big.

I had a sheltie. She was wonderful.
I also like the hounds.

I like dogs of many breeds, and I have kept different breeds, but after the German Shepherd, there will only be a German Shepherd. The advantages of this dog are limitless; it is versatile. It can be kept at home and in an aviary outdoors. All commands these dogs catch on the fly. React to intonation. In my opinion, it is characterized by intelligence and is more pronounced than other breeds. In addition, I like the appearance of this breed. It's been over a year since he was purchased and registered at servicedogregistration.org.

Rott/Lab mixes or in the case of Phife Dawg, a Rott/Lab/Pitt mix. Tosh, in the second photo, is the Rott/Lab mix.

I once had standard poodle crossed with pitbull brother and sister.... talk abiut smart dogs... Frightfully intelligent.

I want whats commonly called the"Mini Pinscher" then I want to train him to believe he's a Rottweiler... Do they do doggie hypnosis??

1

Cats for me, thanks. Actually, I do like doggos too. I want to have a pit bull someday.

@Sealybobo Ha ha, thanks for the heads-up. Maybe I will just stick with cats.

I like sled dogs, like the Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute. I've always loved German Shepherds too. My current dog is 75% Husky, 12.5 Malamute, and 12.5% White Swiss Shepherd (similar to a German Shepherd). She's practically perfect in every way.

WSS are badass. I'd love to meet one sometime. Nice to see old school conformation on them vs what's gone on with GSD today.

Mine is a tie between pit bull and Bernese Mountain Dog. My Berner was like a pet bear. 130lbs of fuzzy love. The pittie I have now is the most lovable dog in the world. He just wants to snuggle and give kisses all day.

I'm a dog person, I like all dogs each is unique, however right now I have an English Bulldog, my first and I would not know where to start to explain the fondness of this breed! There's not a mean bone in his body.

All my dogs are mutts but if I were to choose a purebred I would choose German Shepherd. I also have a soft spot for greyhounds. I like big breeds like St. Bernards, Danes, Newfies, etc.

Border Collies

@bubaj50 Two of my dogs have border collie DNA.

@graceylou pretty ladies!

@bubaj50 Just me and my Princess Leia.
