Which one is your favorite dog breed and which one is your least favorite dogbreed?

French Bulldog, hands down favourite. Followed by Dobermanns.

I don't really dislike any dog breed, except maybe snappy Jack russells. If they're not snappy they're all good too.

Annika30

Bulldogs are fantastic!

Alun

Favourite: Airedale terrier.
Least favourite: all slobbery dogs like bulldogs, mastiffs etc.

Annika30

Alun, I was training an airedale terrier the other day it's a lovely breed, I don't think there are many of them around.

I like most dog breeds really. Since I own two, obviously I know a bit more about sighthounds, and I love whippets, salukis, borzois and deerhounds.
Others I like are rhodesian ridgebacks, daschunds, dobermans are lovely too.

Not mad about springer spaniels, cavalier king charles spaniels, boxers, rotties or GSDs.... but I dont dislike them.

Annika30

fits, you have great taste, of course;) , RR has to be mine of my favorite:D

Yes, they're beautiful dogs, very strong. They used to use them in Germany as police dogs in addition to German Shepherds, but I'm not sure whether they still do.

As for Rhodesian Ridgebacks, the only time a dog has "gone for me" it was a very large RR, after the owners specifically told me he was fine, and wouldn't mind being stroked .. nearly took my hand off, but they did apologize profusely afterwards

My favourite are Staffies (cos we have one) and boxers cos i think they are great craic!!

My least favourite is the small little yappy terriers can think of there names now but there are two up the street from us and always follow us down the street barking at us

Red setter, we have had many over the years and they bring back alot of childhood memories. Lovely, proud dogs. Least favourite would be Shih Tzu, not a fan of stubbed nosed dogs.

Shih Tzu - Thats the ones!!
don't like them little feckers at all!!!

German Shorthaired Pointers

We have 2 wonderful specimens - if I do say so myself.

Dislike small 'toy' dogs.

Annika30

I have to agree some of the small toy breeds wouldn't be on my favorite list......

Glowing

Have to vote for the sighthounds! Greyhounds, lurchers, whippets etc! Beautiful looking animals with lovely temperaments.

I'm not mad about little lap dogs who seem to be just bred for the cuteness factor. They're a bit pointless. Although i've never owned one so I'm a bit biased.

Annika30

Glowing, yes they really do have a fantastic temperament!

corkimp

Favourite breed - German Shepherds and belgian shepherds.
I love most of the big breeds
Least favourite - small toy breeds - had bad experience with them when I was young and not a fan of the slobbery dogs lol:rolleyes:

English Bull Terrier. Loved them since I was a kid (much to my folks horror) I will never own one (might as well be walking a rabid panther when it comes to some people) I just think they are one of the friendliest best looking dogs.



Not everyones cup of tea.

Annika30

Haha! No definitely not everyones cup of tea, but I think they are cute and they do have a lovely temperament:D

neacy69

I really like these boyos aswell although I seem to like all of the bull breeds now that i think of it....


American Bull terrier

Irish Wolf

My brother's got a Basset hound - lovely dog... daft as a brush! My preference would lean towards a Great Dane or a flavour of Mastiff...

andrawolf

Am sorry you all are not that fond of terriers but I would say jack russells are a get dog and if you get the right one they can be a childs best friend.:D . I do however love Siberian huskies. Very loveing and very good lookin. I am not that keen on beshones (don't know how to spell. but the whit ones like mini sheep):rolleyes:

lightening

The English Bull Terrier is a terrier, so is that other Bull Terrier.

Alun

Nearly forgot .. another favourite dog, one that you rarely see oustide of Belgium and the Netherlands, is the Bouvier, especially the "blonde" ones .. just like a great big teddy bear on four legs

yogidc26

Has to be a lab or a Dobermann bouth great dogs

shinners007

Boxers and maltese are my favourite!!!

heres a pic of max and gypsy two of my boxers and a puppy taht i gave my nephew for his confirmation he called him Milo!!!
Least favourte are jack russells but i like all dogs!

2funki4wheelz

I'll say all my mogrels and the magical mix they are but that's not a very helpful answer

I adore the grace of all the sighthounds, especially greyhounds. A rescued racer is definietly the next dog.

And I'm not fond of King Charles Spaniels or Westies but maybe I just met some pampered, spoiled ones.

Annika30

shinners007, Wow they are beautiful:D

Bex01

I own a German Shepherd so I love them. I also love rotties & staffs cause any that I've met have been so friendly. Oh and greyhounds too, I think they are really loving.

I dont dislike any breeds really, not too fond of the smaller yappy dogs I suppose.

michelleans

German shepherds hands down I own one and want to get at least another later on once my boy is grown up more. We've always had dogs such as labs, retrievers, springers etc around the house gorgeous dogs but not as intelligent as my shepherd. My jack russel was a sweet heart too.

I can't stand those small toy dogs that yap and yap and yap and those chinese crested naked things :rolleyes:

shinners007

thanks!!! heres misty and holly!! My two babies!

I have a german shepherd cross and yes they are fantastic, but she's not that bright:p You can see pictures of her on my website she's absolutely gorgeous.

Annika30

They are so cute! Is that your horse as well? I sold my horse a while back and I really miss going to the stable!

shinners007

junkyard

I love Cocker Spaniel's, Bloodhound's, Bassethound's, Border Collies, Springer Spaniel's and nearly all dog's really except, Jack Russell's or small yappy type dog's. Not big on scrawney Grey hounds or similar or any dog that you can't see their eyes, i.e. very hairy ones.

Alfasudcrazy

Needless to say mine is Dobermans, followed by german shepards and beagles.

princess k

having had 1 for 12 years,has to be japanese akita. lovely dogs,bit stubborn at times,but very loving and great with kids.

racso1975

has to be the mastiff one of the most loving dogs i have ever met and so low maintainence on the exercise front:p but seriously makes up for it on the food front:D

These and similar types like llaso apso (hope I spelled that right !) and tibetian terrier are my favourites. I'm surprised that the majority of you prefer the bigger breeds.

peasant

I'm a sucker for anything shaggy, as long as it is a reasonable size.

lookswise this fellow would be my favourite



(a "South Russian Ovtcharka" btw)

Kojak

My favourite breed of dog would have to be Alsatian. They are big, strong, they make good guard dogs and IMO they are highly intelligent.

They breed of dogs I like least is small "toy" dogs like sh1tzu etc. They just annoy me, probably because of their constanst screeching and yelping. :mad:

deaddonkey

i like german shepherds, belgian mailinois/tervuren shepherds, rotties, dobies, gold retrievers, springer spaniels, dachshundss, jack russells and border collies, staffies, beagles, 'pitbull types', greyhounds/lurchers/salukis etc all a lot.

not too keen on labs

hate yorkies, ****zus, westies, most small dogs really. i really can't stand king charles spaniels and their ilk. at all. awful creatures. cats don't do much for me either
edit, i can't type 'shi tzu', i dunno how it's meant to be spelled. lol.

deaddonkey

nice to see the shepherds coming out on top.

truly the kings and queens of the canine world. a smarter or more loyal dog there is not

d-redser

Pugs are the best ever!

Huge personalities and they really have a sense of humour along with their stubborn streak!

I would be lost without mine!!



Would love one of these if I got a bigger garden/house

Favourite Big(gish) Dogs - German Shepherd, border collie (have one), lab, boxer, mastiff.

Andrawolf, they are both very beautiful! Possibly my favourite breed.
I do like the temperament of the border collie though, and they also are very intelligent and beautiful animals.

Danes

Great Danes are far and away my favourite breed closely followed by Greys and lurchers. I'd love to have a Staffie at some point too as any I've ever met have been great humoured dogs. My least favourite breed is the Westie. I've never owned one but have fostered and transported them and their personality just doesnt suit me at all.

munsterchick

Oh no, I love my little jack russel,We have always had Jrt growing up. But I asolutely love rotties and german shepards. Just don't have the room for them at the moment, My OH loves staffies, he grew up with them.
