Whats you favorite breed and why?

[cloverfdx]

Border Collies, Where do i start......They are extremly intelligent, active, sweet, beautiful, willing to work hard, great sporting dogs, their coat types vary as does build, weight, height, ears etc. Ah i just love em

Coming in a close second & 3rd & 4th are NSDTR (i may have conned a lady from dog club into trying Flyball with her Toller)
Also Border Terriers, Pyr Shepherds (we cannot get them in Aus yet) and Boxers. All of the above for their ability to work and play hard and i love the Boxers as they are generally the class clowns and make work/play interesting.

I love all kinds of breeds and my heartdog that passed almost 2 yrs ago was an Akita named Kori but the breed I love is the Leonberger and I hope never to be without one again.We have a Leonberger,a lab mix, a shiba inu,and a pom/pap/?mix and love them all but the Leo is the breed that fits me perfectly.I love the giant breeds.I love their docile personality and yet joyful spirit and they are a beautiful dog.But don't get me wrong they are not for everyone and they do require work as all furbabies do.They take grooming and love and training but they are the dog of my heart.

lol I just noticed this thread is 4 years old! lol

We have a Toller breeder here in Kelowna. They feed BARF, too. You know you want to come get one over here.

actually tollwest was my second choice, I checked them out at the same time as the one I am sticking with right now, Torlan tollers is in calgary, much closer to me. I also like Torlan better, because while they are involved in showing they also breed and train dogs for ability, her son trains the dogs for actual tolling, and her daughter trains them for agility. pluse she is VERY nice, and keeps in close touch with all of her puppy owners.

I've researched tons of breeds within the last two years and my favorites are below:

1) American Cocker Spaniel (a breed which I'm highly considering on puchasing)

2) Bassett Hound (a breed which I love to look at but don't suit me)

3) Labrador Retreivers (yet again, a breed I love to look at but don't suit me)

4) Golden Retrievers

5) German Sheperds and German Sheperd Crosses

6) Rough Coated Collies (I don't like the way they look in the US - the English look a bit better, they have a more developed stop)

I'm currently researching the American Cocker and am finding out lots of good things. Come in a variety of colors, happy-go-lucky etc. They are the smallest breed in the Sporting Group (AKC). Bassett Hounds are the gentleman's hunter. Most are slow moving, they tend to follow their nose. They are great dogs too. Labrador and Golden Retrievers are highly energetic, love to please and there are a ton of breeders breeding both. Rough Coated Collies are a long haired breed, bred to be herders. Very family oriented dogs (so I hear). German Sheperds are great dogs. I'm learning first hand about this breed as my sister has bought a 9 week old mostly black German Sheperd! She's very outgoing, highly exciteable but very, very obedient even at 9 weeks.

My favorite breed is the siberian husky because on almost every quiz they are best suited to me ahah, j/k.. I love them because they are smart, cute, no two sibes look the same, their pretty blue eyes and I could just get lost in them, I love how they are so independent, and they are also difficult to train and I love the challenge. I believe that Tikeya *my siberian* is perfect for me, and I hope to one day get another siberian husky.

The mixed breed, best of many breeds, easier to train, generally more healthy. You have to go by more than what looks cutest to you though or by somebodies favorite. You have to consider your lifestyle and the breed before choosing which dog is best for you. There are many breed selector quizes online to help you out.

BORDER COLLIES!!! They are smart, intelligent, sweet, affectionate, eager-to-please, energetic, great dogs for kids, and FUN!!!! I LOVE my Border, Blaze, who is also a great guard dog, and loves me SOOO much!!! I don't know what I would do without him!!!!

My Favorite breed of dog is Labrador Retriever because they are cute, smart, gentle, playful, and loyal.

[swimma253]

My favorite breeds are a Alaskan Husky, and a Dachshund...

I love Huskies because they are so gentle and friendly... and they just love to play and they are beautiful dogs.

I love Dachshunds because they are just the cutest little things! And they have good personalities! (my dachshund puppy is quite a little ham for the camera!)

just testing my signature

Well perhaps I am biased cause I own a GSD + but I luv German Shepherds, they are so loyal, quick & intelligent plus full of fun as well.

Sash might only be part GSD but she has all the qualities of a pure bred & since having her my luv for the breed has grown.

I also luv the Malinois (Belgian Shep) for the same reason (we think Sasha is GSD +Mal) and they are also clever quick etc etc .......only disatvange is their high "drive" you can't tire them out!!!!!!

PS anyone on here know or own a Malinois?
