Favorite Breed Group in Dogs?

[theterrierman]

Pretty self explanatory, just your favorite type of dog - not breed, but more breed grouping, like Sighthounds or Herding. I guess mine would have to be Terriers, just because I love their zest for life, their size, and their cute wiry/shaggy coats.

[xcolbi]

I love herding dogs. :D

[critter crazy]

Working dogs for me!;)

[BC_MoM]

Herding dogs! :D

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I love both the sporting group and herding group equally. :)

[chocolatepuppy]

Herding :D

[Zippy]

I picked toy because I love the toy poodle.But I really am a lover of the good old mutts.
Mutts all the way!

[DrKym]

Working Dog of course! Gotta love a dog that can help carry my camping gear.......of course said same dog eats the trail mix behind my back :rolleyes:

[Chilli]

I've always pretty much liked the non-sporting breeds. =]
Though terrier comes in a close second!

[Suki Wingy]

I'm pretty much all over the map. I picked Non-Sporting because it's my favorite to watch, plus my favorite breed's in there.

[Giselle]

Sighthound, by far, but Pekes are my heart breed. I don't like most other Toy breeds, though. =/ I'm a big dog person really!

[Marigold2]

I like the larger dogs. They are gentle, intelligent and calmer then the smaller breeds.

[Danegirl2208]

Definatly Working :)

[lute]

WORKING! :D Great danes in particular. Sibes, saint bernards, dobermans, boxers, and malamutes are my other faves.

[cassiesmom]

Any dog that barks, arfs, or woofs (or any variation) is good for me. Seriously, though, I like the hounds because they use their canine senses of sight and smell to such great ability. I also like the Non-Sporting group because it's so diverse!

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I really just like dogs in general. I think if I had to choose a group to be my favorite though it would probably be terriers. I have 2 terriers now, a miniature pincher and a terrier mix (I don't know exactly what is in her, but she has the heart of a terrier), I see a lot of dachshund in her and perhaps some jack russell.

[Kalei]

I like the working group and I think that includes great danes, huskys, and german sheperds and I also love the herding group (collies and Borzois, I think Borzois are in that group..not sure)

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

(collies and Borzois, I think Borzois are in that group..not sure)

The Borzoi is actually sighthound, not a herding breed. :)

[binka_nugget]

I love the herding group.. all of my favorite breeds are in that group (Belgians, Shelties, Collies, BCs..)

[KittyGurl]

Herding dogs for me! :D

[Felicia's Mom]

My favorite is the Herding Group.

[GreyhoundGirl]

Woot! Woot! sighthounds! :D

[Flatcoatluver]

Sporting! English setters and flat-coats are the best in the group. ;)

[Argranade]

Hearding,

Collies are the best ..but I also adore German Shepards lol.

[The Cat Factory]

My favorite is the herding group. :)

[mike001]

Love the working german shepherds. But I think any dog would melt my heart. :)

[cocker_luva]

I love all working dogs, i love the big, bulky dogs!

Sporting/Gundogs. I also love a lot of Working breeds.

[Kalei]

The Borzoi is actually sighthound, not a herding breed. :)

[k9krazee]

[borzoimom]

Woot! Woot! sighthounds! :D
Me too- easy to live with - no barking, elegant and docile.. Personally- I think the sighthounds are the best kept secret.. lol..

[pessimisaurus]

sighthound & herding for sure

[GreyhoundGirl]

I love all working dogs, i love the big, bulky dogs!

Wow, have I been around greys and whippets too long or is that dog huge?! :eek: It doesn't even look that tall, but look at the bult and the width of the legs. :eek: And yet it looks like it is at a perfect wieght. It looks really healthy. I can't imagine what an overwieght one would look like.

I think everydog looks big too moi these days. The first thing I noticed about 8 below. "wow, look at the width of those dog's legs."

haha, I've gone crazy! :p

[applesmom]

My favorites are the pointing breeds, including the standard poodle who isn't even considered a pointing breed any more.

Their extreme athleticism, boundless energy, eagerness to please, trainability, adaptability, versatility, and the ability to think on their own are all endearing traits to me. These same traits can also be extremely challenging to a first time owner. ;)

[CathyBogart]

You know..I'm not a big fan of a lot of the terriers, but both of my all-time favorite breeds are terriers. :)

[Taz_Zoee]

I voted herding dog, since I have one. I'm sure if/when I get a different dog I'd like that group. LOL:D

[Twisterdog]

I love the terriers, of course. But I also like non-sporting, I think it is by far the most interesting, diverse and entertaining group to watch.

[cloverfdx]

Herding and Terriers are equal first ;).

[JenBKR]

I like big mutts :D

I don't think I could pick a favorite group, I am just a fan of dogs, period.

[IrishSetterGurl]

i like collies cause i think they are very cutie and loving dogs!

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

My favorite is the working group. I love big breeds, especially the Great Danes and Mastiffs. I don't think I will ever have another giant breed, unless we buy our own house. I don't ever want to have to go through re-homing ever again. :(

[Saint]

Terriers only cause we own a scottish terrier.

[Sophist]

I love all working dogs, i love the big, bulky dogs!

http://www.garroway-bullmastiffs.com/MainPic1.jpg


Agreed! I love, love, love huge working dogs. Any kind of mastiff, especially!


However, I had to pick scent hounds cuz I could never be happy without a beagle in my life.

[Ceph]

I am a herding girl myself, and how could you resist this face?

We have had herding dogs for many years. The Australian Cattle Dogs are the best for herding cattle & ours loves to go hunting. They need to be used for what they are bred up for though because they are high energy. My husband takes Baxter to town for short trips & always has to stop & buy him a cookie. When they stop to do the banking he gets a doggie treat there also. I had an Australian Shepherd for over 14 years & loved the heck out of him. He was so smart & would retrive tennis balls, roll a barrel with his front paws. He was loyal to the end. It was hard on me when he passed away. I love to watch the herding dogs at the state fair. They have herding classes with sheep & cattle. The owners use voice commands & some use a whistle. Those dogs are so hyped up & ready to do their jobs. :)
