mine2!:) :D :p

Thanks for posting!:D :cool: :)

Yep, goldens r definatly on that list! Just by Labs! But, its so sad, Goldens and Labs are being s overbred these days, and hurting the breeds we love:(

BORDER COLLIES ARE THE BEST!!!

Shelties are not on there but i thing they will be in a couple of years

I'm glad to see that Rottweiler isn't on that list anymore.

There is always a downside to popularity. The labs and goldens are being so overbred and inbred that the gene pool is being weakened. I would rather have a dog that is NOT on that list. Although, I'm most partial to the Heinz 57 anyway.

Why aren't Shelties on any of these "most favorite" lists? They're awesome! They're incredibly smart and trainable, and so beautiful.

BoRdEr ColLiEs all tha way yo!!! I am soo glad border collies aren't up there! It would by so bad if they would be over bred. :cool:
