I don't have a least favorite breed at all.
I don't get along with every person I meet. I get along with every dog I meet. I love every dog I have met so far which is a lot. I got bitten by a dalamation when I was small. Do I hate the breed? No! I would love to have one.
Every dog is special and every dog is different. Just because a person had a bad experience with ONE dog of ONE breed does not mean all the dogs of the breed are bad.

I don't *hate* any specific breed. However probably because I have never been personally aquainted with one I am a bit intimidated by Dobermans and Jack Russel Terriers. :o I understand that they can be very sweet, but I guess I just need to meet one in person.
Don't you mean "dogson"??? :DQuote:

Since I'm new here and lurk most of the time and I have hesitated to post much because I have a maltese(the dreaded tiny foo-foo dog)I'm probably older than most if not all of you but I just want to say that over the the past 40 years I have had a variety of breeds in my life and they all held a special appeal to me. I have had cockers, shelties, goldens, german shepherds, mutts and so on. Most of the time we have had big dogs but I finally told my husband that I wanted a lap dog, he threw a fit because he likes big dogs. The reason I wanted a tiny dog was because I'm at an age where I needed something that was easier for me to handle(strength) the benefits are that I can take him with me more, I have even taken him into stores shopping. He eats less, poops less, I can walk and carry him with ease. He fits my life stage. In the past I alway prefered long haired dogs and wasn't attracted to the short hair type but as I age I have realized that my list of dogs I find appealing has grown. Dogs that I would have thought were unattractive 10 years ago I now look at them and actually see the beauty in the unique appearance of each breed. I find myself thinking "what a beautiful Saluki, Greyhound, Boxer, Crested, etc" all of which in the past held no appeal for me. Yes, I have been bitten by a Boston Terrier and a Dachshund and thought I disliked those breeds but have since met other Boston's and Dachshunds that I thought were sweet and cute. My cousin was almost killed by a chow about 40 years ago and I thought I hated chows but my sister-in-law had one that was a sweetheart. I have learned that it's the individual dog or owner that forms our opinions. Bottom line is that years from now you may find that your list of dogs that you like or dislike will change. I love them all and hope I have the time to enjoy many more. Looking into those brown (or blue) eyes just melt my heart.
this is my first post, but I pretty much agree with these choices.Quote:

cocker spaniels. I have had them befor and they were impossible to house train and they ate everything. *the onse I had anyways*
min pin, chihuahuas, greyhounds, whippets, or spaniels.
umm.... Let me think.. I would never get a shih tzu or a lhasa apso, poms, shelties, poodles *of any kind*, because they all need to much grooming.
, bernese mountain dogs, saint bernards, malamutes, great danes. Because they dont live long and they are too big.
I love all dogs I dont have I hate..... I think!
I don't hate any breeds, but breeds that do not fit my lifestyle right now are: poodles, shih-tzu's lhasa apso, terriers. They are just not the right breeds for me right now.:) As far as fav breeds...
1.Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
2.American Pit Bull Terrier
3.Border Collie
And all mutts!!!!!!!!!!:D
I don't have a least favorite breed.
I dont have a least fave breed either!
I don't have a least fav breed, I LOVE big dogs (the bigger the better) but I could also one day see myself with a mini Yorkie!!!!
Hey....if they have fur....I love them!
Dogluvrforevr, hope u don't mind me asking, but what breed is your fur baby? He looks like a Toller, my fav breed, I've never met anyone who owns one because they are so rare around here....:)
There are some breeds I really must protest in the name of. First of all, my cousin has a lhasa named Buddy and he is the sweetest thing in the world, also, Chows? My babysitter has a chow and shes like my best friend. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe its not the breed that is mean or cruel or bad or nasty, It could be the people who raise them.:D
I love all dogs I dont have a least fave!
Thank you. That is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me here without having to have a discussion first. I thank you. and Tiffany thanks you too.
What a dear, sweet, kind person you are. What you have said should be put on a poster...for all the World to read. As, no truer words have ever been spoken! ! ! And yes, I have had quite a few poodles, but not one was the same.......one was a nasty little beast, but he was a rescue, and had been hurt.
I am so glad I have had the pleasure of meeting you. Please, with all your knowledge, with so many dogs, do offer your thoughts on any subject.......and yes, there will be some who don't like what you say, but there will be more who do.
You are so welcome!
I love every single breed. They are all unique in their own way. :)
I am so glad someone else agrees w/ me!
I dont like Bedlington terriers whit show ? (cant find the word in my brain=)) coat....Quote:

golden retrivers-it wouldn't be the first breed i choose.
that's pretty much it. just thought it might be an intresting subject.
And Parson Jack Russell Terriers is dangerus... I have been biten of many JRs in my life :(
My friend id so weird she HATES the Kerry Blue Terrier because it won the shows in so many citie, it wasnt hte same one. THat is like the dumbest excuse I have ever heard. You know that the type of dog it doesnt matter at shows it is the showing of that specific breed! Some people dont know how to judge and animal.
To Mich ....My pleasure ............. and I see you are a fellow Aussie!!!! :D
HuH?
golden retrivers
grrrr :mad:Quote:

I dont think they really have to explain why, they just dont like the breed,
I dont much like goldens either :o, just because they are sooooo common and everyone here has them. I just love my sibe, I wouldent mind owning a chinesse crested one day ;) I am seriouse they are so cool lookin hahahaha..
I am more interested in breeds that are less common around where I live like the siberian husky, chinisse crested, klee kai, ect ;).
lol, no no no. I was just joking. ;) People are intitled to have their own opinions. As people on here know, I'm crazy about the golden retriever breed...thas why I asked, whats not to like? :p ;)Quote:

i don't have a least favorite breed, but there are breeds that i would never own. one of those breeds are border collies, i just don't see myself owning one:)
I relly want a Border Collie but they are to hyper, and arnt ment to live in a apartment really.
Also "tikeyas_mom" what i ment is they should just vote, and not say those kinds of things out loud.
Sorry for the confusion:confused: .
I think my least favorite breed is a german shepard, I know most people like them but I wouldn't want one. Also rottweilers. I like big dogs, even though I just got a shihapoo. I never thought I would like a small dog, but she has a way of taking over, and you find yourself letting her.:)
My friend wouldnt like you she loves GDS's! lol
I like all dogs
welcome to PT! have fun!
Hi all im new here!
I also love GSD's!
have have two and more dogs!
i dont hate any breed but cant see myself owning Dachshund or any form of terriers!
I love big dogs!
Delcey and co
i love dogs that dont bark. Our labs are guard dogs, and bark at specific things.
One breed Im not too fond of, is poodles, shelties, terriers. I like the big dogs.
Gee, I'm glad no one in this thread actually hates any breed!
Poodles do have to be groomed, but it's less work than constantly cleaning up fur. Not every dog owner has a big spread for their pup. Those of us who live in apartments love a dog that doesn't shed. :)
I adore all dogs! I've never hated a dog that I've met. But, some dogs just aren't suited for me. I'd love to have a sibe but the prey drive just isn't for me as I'd love to own cats and little critters one day. I LOVE big dogs. I don't see myself getting a dog under 15 inches but who knows?
Beddiz,
I just read, how you didn't like your own Bedlington. Please tell me why???? As , my one and only, was the love of my life, she was a cuddle-pup, and protector, and a childrens toy....but she did llike to dig. When she died in my arms, I lost the will to live, had a break down.....all because I had lost her.
So Biddez..........please tell me why you don't like you Beddlington?
regards Mich.
