Oh what wonderful stories and pictures you all have. I have been raised around German Shepherd's so they are pretty much the only breed I'm familiar with. However, I'm a member of our local dog park and I've been fortunate enough to meet several different breeds of dogs these past two years. German Shepherds are still my favorite, but I definitely adore every dog on earth! What in the world would we do without the unconditional love our dogs give us each and every day? I truly hope that I never have to find out. Thanks to every one of you for replying to this Thread, please continue to share your pictures and stories because I definitely love to hear them.
