American Staffordshire Terriers/APBT. They're beautiful dogs but they're not for me.Most of the smaller breeds dont really fit my life style either.

I thought of the some of the others.

English Cocker Spaniels: They fit my lifestyle for the most part, but even well-bred Cockers seem to be riddled with health problems. I just hate to see my dogs sick, even if it's minor. I also like larger dogs anyway.

Irish/Irish Red&White/English/Gordon Setters: They are so frickin' beautiful! They are kinda crazy though. I'd only get one if I had tons of time to devote to training.

German Shepherd Dogs: They are all beautiful. Mandy is half GSD and has the exact personality of one. I love love love my girl, but I'd never own a GSD again unless, like with the Setters, I had a ton of time for training!

Bloodhounds: I actually don't know much about this breed, but there is a lady who breeds them that I know and I truly love her dogs. She has the most beautiful Bloodhounds I've ever seen too! I don't see them fitting my lifestyle, but maybe!

And there is more, I know it, but I can't think of them again lol.

Sarah,

I had a Gordon Setter.. he wasn't crazy at all.

He was the calmest, most loyal and loving dog I had ever owned.... *sigh*

RIP Wolfie..

Wasn't he a mix though?

All the ones I've met has either been crazy or VERY well trained. I want a "challenge" dog so-to-speak one day, and it will probably be a Setter. But for now they don't fit my lifestyle

Here's another of mine:


Dalmatian- simply because it's very hard to find a well bred Dal with a great temperment these days it seems. Another reason is their short coat, I prefer to own dogs that need grooming.

I KNOW! Newt is great, I wnat a direct decendant of him in the near future. I havn't met them but conformationally I love Signature Dalmatians, too bad she stopped breeding

I dont think there is a breed out there that i could not handle . There are certainly breeds i will never own because i am not fond of them, not because i could not handle them.

Dandie Dinmont Terriers don't fit my life style but i am willing to find activities that a lil Dandie can do safely and get involved in them, when the time comes of course.

.

well actually english setters, are a breed that always wants to please, I have have over 5 english setters in my lifetime and they were always eager to pleased and loved to cuddle, I 've had irish setters and gorden setter and their behavior wearn't great because they are clowns and don't listen. But your right irish and gorden setters are beutiful!

[wolfie]

Akitas, because they aren't good with small animals or cats. And I really like Dobies, but they have a lot of health problems from what I've read.

I'll probably stick with mutts.

[WolvesRawk]

I love Dobermans but my mom hates them.

[ParNone]

Well never say never, but these are the breeds I would likely never own, even though I really like them.

Old English Sheepdogs - Too much Grooming required

Berners - Too short of an avg life span

Huskies - Too hot where I live

Newfies - Too much Drool

A Standard Poodle, but too much grooming. And a Dachshund-I love them, but I like really active dogs that I can go out and do stuff with, plus I would worry about health problems.

Actually, Dachshunds are very active dogs and love all sorts of activities! They don't really have too many health probles that you ahve to worry about either, they can get back problems but out of all the Dachshunds I've ever known none of them ever developed any
