    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.

    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!

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

    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!

    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.

    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)

    The Borzoi is actually sighthound, not a herding breed.

    I voted herding dog, since I have one. I'm sure if/when I get a different dog I'd like that group. LOL
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    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.
