What breeds do you not like?

[Sirrahsim]

There is not a breed I don't like. There may be some I wouldn't want to own, but none that I don't like. I have a feeling this will be the main answer you will get. And don't be surprised if this thread does get heated.

^ I agree completely

I do NOT like the dog in front of me when I am at a rescue / shelter.

At least, I keep TELLING myself that, so I can get out of there without bringing another one home!

Not liking a breed, and not being able to own that breed are different. There are quite a few breeds I can't own, just don't have the yard, life style, whatever. I can't think of a breed I do not LIKE, however.

There are individual dogs of these breeds that I have met and liked but overall I do not like:
Pugs- imo they are the ugliest creatures on the planet (I even think my boston terrier is ugly but she is a very sweet dog) They also have so many health problems with their eyes and breathing.
Bulldogs- same thing
German shepherds - well the show type with lots of angulation in their back legs it looks horrific and unnatural to me when their hind end is almost touching the ground.
Really any small fluffy dog...I really hate the hair and upkeep but some I have met are sweet...
This may seem very strange since I have 2 mixes of this but I do not like Labrador retrievers they are just so overbred

you don't like goldens? I love them! there isn't a certain breed I don't like or really care for - to me I don't judge by breed just by personality. so I love them ALL!

[buttercup132]

you don't like goldens?

I like the well trained well bred ones.
Working with them so much and seeing so many crazy terribly bred ones have made me dis like them alot.

I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of Shar Peis. I think their "hippo heads" aren't very appealling. I don't like the fleshiness of their faces, it just grosses me out. Not to mention, I have never met a Shar Pei who was even remotely friendly... not even a PASSIVE one. I do think they are adorable as puppies, though! C:

I could name tons of breeds that I dislike... but only the poorly-bred ones. I have met more aggressive and/or rude Labs than any other breed. It is rare to ever meet a polite Lab, and I dislike the complete lack of control that most Lab owners have over their dogs. However, it's always ok, because they might go racing around flinging their body at people/other dogs, and completely ignoring their screaming owner... but they're friendly Labs... so it doesn't matter! Right? No. The well-bred and well-trained Labs I have met were great! I feel so bad for where this breed is going due to popularity, and I feel bad for the people that truly love them, but I definitely don't dislike the breed.

So, in general, I don't dislike any breed. I do dislike what people have done to some breeds, though.

i would have to say these are my least fave breeds:

any "toy" breed: you know the ones that you can put in a purse to take anywhere?? how mean is that??

anything with the word "doodle" in it kinda strikes me as odd too ???

poodles: to fluffy and girlie for me

i guess i am more of the get down and dirty kind of breeds like Labs, goldens, German shepherds,collies.. kinda girl. the ones that really love to ruff house and play hard kinda thing, but, can also be a couch/lap kinda dog ( LMAO Thunder thinks he is a LAP dog, i keep telling him he is a LAB dog LMAO

but, hey that is just me and that is OK. i'm not one to get a dog based on what makes ME look good, i base it on what makes me look TOUGH ***GRRRR**

I love all dogs, but some breeds are not right for me.

It's some owners I really don't like.

[wolf_Q]

There are a lot breeds that I personally would never have, for various reasons. Actually there's very few breeds that I feel are right for me. However I wouldn't say there's any breed that I do not LIKE. I don't feel like its right to lump an entire breed of dog into one catagory because they vary so much. As a groomer I can tell you there's certain breeds of dogs that are often difficult/nippy, but there's also some of the same breed that are sweet and gentle. I could definitely name dog breeds that I would not get as a companion for myself, but I'm not going to name any that I do not like.

"Designer Breeds" - But it's not the dog itself that I don't like, it's the ignorant people that buy them and the heartless & money hungry people that breed them that I don't like.

[loveallfurryfriends]

My thought is that there are some breeds that I don't think suit me. I have had different breeds (mixes) over the years, and I guess it's always about the individual dog. Smokey is a poodle/maltese mix, and I don't think either of those 2 breeds are my favorite-----but I wouldn't trade him for the world.

Not very, how is it mean?
Most dogs want more then nothing but to be with their owners I think if they actually got that chance they would love it. I used to bring my bunnies out all the time shopping and they loved it. I did it with my kitten too.

LOL i am talking about the ones who carry them in little tiny purses, dress them up and take them EVERYWHERE.. they try to make them more of an accessory then a pet. in your case i see no problem, in fact here in Bountiful we see pets being taken into stores that should not have them in there, however, the owners of the stores are very cool about it.
