    Im on the same page as the last few post.

    I don't hate any breed,But there is some type's of dogs that are not ment for me to own.

    Buttercup i'm with you on the goldens,I dont hate them,In my area i bet you every second house owns one,And there is a few that dont look right,.I have seen some beautiful goldens,Just around here they look so rough!

    I have 3 different breeds,I love everyone of them,But in there time of passing i would never own the same breed again,They all fufill my needs,But i would never be able to replace them.

    The one thing that bothers me the most,I love rotti's always have,I see alot around here,they seem to be overbread also and in most cases vicious(not all but a few)My rotti was the most gentlest man around,Never seen him pulling at the lead trying to get something,He reminded me of eeyore on Winnie the Pooh..lol

    "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.

    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.

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

    i think its all in the owner!! For example, i have met a pitbull named Charlie who was completely tame and trained under his owner...the nicest dog and I could love on him all day! On the other hand, when Lydia was 3 months old, we encountered a pitbull that was NOT tame or trained, and the owner had very little control of him. He had very red angry eyes, and he kept lunging at me & Lydia, and I was *terrified* and did not trust him at all. So its not fair to say that I don't like the breed....it IS fair to say that I like the owner/training. I also know that there are some breeds that are just not right for me or my lifestyle.

    there are plenty of breeds I dont care for mainly based on their appearence...

    Borzoi-I dont understand the "regal" thing, they just look weird. I did however meet one that was a total sweety.

    Pug's and Pekeingnese-well any smashed faced breed really, drives me nutty to look at.

    Bull Terriers-sorry but I really dont understand the appeal of an egg shaped head

    Labs-too common, I HAVE met a few that I really like though

    Goldens-have yet to meet one that wasnt completly loco.

    Poodles and Chihauhaus, though I've seen some adorable chis ::Cough cough:: Chopper ::cough cough:: Joey ::Cough::. Most Chi's I've met seem to be very 'one-person' kind of dogs. And as for poodles, of which i've never met a mean one, their look just isn't what i'm into.

    I never thought I was a small dog person before bubba, I got him for my daughter. Now I totally love him and he is the sweetest little guy, don't knock it till you try it, he is a fluffly little foo foo dog

    I am really obsessed with standard poodles but the grooming thing scares me, not sure if I will ever get another dog that needs to be groomed, it is such a pain.
    don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....

    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.

    Same here. A dog is a dog, no matter the breed. Well trained dogs are
    a joy to be around.

    Or maybe they genuinely love their pets? =/ I have a friend who takes her dog everywhere (although, not in a purse. he is too heavy for that, despite being a small dog) that she can. She has lots of free time. She buys lots of clothes, keeps him on a raw diet, toys, accessories, etc... She does it all out of love.

    There are exceptions to every breed I listed, I just have no tolerence for nippy,un trained, rambuncsious dogs.

    That's what I did though, my bunnies had clothes and my cats HAVE to have clothes. I took my bunnies everywhere I went.
