What breeds do you not like?

[Ginger's Mom]

I like every breed of dog, as long as I am not the one that is required to care for and train it. There are breeds that I am not of the right temperament to handle. But I sure do love seeing them when someone else is handling them and taking responsibilty for their actions and behavior. Some dogs are kind of like grandchildren, they are fun to play with and spoil and then give back to their family.

Anna, I really do admire you. You are a very self-confident well-rounded person. Having said that, I believe that is the reason you can handle the dogs that you have. Let's start with Chows. As you already know, because I have told you by pm, I would LOVE to have a Chow. But, I have been told by Chow owners that they are unpredictable, and they need a strong willed owner. I do not think I could ever handle one, so I would never own one, I have to get my fix through Huney. And as to huskies, well let me tell you, I did not know they were such a difficult breed until joining Pet Talk. And I am saying this as a positive thing. First, because now I wouldn't get a dog and end up taking it to a shelter, and secondly because now I understand Husky play better at the dog park and don't find it mean or threatening, where I may have before. I think that Pet Talk has done a lot to contribute to the fact that many of us can say, there isn't any dog breed that I don't like, just some that I wouldn't own.

Well in my opinion, their is not a real breed that I don't like when it comes to personality, b/c as said before most of it depends on owners their really isn't a bad dog just bad owners, to me. Some dogs just need more work others less, if the animal isn't cared for properly then it will not behave so. Pesonaly I wouldn't own a dog with a smooshed face, nor teacups I think their too small I would be afraid that if I wasn't paying attention that it would get hurt. Over all its not the dog I don't like its what people have made it to be.
