    There is a huge difference. There can be a major difference in the temperament of two breeds, but races of people are all people, they aren't majorly different.

    you may be correct but back in the 'old' days that is not (unfortunately) what people believed.

    I wouldn't have a husky (or similar thick fur dog) I just don't think it is fair to have them in such a hot climate. Whenever I see one here, I feel so bad for them, but if I lived in Canada I would love one.

    Before I joined this board, I honestly have to say there were some breeds I really didn't go crazy over. After meeting dogs of all breeds here, pure and mixed, I've learned so much that I didn't know about many different dogs. Not to mention the fact that I have grown to love all the dogs here. This has resulted in a new love and understanding of all breeds.

    I've never disliked any dog but I probably wouldn't have tried owning some of them. There are still breeds I feel I wouldn't be suited to own but I'm happy to say that I now ooooh and aaaah equally over all dogs when I probably didn't in my pre-PT days.

    On a side note: Chihuahuas definitely shed Just ask Daisy-that little girl sheds enough for people to think I have a giant dog in the house Her sister sheds too.


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    Wellp.. although I am somewhat conflicted about this topic.. I'll add my .02.

    Not fond of little breeds... Smallest I'd go is a bull terrier.. Not a fan of high maintenance dogs either. Love the short hair, bully breeds... Zeke is more of J's dog.. Smaller dogs tend to be more yappy, needy, babied... (Dont get me wrong, our three are babied too... ) But thats also because of their owners.. Smaller dog = helpless... I guess is how some people see it. Picking them up, talking in cutsie voices, etc. Like my dad has a toy poodle ( manly, I know.. j/k) and it gets away with EVERYTHING.. but that's also his and his wife's doing. So I dont blame the dog solely.. but thats how it tends to work out..

    And I know a couple with 2 dachshunds that bark and bark.. so does J's Gma's dachshund. So in a way its the breed + prospective owners that = dislike for me.. if that makes sense. I love the appearance of Dachshunds.. short hair ones.. but I wouldnt want one, as its not right for me..

    So I'd have to agree with the others who have said they like all breeds but not all are right for me.. =) And I have a fondness for Bully Breeds (Esp Boxers and Bull Terriers) and Dalmatians.. (RB Pepper *sniffle*).

    Zeke [RB]: RottweilerxAustrailian Cattle Dog mix

    Perhaps next everyone can state which races of people they don't like and why? Not a good idea? Tell me, what's the difference?
    It's about dogs, but ok blow it out of porportion .

    Maybe it's just the way alot of these breeds are raised that I don't like then and the terrible breeding.
