If you are not compatible with a certain breed, it would be incredibly irresponsible to go out and get that breed. It wouldn't be fair to dog or owner, and both would be miserable. I love all breeds of dogs too, but I wouldn't be able to cope with living with some dogs. One of the main reasons dogs are brought to shelters is because of compatability issues, and I certainly wouldn't take that road. Hope I didn't insult..

I agree!

Golden Retrievers were mentioned a couple of times, and although I could never see why someone would not want to own a Golden Retriever, I'm not really offended by it. But, I could see why some would take it offensively. I assume these people have done some sort of research on the breeds they say they would never really like to own, and that's why they have their reasonings for it, be it the breed's personality, grooming requirements, activity level, etc.
