Very hard questions because they are all so cute.  I have had Labradors all my life.  However, about six years ago I adopted a chocolate lab from a rescue organization and since then, I try to be an advocate for adopting from shelters which often means mixed breeds.  I now have a strange looking shepherd, hound looking dog and a black, lab-kinda-pit-bull girl.   Along with my choc. lab, they are all wonderful dogs and I wouldn't trade any of them for anything.  BTW did you know that large, black dogs are always the hardest to adopt once they get into a shelter or rescue?

So, can't give you a definite answer, just be sure to love the puppy to death.  And I mean literally.  Please love and shelter him or her until the end.  Maybe you could post a picture for us when he or she arrives!

There are too many to pick! I can’t have them all. My first choice would be a Pembroke Welsh Corgi (stubby legs with cute tush).  :heart: :heart: :heart: My second choice would be a Siberian Husky (their magnetic eyes) :heart: :heart:, and third would be a Collie (agility)  :heart:. I like them for their agility, devotion and loyalty as most dogs already are.  :dog:

Which breed do you have in mind? Try to get one from a reputable shelter if possible. Many dogs really need a good home. Be sure to do some research on the kind of dog breed you want that is suitable for you and your family.  :)

i like cocker spaniels because they seem to be
very obedient, patient, and all around calm dogs.
they're also very pretty, in my opinion...

i'm partial to dachshunds because i had one for
about 10 years growing up. they're cuddly lap
dogs and can be fiesty and fun to play with...
i think they're so darn cute, too.

hmm, on the other hand i really don't like jack
russel terriors. although loyal, they're way too
hyper for me... friends/family of mine have had
them and they're just annoying! that's just been
my experience, no offense to any owners.

Well, if I had to pick only one breed, I'd have to say Pug. I love their little smooshed faces!  ;D I hear they are very loyal as well. My other top breeds are Maltese, which my parents have 2 of and they are just so small and precious, and the American Bulldog.

I'd have to say huskies.
If I could fence in my yard and spend enough time with one,
I would get one in a heartbeat.

I want to get a puppy and there are so many of them to choose from and they are all so adorable, which is your pick and why?

The best thing to do is not look for the one you think is the cutest but look at which one matches your lifestyle. Take into consideration their energy level (some breeds require much more exercise than others), their grooming demands, etc.

Personally I love boxers. They are adorable, hilarious, protective, full of energy and love to cuddle. I have two rescued ones. One is five months old, the other is nine months old. Being on FusionCash helps me keep them healthy and fed!

We currently have a Beagle and a Boxer.  Both are great dogs, but the Beagle can be very chatty, as most Beagles are.  I grew up with Poodles before moving out.  They are very smart, good dogs.  Only problem is they need grooming as they have hair instead of fur.  Unless you're the type of person who doesn't mind dog grooming, it's an added expense several times a year over dogs with fur.

I've had mutts...I like getting shelter dogs.  I also had a dachshund mix until my daughter was born.  We're now considering getting a Beagle for her when she turns three a year from now.  I think the breed of dog depends on your living situation...that, and you'll know your dog when you see it.

We have a weimaraner, he'll be 1 year the 17th. The breed is very arrogant and stubborn but VERY loving and protective. Sye is my baby now for sure, but the lab I had several years ago was the best dog ever, unfortunately he got lymphoma and passed away at 9 years old.

Papillons!! They're so gorgeous! :]

You should go to an animal shelter, though, and adopt a dog from there. And never buy from pet stores.

I love all dogs, I have a Pit Bulldog Blue and white. Now my son has moved back home now I have a red pit bull. The reason I say I have a dog is because the children don't take care of them I wind up doing all the thing for them. We got the first for my 16 year old daughter from the shelter, he was 3 weeks old and my son got the other one from his friend. Now I take care of both, and them too.  :peace:

I love my German Shepherds!  They are the most obedient, loyal, and faithful dogs out there!  They are very smart and great with families, plus they're super obedient, so you can train them to do just about anything. If you have the room for one of them, I highly recommend that breed.

Always go for the shelter puppies! Mutts need love too! I watched this program on PBS about the way "breed" dogs have changed over the last 100 years and it's enough to turn your stomach to see what people have done to such beautiful animals in order to make them look the way they think is best. Genetic deformities have become the norm to the detriment of a dog's health. I say down with kennel clubs! Give me a mutt with a long and happy life!  :dog:

I love almost all bred of dog. I don't think I have a fav. But at the time we own a pit and a jack russel. But I think the best dog we had was a mixed bred mutt. But I liked to play fetch with him. The pit will set, lay and shake hands.  So for me I like all dogs.

Either Cocker Spaniels or Labradors. I had both and they are obedient , friendly, good with kids, calm, and easy to train.

It shouldn't be what we think it should be what breed u find urself more compatible with becuase  some breeds  require more care than others. But my fav is the pitt bull and the Boxer  my dog is a mix of both which is pure coincidence  ;D
Title: Re: What is your favorite Dog Breed?
Post by: cubarican210 on September 08, 2010, 02:17:14 pm
I think pure breeds are great but I find that dogs that are mixed breed turn out to be better for some reason. If I had to get a pure breed dog it would probably be a Yorkie. I love those dogs. They are so darn cute and small. I really don't like huge dogs. If I did have to get a huge dog I would get a Golden Retriever or a Labrador. They are so friendly, cuddly, lovable, loyal and smart.
