I grew up with Terrier/Poodle mixes, from the pound. They're loving and just perfect!

I prefer big dogs and dogs that dont shed!  That limits me but I would have to say that the Giant Schnauzer is my favorite!

I'm not particular to any certain breed.
I would say I'm actually more of a cat person - but I fell head over heels for my current dog, an American Cocker Spaniel, as soon as I laid eyes on his picture. Not sure that I particularly want more of the breed (I've only ever seen them from afar, not even petted another one), but I biasedly love his personality and *very* soft fur.


Before him, we've mainly owned mixes, of small and medium size, but I do remember some Rotts and a greyhound when I was a kid.
Oh for a short time we had Pekingese, and I would consider getting more of them. I do quite like them, not sure why though. Just the overall package and the history, I guess.
 
My twin loves Chinese Crested dogs, and has owned three plus mixes in the past.
Dachshunds are great, but they always seem to latch on to other members of the family more, even when I obtained them for myself! So wieners (dogs) don't seem to care for me much :P (Just have to stick with my *bleep*-er spaniel I suppose.)
My brother has mentioned an interest in Corgis, but I don't think he's ever actually seen one in real life - he just likes the look of them.
My mother has always been interested in the very smallest and the very largest of dogs (the big ones for the appearance of "needing to watch out for", and the little ones because they actually would attack someone lol) - she'd love a Great Dane or a "King's Dog", which is some mix of a Great Dane, Irish Wolfhound, Saint Bernard or something lol. Something massive, anyways. She also likes the looks of Scottish Terriers and Yorkies. And the look of terrier mixes in general, sometimes with Chihuahua thrown in for the eyes and rounded head.
My older sister has a Newfoundland, and he's nice, although a tad drooly (not as much as they can be, though). The drooly bits of most large breed dogs is what sorta turns me off lol As well as the fact I don't like being jumped on.


My brother just picked up a Basset Hound! To go with their Bloodhound, I guess :p He's very cute.

My favorite breed is the Miniture Schnauzer.  They are the best.  Easy to house break, they don't bark much, loveable, and very loyal.  I have had 3 of them.  My last one lived to be 15-1/2 yrs old and I just had to put him down in Jan of this year.  They are fantastic dogs.

If size were not an issue I would go with a Black Lab.  A black lab can grow to the size of a small moose--but I've never met a more affectionate kind of dog in my life.  I'm also partial to bassetts, because I love how they can look so sad at one end and wag so happy at the other end.

I am a serious pitbull owner and supporter. If you love a very loyal and ready to please dog, you should read up on the breed and what is needed as an owner before you accept the responsibility of owning a Pitty. They can be a handful but will also give you a great lifetime of pleasure and love... :thumbsup:

Toy poodle. We had one many years ago. She was the runt so stayed very small. We had her for 13 years and it broke all our hearts when she got sick and passed on.

It is very hard to choose what type of dog is my favorite. If I were to choose, I would probably choose a husky. I really like how they're white and grey. They look like friendly wolves to me for some reason. I like how they are used for sleds as well. I would love to try that some day. ;D

My favorite is the Chesapeake Bay Retriever. I have had two - my first was a huge Light Dead Grass male weighing in at 125 lbs ideal weight.  He was huge and a big sweetie.  I rescued him at 5 years of age and he passed away at age 11years old.  My second Chesapeake is dark dead grass. He's a bit smaller and weighs about 90 lbs.  He's currently 6 years old.  I'm attaching a picture for anyone who doesn't know what the Chesapeake Bay Retrieves looks like.
