Favorite Types Of Dogs

[Elkwatcher]

I am very sorry for your loss. To lose a dog is (like) losing a family member.
Kody reached quite an age ...
Lovely pictures, he obviously had a sweet character.

Thank you Cold&warm he was very sweet, I will have another when the right dog comes to me.. probably another border collie or cross as the herding breeds are the dogs that hold my heart.

Relatively recently I discovered agility competitions, and that border collies are practically always among the winners. I live in a part of the world where there are no border collies - can you imagine such a thing?
Here dogs are a status symbol more than anything else. Not always, though. Friends of mine had a "pastore abbruzzese", a sheep dog from the Abruzzo (mountainous) region. Very very large and yellowish white. We always had Alsacians. Now that I think of it, also a herding breed. Take care. Looking forward to a future picture of a happy you & dog...

Corgies are also a herding breed, who would have thought... That's a promise@Cold&warm.

Rescued is my favorite breed

I love american Staffordshire terriers.

My baby was a papillon and the “breeder” claimed “purebred” but had no papers. She was 10# with shorter fur and loved people, so she probably wasn’t a purebred. So I can’t say I love papillons, but she was my favorite breed, whatever she was.

I have gone back and forth, but I think I’ll try a border collie when I have my own house. They’re beautiful and smart.

I have so many favourites! I've worked with dogs professionally since 2017 so I really see all sides of all breeds, and that has ruined some for me, but others I adore anyways. My heart dog is a total mutt, but I love breeds that are similar to her. I am very interested in someday owning border collies, german shepherds, beaucerons, and oddly enough papillons! I love all high-drive, handler-focused dogs, so basically anything in the working, herding, or sporting group is right up my alley. As much as I like them, I will never own a terrier or a hound! I compete in agility with my mutt (pit bull/lab/border collie/german shepherd/boxer/rottweiler, by the way!) and I definitely want to continue that with future dogs.

adopt OR shop, but do it responsibly!

During strict lockdown only supermarkets and shops selling cleaning products were open. I saw a type of dog I had never met before. It emanated strength and willpower. Asked of course what it was. "Corsican". I would feel safe everywhere if I had a dog like that...

 

[butterflybetta]

I love Dalmatians, Australian Shepards, German Shepards, Huskies, Pit Bulls, Corgies, French Bulldogs, and many other breeds (basically all dogs lol)
I’m more of a cat person tbh, but after I saw a video of a French Bulldog skateboarding I really want to rescue one and hopefully have a new skating pal hilarious
My mom also loves the breed and I’ve done some research on them and it seems to be a perfect fit for my whole family! ...except my dad... he doesn’t like French Bulldogs for whatever reason

When I was getting a dog I wanted a Shiba Inu or MiniPin. After two not so great pet store visits I ended up at the Wisconsin Humans Society where they happened to have Rat Terrier pups. You don’t find puppies often at the shelter but apparently they had just bought out a huge puppy mill to rescue the dogs so it was kinda fate. She’s been great. Easy to groom relatively short coat, shedding not too bad....very loyal. They are very smart and protective. She had had health issues pop up but just in the last year really as she is 12 going on 13 in fall. I think they are under valued breed and not as commonly available.

Can you be seen competing on YouTube (if waving goodbye to your anonimity is not a problem...)?

No, not yet! My dog's only 3, so she only started training a year and a half ago. We just started competing before the pandemic hit

Now that I'm dogless .. any dog that comes close enough gets a "bicky" and a photo.
This is "Kilo"

 

[Dippiedee]

I love german shepherds, Huskies and rottweilers but all 3 are far too big for me. I would love to have a border collie, or a whippet. I cant adopt a dog from a rescue though as they wont let dogs go to households with small children and within a 100 mile radius of me, since the beginning of the pandemic, its impossible to buy a dog for cheaper than £1,500 and I cant afford that in one go. So it's unlikely I'll be able to get one.

I’m dogless now also. Every so often, the urge strikes to inquire about any foxhounds needing a home. But we are so busy right now, it wouldn’t be fair to the hound. Sigh.

 

[Koneko]

I love Pugs and German Shepherds. I currently have 2 Pugs and 1 German Shepherd.

 

[BigManAquatics]

I am sucker for the sad hound dog eyes and big floppy ears. If i ever get a dog most likely will be a bloodhound or basset hound

 

[FishGirl115]

I love all big dogs. Not a fan of tiny dogs.
This is my Belgian Malinios, Elsha. She's 4

 

[kattiq]

I'm like FishGirl, I prefer big dogs over small yappy ones.
I have a golden retriever and a border collie mix- both rescues aka the best breed

Levi 12yo Golden, Mae- 2.5yo BC mix

My favorite type of dog is a mixed shi tzu/long hair Dotson. The sweetest, loyal and loving breed.
