When it comes to favorite breeds, for me it has always been German Shepherds and Huskies. I also love terriers and the Shiba Inu (native Japanese dog breed). Growing up, I had a German Shepherd named Jessie, who was a puppy when I was a baby. We did everything together. Of course, when she died, I was heartbroken. So it's always been on my mind to get another German Shepherd. That said, since I live in Tokyo, Japan, big guard dogs are not really that welcome in society yet. Rather, everything is minuscule. Being here though, I've fallen in love with the native dog breeds and how quirky they are.

My second dog was a black American Cocker Spaniel. She was amazing! So friendly and playful. And boy could she snore! She later developed hip dysplasia, which I'm told is common for purebreds. That's one reason I don't do purebreds anymore. But that cocker so impressed my mom hat she and my sister later adopted a buff Princess Cocker. Sadly, that breed was created to protect princesses, so it didn't socialize as well as we would have liked outside a limited circle. But in her little circle, she was loving, playful and loved to travel. She would also bark an alert when my mom deviated from an established traffic route between her house and my sister's or the grooming parlor or vet's office. High maintenance with their long coat and floppy ears, but still a noble, gentle and beautiful breed, cocker spaniels.

[USER=7]@xTinx[/USER] I had friends that had an Akita and they are beautiful dogs. A little scary at first but very sweet once you get to know them. I have also known someone who had a Mastiff and what a big teddy bear she was. Amazing how big they get. My sister used to have 3 Keeshonds and they were very nice. Her female one was a sweetheart and I loved her. I still miss her because she was such a sweetie. When my sister would leave for work, I would have to rock with her so she would not cry. Pitiful.

Oh, yes, I love Akita Inus. They're really loyal, very perceptive dogs (the original breed that is). I remember Hachiko, the Akida dog that continued to wait for his master by the train station even though the master had long since died. That's very sweet of you to take care of your sister's dog whenever she's away. My only worry with big dogs is that they have a shorter life span compared to smaller breeds. Their weight often takes a toll on their bodies. Hopefully, with proper care, we can outwit biology.

We already have my favorite breed of dog. I love shitzu's. They are such loving hyper dogs. Our peachy has never hurt a soul and has always been sweet to me. When she was a puppy she would sleep at my feet and even til today she has the habit of falling asleep on my feet or sandals. But there are other breeds that intrigue me.

My favourite breed will always be a Samoyed

They just always look so happy! I love them! These guys are so sweet. I had a little girl after I left university. Sweet girl. Broke my heart when I couldnt keep her in my current apartment. Now she enjoys getting grass stains and chasing butterflies with my parents on their farm with several other dogs.

The one breed that made me love dogs was actually a Poodle, I didn't liked it at first because it looked kinda dumb to me, I am a pretty tall guy and taking him out for a walk was embarrassing, the I realized he was just like me, pretty much like having a pet with the personality you want - that dog was his own man. To these day i haven't had another Poodle but its still my favorite.

Out of all of the dogs that I've had through my life I think that my favorite breed is the one I have now which is a Cane Corso. The breeds I have had are Doberman, Rotty, and Cocker Spaniels. I have experience with other breeds as well through other families. My Cane Corso though is very loyal to me and very loving. She always wants to cuddle up and has to sleep with me and usually hogs the whole bed up lol. I'm not a big fan of really small dogs do to issues with one in my childhood. I find them to be yippy and bitey!

I love lurchers. Over the years we've had greyhound/wolfhound/saluki crosses of different types and without exception they've been loyal and absolutely brilliant companions. They're naturally clever - though they'll look at you as if you've taken leave of your senses if you try to teach them to do tricks - and as sighthounds are excellent rabbit catchers, but they are gentle in nature and have always lived happily with children and cats in the household.

Damn, answering this question is as hard as choosing a favourite ice cream flavour.
Well, ever since I was a kid, I've loved wolf-like dogs, so Huskies and Samoyeds are obvious choices. However, as time passed, I grew fond of other breeds, like Shibas (I'm not going to hide it, the Hachiko movie played a huge role here) and Border Collies. There's just so many of them!

I love all dogs now. All of em. It doesn't matter what breed. As long as they are canine. I don't like cats. I don't know why. People think I am heartless, but have you ever looked into a cat's eyes? You look into a dog's eyes and you see only love... Okay, maybe hunger. But, whatever it is, you can tell by looking into a canine's eyes. I love all dogs. My spaniel is the best spaniel in the whole world, although he thinks I am the best spaniel - but I haven't got the heart to tell him that we're not of the same species 😛

My favourite ones are actually golden retrievers or chocolate labradors, I always had puli dogs when I was a child, but most of my friends had labradors. They are calm and kind with kids too.

I always wanted to have a choc lab, to give a best friend for my future children 🙂

My favorite breed of dog would have to be the Standard Poodle. We have one currently and he is very sweet and friendly. He has learned numerous tricks like roll-over, sit, fetch, and lay down. He makes a perfect family dog, and we love him very much.

It's so hard to choose. I've had a Dalmatian, a Rottweiler, a German Shepherd, and a Malinois, and I loved all of them. I really can't think of a favorite breed. I also love Labradors. My best bud had a black Lab and he named him Axl (in honor of GnR's frontman). For a big dog, Axl was such a sweet baby. We were really saddened when he passed. It took a while before my best friend was able to have another pet.

I adore schnauzers. I had a mini schnauzer growing up named Baxter. He was the best dog in the entire world, I love him so much. He was protective and just like one of us kids. We took him everywhere with us, camping, to the park, to the lake, to family events. He was always well behaved unless you were a mailman, that dog could smell them a mile away. He would know when they were finally on our street and he would sit in the window and wait for him. Our mailman tried making peace with him by bringing him treats, he would give him a moment of peace then go back to barking. I miss him so much.

While I also prefer to get a rescue dog instead of buying a pure bred, I do love pugs and English bulldogs! They are both so chubby and oh, the rolls! The rolls on those dogs make me squeal with delight! I just want to squeeze them until they pop!
