What is your favorite dog breed?

[Shell Beau]

Putting aside how wonderful mixed breeds are, what is your favorite pure-bred?

I love the Rhodesian Ridgeback for a larger size dog. And for a smaller size, I love the Miniature Pinscher (since I own one). For a middle (kind of big) size dog, I have to go with the Airedale Terrier. But there are so many more that I love.

[jpgray]

1. Golden retriever, no contest

Great dogs, once they gnaw through a few tons of pyjamas and socks as puppies.

[Cannikin]

2. I second that

[Seabiscuit]

129. I'll third, fourth, fifth, whatever... that.

[Shell Beau]

3. They are wonderful! I had 2 back in high school.

They are the sweetest dogs. And gorgeous, too!

[Mizmoon]

32. Agreed!

I love my golden baby!

[Squatch]

4. Labrador retriever.

Especially the chocolate ones.

[Shell Beau]

8. I have had 2 black labs. They

are wonderful! I am partial to labs and golden retrievers. Beautiful, kind, loyal, funny. They have so many wonderful qualities.

[Coventina]

5. All dogs are wonderful, fascinating creatures

But I'm partial to Bullmastiffs.

The dog I own, however, is a mutt. Found her as a stray. One of the best things that has ever happened to me.


on edit: wow! This was my 4000th post! Now I have to go to school.

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Golden Retriever and Cockerspaniel

and



but beside that, I am a cat person

[billyskank]

7. Border Collie

Because they're very intelligent.

[Shell Beau]

10. Yes they are!

[billyskank]

13. And I think they're quite handsome as well.

:)

[Shell Beau]

15. They are cuties!

[ghostsofgiants]

34. Border collies are amazing...

But god damn, those things never get tired, haha. I was probably in the best shape of my life while I owned mine.

[driver8]

147. Me too...we had to put our Border Collie, Cody, to sleep about

3 months ago. He was an amazing dog and so smart. Everyone that met him, loved him. He could hike forever!

Man, I really miss him.

[progmom]

9. i loves me the lab mix mutts

[Shell Beau]

11. Very pretty dog, and of course, your son is a cutie!

[progmom]

12. the top one is a lab/golden mix

the bottom one is anyone's guess, though lab/white shephard/greyhound are often guessed.

[Shell Beau]

14. The lab/golden looks like a full lab at least from the head.

My Austrailian shep/golden mix. He's MUCH bigger now. 65 lbs.


My mini-pin and my chow/cattlehound mix!

[driver8]

148. Those are some great looking dogs!!

We adopted a shepard mix about 2 months ago from our local shelter. He is so gentle and amazing with the kids!! (main reason we got him.)

[peekaloo]

16. Cool! Before I clicked I was thinking of a Rhodesian Ridgeback my

family owned when I was young. We named him Flash because he was sleek and smart.

I also love Chocolate Labs.

[Shell Beau]

17. One day I will get one.

They are hard to find and are very expensive, but they have a Ridgeback rescue group that you can adopt them from. I have 3 dogs now, so I will have to wait b/c the hubby says no more dogs!

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

18. I loved my pit bull and would love another

[Shell Beau]

19. Aw, how cute.

My friend loved hers. Hers got stolen. She was devastated. She now has a English Mastiff/Pit Bull mix. It is called a Swinford Breed.

(he's the silver dog and is now 80 lbs.)

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

21. Wow, very pretty !!

I have not heard of a "Swinford Breed", I will have to check them out. I really like the Miniature Pinschers, too... they just seem like such happy lil guys!

:hi:

[Shell Beau]

24. It is a fairly new breed.

They get quite large. They aren't recognized by the AKC or CKC. That isn't the best pic of him, but he is very pretty. My mini-pin is a feisty little thing. She has so much personality. More than any other dog I have had or currently have. And I've had a lot.

[fudge stripe cookays]

20. My Fargles, the World's Greatest Pyrenees

I can never be without a Pyr again. Fargo is cuddly, and goofy, and an amazing watchdog. NOTHING happens in the immediate vicinity of our house without him knowing about it.

He's also a good latchkey dog. He can hang out all day waiting for his people to get home and not stress about it too much.

I adore my baby. :loveya:
FSC

[Shell Beau]

22. That is one beautiful dog. I have always thought they

were gorgeous. I would have to shave it if I had one here. The summers would be too unbearable for a dog with a coat like that.

[fudge stripe cookays]

35. We're in Texas.

And he's an inside dog. Horribly spoiled. Has his own bed, and his own room, and bones and toys galore.

He gets walkies first thing in the morning when we wake up, and walkies when we get home in the evening, and sometimes another before bedtime. He's only had a few accidents, and those were only during thunderstorms. Him HATES thunderstorms.

Life's rough for Fargs.
FSC

[Shell Beau]

39. Sounds like the life my dogs have.

We have a doggie door so they go in and out as they please. They sleep in the bed with my hubby and me. Oh such a rough life! I guess, though, if you have him in TX, I could possibly have one in MS. None of my dogs are strictly outside dogs. They have the option to be in or out at all times (unless I am mopping, then they have to stay outside until floor dries)!

[China_cat]

49. Actually, taking off the coat would be the worst thing you could do

Double coated breeds are insulated from the heat and do much better WITH their coats.

[Shell Beau]

54. Oh! I learn something new everyday!

[DIKB]

92. I LOVE those dogs.

I've been wanting to get one for a while now, along with a Newfoundland for a playmate.

[fudge stripe cookays]

95. Ah...I see you ENJOY drool.

AND wearing an extra sweater on your pants. :P

reprehensor and I considered a Newfoundland as well. We wanted to name him Gordie (nice Canadian name for a nice Canadian dog). But Pyrs are good when you're gone all day. That sold us. And I found a Pyr rescue group here in Texas.

It took me ages to get Fargo. Lots of single girl working-and-going-to-college time trapped in apartments with a cat. I wanted a dog SO bad. He's my baby.

Hope you get your furry sweetheart someday!
FSC

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. Well, now, I must put in a word for the dog we owned

When my daughters were growing up...the glorious and energetic Dalmation!

They are not for everyone...very energetic and need to run and play a lot...

BUT ours was super-smart and loving...I called her my third daughter...

They do have VERY long puppy-hoods...we did despair that she would ever grow up and get more settled down...but she did...


:bounce: :hi:

[Shell Beau]

26. They are very beautiful dogs, but yes, like you said, they aren't

for everyone. My mom was very partial to dalmations b/c she had them growing up, but my dad never wanted one (we had labs and golden retrievers). They are wonderful dogs, though.

[The empressof all]

25. Australian Terriers

Here's my bossy girl.

[Shell Beau]

27. I love scruffy little dogs. How precious.

[SW FL Dem]

67. I love terriers

I have three cairns. The biggest weighs 16 pounds, but they all have the personality of big dogs.

[The empressof all]

71. Yes my little 12 lb Lilly here

She routinely bullies my 60lb lab/dalmation mix and my 200lb husband.

I love cairns too. I've only had big dogs in the past with more docile personalities to boot. This little one has been and continues to be a real challenge for us. She's two now and still needs watchful eyes.

[Wcross]

28. Bloodhounds and Bluetick heelers are cool. n/t

[Shell Beau]

33. I have a heeler mix, but Bloodhounds and Coonhounds

are so cute. Their ears are so long and cute.

[ernstbass]

51. I have a gorgeous bluetick hound

and I'm fostering a magnificent red tick hound. You just can't beat their markings.

[MissMillie]

29. Bulldog

They're so sweet!

[Shell Beau]

37. My friend had one and he was hilarious!

[bamacrat]

30. I like a nice pitbull.

[B3Nut]

63. Me too...

...been a pittie/AmStaff guy for a long time. We own 4 of our own, plus a pit/rottie mix who's the most self-important conceited dog I've ever met...she's just too danged smart. Needy as heck too, can't snuggle close enough most of the time. But we love the weezle...we usually have fosters around as well, since we do rescue.

Deuce, being important:


Weezee, trying to help me play the B-3:


Obie, my first...lost him in 2003 to cancer:


Deuce and Cain-Brain, deciding I need a bath:


:D We love our goofs...wonderful, misunderstood dogs with a lot of heart.

Todd in Beerbratistan

[Texasgal]

31. Boston Terriers.

I have a boy and a girl. Here's a pic of my boy, I have posted it here before, but I love the picture. :)

<img src="" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com">

[Shell Beau]

42. That is so precious! How sweet. I also like those breeds.

I want a French Bulldog which is very similar to the Boston Terrier.

[Left_Winger]

36. Collies

[underpants]

38. SUNDOG!!!!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3989003

[Shell Beau]

43. I was wondering how long it would take!

[magnetism]

40. Labrador!

:woohoo:

[zanne]

41. Mutts!

Let's hear it for mutts!

[Shell Beau]

44. I have 2 of them. I love them! But I also love pure-breds!

[noonwitch]

73. I love mutts, too!

My old dog (Rosie) was a mutt from the K-zoo shelter. She looked like some kind of freakish combination of Bouvier and Scotty terrier. The vet called her a "terrier mix".

My current dog (Katie) is a mutt from the Michigan Humane Society shelter in Detroit (The "Animal Cops: Detroit" shelter). They called her a "shepard chow mix", but she is small to be either. The vet thinks she's at least part Norweigian Elkhound. I don't know, but she's really cute and has a very sweet disposition.

[flvegan]

45. Great Dane and of course, the "pitbull"

Had a dane most of my life. I adopted a sweetie mix (tiny bit o pointer or something in there) from the humane society a few years ago.

And the pitbull because they're the sweetest, yet most misunderstood and maligned dog on the planet.

[Shell Beau]

46. A friend of mine has Great Danes. They are so

sweet. He brought them over to my house one day, and I went to get my dogs to play with them. My Chow/heeler mix who was a puppy at the time peed on me when he saw the size of the dogs. But they are big sweethearts. And yes, I agree about pits.

[Wcross]

52. I like to have multiple dogs- I couldn't afford to feed the Danes!

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

58. I love your last line...

"they're the sweetest, yet most misunderstood and maligned dog on the planet"

:thumbsup:

[China_cat]

47. Bouvier des Flandres

Dot

[Shell Beau]

53. I absolutely love scruffy dogs. That dog is precious!

I also like the Briard.

[China_cat]

79. Actually, Dot is looking very good in that picture.

The description most Bouvier owners know and agree with is that they normally look like an unmade bed.

[Shell Beau]

83. Very beautiful!

By scruffy I mean like an unmade bed. I love the way their hair just goes haywire! It is so cute to me. And how you can't even see their eyes.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

48. Hmmmm.....

I would definitely have to say a lab or a pitbull.

[Taverner]

50. My dog, the Samoyed

There's the late Sitka and still kicking Tigger...

[Shell Beau]

55. How pretty! I've always thought those dogs were pretty.

[RebelOne]

56. My dog, the Rottweiler. Rotties rule!!

[Shell Beau]

57. Rotties do rule! They are beautiful and HUGE!

They are so stout. My aunt has one named Adolf.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

78. a rottie named Adolf.

YIKES!

I've once seen a very big rottie go between the narrow gap between two posts on a railed porch. just to get on the porch quicker to give everybody big wet kisses. it was amazing seeing this gigantic dog go thru such a thin railing. they are incredibly built dogs, not just in terms of size but in their overall form.

[XNASA]

59. Crested Chinese

[Shell Beau]

60. I have a feeling you aren't being serious!

:crazy: Those poor dogs can't help they don't have much fur! They are cute in their own way! :P Then again, maybe you are being serious!

[XNASA]

61. I am serious.

I'm not a dog owner, but if I was.....I would want one of those.

[Shell Beau]

62. I think you need one!

They don't require lots of brushings!

[Dastard Stepchild]

64. If I must choose a breed... Mastiffs!

They are phenomenally wonderful dogs. Real sweethearts. If I ever get a home with a yard, there is a certain Mastiff rescue that will be getting a telephone call from me.

[Shell Beau]

85. Beautiful dogs!

[chaska]

123. Oh dear, Steph, this is just not working out at all...

We're just worlds apart, you and I. :cry:

Besides, I was nearly killed by my last girlfriend's dog.

...a chihuahua!

;)

[Dastard Stepchild]

139. Oh dear....

The humble chihuahua has something to prove, so it tends to go for the kill bite. As opposed to these big guys, who feel no need to prove their mettle and just lounge about. So see, you'd probably be safer in the vicinity of a mastiff.

And that's one to grow on.....


:)

[chaska]

143. Okay, you've convinced me. It's on again! I redeclare my love for SJBech!!

;)

[driver8]

150. I had a roommate who had a female Mastiff. She was the most

gentle dog...she used to love to lay next to me on the floor when I watched tv and rest her giant head on my chest. My shirt would always get soaked with drool.

[flordehinojos]

65. we've had ...

a keeshond ... gentle, intelligent, beautiful, good watch dog, wonderful companion.

then we've had a beagle and an australian terrier ... the beagle was gentle, refined and lady like, we adopted her from an animal rescue center... whoever owned her first must have really pampered her. she was always so refined and lady like. one time when it was very cold (here in south florida) and i had to take our australian terrier to the vet, she either wanted to come, or she wanted to get out in the cold wintry wind. neighbors tell me that she howled the entire time i was gone with the australian terrier and did not stop until we got back.

the australian terrier was a little fluff ball. he loved to cuddle, make sure he always grabbed your attention, he was a leaper, and he loved to play with the beagle.

we now have a mini pinscher and just recently added a yorkie mix (although a friend tells me he looks more like a pure yorkie).

our mini pinscher is more like a philosopher dog ... but he loves to be picked up and held...but about the only way he lets you know is that he stands next to your feet until you do pick him up and hold him.

our yorkie mix stands on his two hind legs, and with his two front paws he pulls your arms to get your attention, he loves to play ball, chew old shoes, jump on the table or sit himself on a chair at the table if any space is left between the table and chair. he too loves to cuddle up in your arms and he loves to invite our minipinscher to play, although the mini-pin is older, philosophical about things and not include to go around puppy playing at all.

i don't think i can choose a favorite. i have loved each and everyone . the two that we have now, and those who have already gone, including another little minipinscher i did not mention before in this post. even when she loved to wake us up at 1:30 in the morning and demand her dinner/or breakfast/ or whatever it was that she thought she was demanding at that time of morning.

[Shell Beau]

84. I have a mini-pin also.

She is so bossy and feisty. It's her way or no way. She is truly a lap dog. She doesn't give you a choice. If she wants to sit in your lap, then that is just the way it is going to be. She also sleeps in between my husband and me. And she has to be under the covers with her head on the pillow. It is so funny.

[hopein08]

66. Beagles, hands down

I've got a ten year old beagle who came down with a spinal disease as a puppy. The only thing that saved her life was a cortisone shot that stunted her growth. So she still looks like a cute little puppy. About two years ago she came down with Cushing's Disease which affects her adrenal glands so she's lost some fur but is still as cute as ever.

Nothing is better than a beagle, even with all that's wrong with her.

[Zuni]

68. Beagles

:hi:

[chaska]

121. Hmm, good choice....

I'm surprised. ;)

[Lilith Velkor]

69. Dachshund

Hooray for wiener-dogs!

[philosophie_en_rose]

87. Yay!

I love dachshunds. They're such feisty and smart little dogs. :)


And they look like penguins when they beg. :)

[Lilith Velkor]

89. Bwahaha!

Especially mine, he's black with a white belly. :spray:

(I'll tell him that. He'll be like whatever, where's my carrot?)

[philosophie_en_rose]

93. it's so cute.

Unlike other dogs, they have to sit on their butts to beg - due to their stubby little legs. :)

[MidnightWind]

117. Count me in as a dachshund fan

I've been owned by two of them. Smart, funny, fiercely loyal and an all-around great breed! A big-dog attitude in a tiny body.

[RockaFowler]

119. We Love DACHSHUNDS

We have 2 and can't wait to get more. They are a handful, but gotta love them . . . My Dolphans

[BroadwayBrat]

70. Wire Hair Fox Terriers.... and Pomerainians

They are two of my favorites....of which I have had both...
My new favorite which I am in the process of getting is a mixed breed - Jack Russell/Pomeranian - soooo cute... :)

[wildhorses]

72. jack russell

[mvd]

74. I'd say Mutt

Specifically, a German Shepherd/Retriever Mix, since my dog Reba looks like that. :-)

[Liberalynn]

75. German Shepard

I got my first one when I was five and have been lucky to have had three more grace my life since.

They have been my guardian angels and more importantly my best friends from the very start.

This is my current baby bear, named Maxie:

[SlavesandBulldozers]

77. they are amazing dogs.

the connection a shep can make with people is unbelievable. they are very social and inquisitive.

[Liberalynn]

134. They are incredibly sensitive to

their owners' feelings I think. Also if anything new is added to a room or outdoors or something seems to be moved way out of place from her frame of reference, Maxie starts to bark at it. I'm begining to think I should have named her "Monk." ;-)

[justabob]

136. My shepherd does that too

She especially doesn't like new things, or old things out of place, in the yard.

[Liberalynn]

138. I guess that is why they make such good watch dogs

because they notice when something doesn't look right to them but it is kind of funny to observe too.

[ceile]

96. me too. Had 4 growing up.

Now I have a yellow lab and German shepherd/border collie mix.

[Liberalynn]

135. They are great pals to grow up with.

Your current dog sounds beautiful. My Mom had a border collie growing up and she loved it. My grandma had eight kids including my Mom and my Mom said Grandma used to use the dog to herd them sometimes. :)

[SlavesandBulldozers]

76. proud min pin owner here too.

we have a 3 month old min pin. so, obviously he's a favorite ;) They are incredible little dogs.

i also love German Shepherd Dogs. They are smart and fun, and have great personalities. I also like a couple of the other breeds similar to German Shepherd Dogs, such as the Belgian Shepherd Dogs and the Tervuren.

Chihuahuas are really cool too. They have a very interesting, and distinct, history.

[NoSheep]

80. Maltese:

[Demmygirl9888]

115. They are so cute!

Are they yours? The one on the left reminds me of my little Maltese baby, Bunnie.

[fleabert]

81. Chihuahua, esp. my own! (((pics)))

[Demmygirl9888]

114. Awww.....

How adorable. What's its name?

[gmoney]

145. A regal pet, that Flea!

Remember the WKRP where Les Nessman is talking about them and pronounces it:
Chy-huwa-huwa ?

Think about that every time I see one... :rofl:

[ernstbass]

82. Any shelter dog

Please remember - Don't breed or buy while homeless dogs die
Shelters have plenty of purebreds and mutts

[Shell Beau]

86. I, of course, know that. I've adopted the last 2 dogs I own.

I am not sure I can ever have a pure-bred again unless it comes from a rescue shelter. But I still have my favorite pure breds. They are animals too!

[ernstbass]

88. I agree Shell Beau

[fudge stripe cookays]

97. Fargo's a rescue.

I was happy to give him a happy forever home. They found him as a stray down in Montgomery County, TX.

:hi:
FSC

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

90. Here are mine!

I love dachshunds... big dogs trapped in small bodies!

I love the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I rescued one from an Upper East Side shelter and her personality is just wonderful. She likes to be the boss and will nip your heels if she thinks you're not going where she wants you to go! Wonderful little dog!

Then, I am also partial to siberian huskies, partly because I have one. They are so beautiful on the outside and even more beautiful on the outside. Very playful and extremely intelligent, they love company and are great escape artists. My 'girl' has happily become an apartment loafing dog. She likes activity, but prefers a good nap in our company (huskies like company).

My other one is the chow chow, which I also have. We rescued her from the street in the middle of winter, as she was dying from starvation. She is a wonderful dog, very motherly toward her 'sister' husky and her little dachshund friends. She absolutely cannot stand the corgi, though! She is loyal and very affectionate to the people she likes. However, she does not like most other dogs. She likes to nap a lot and keeps great company to us and the husky.

I like all dogs (better than I like people), regardless of breed or mix. All dog breeds can be good or bad, depending on how the dog is treated.

[seemunkee]

91. I love beagles and of course now love my iggy

we're limited on what breed dog we can get due to my wifes allergies. Hairless breeds and IGs. I would get a beagle if we could but love our little greyhound.

[RubyDuby in GA]

94. Undoubtly, the bestest little doggies in the world: the Dachshund

My beloved Ruby:


and my current little furbaby, Rusty (with nephew Josh):


but really, aren't all doxies just the cutest things???

98. My 2....

Royal Standard poodles
Bichon Frise

[Shell Beau]

103. My aunt has 2 Bichons and she

got my grandma one. She loves them!! Her oldest one is 16.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

99. I'm really a cat person, but dogs are cute, too.

I like Labs. I always thought Irish setters were so pretty.

[Downtown Hound]

100. Got to go with Basset Hounds

But labs and Golden Retrievers aren't far behind. They are simply the sweetest dogs you can ever imagine.

[Maestro]

132. Our neighbors have two!

Funny dogs around. One is all ears and just walks around barking at anything and everything. The other one actually looks like a beagle and basset hound mix. He's a bit more socialable and playful.

[xmas74]

101. beagles.

[DelawareValleyDem]

102. Alaskan Malamute

[Merrick]

128. You beat me to it. Mine has a picture though

Awesome dogs.

[Double T]

104. Pitbull or Rottweiler

[misha227]

105. Welsh Corgi

They're sort of a cross between a collie and a Dachsund, same size as a Basset. Their ears are just so expressive and cute! I wanted a dog that would be comfortable in an apartment, but wanted a herding dog so there aren't many smaller ones to choose from. Very happy with my baby!

[Bullwinkle925]

106. Some day I hope to be a Mama to a Shiba Inu.

Or a French Bulldog.

[Shell Beau]

156. I want a French Bulldog sooo bad. They are adorable!

[Beausoir]

107. I adore my Boxer.

She is fantastic with kids. Quiet, clean and so jovial.

[trof]

108. German Shepherd.

Smartest, hands down.

[skygazer]

109. Boxers

Best dog ever. Smart, great with kids, good protector but never vicious, gets along with other animals, adaptable and has a great sense of humor.

[Beausoir]

126. Boxers. Agreed! n/t

[Seabiscuit]

130. Barbara's my favorite Boxer.

:)

[Jersey Devil]

110. Definitely Boxers - they are total asshats

Somehow Boxers know when you are down in the dumps and start doing the wackiest things imaginable to cheer you up. My daughter has two of them who curl up like kidney beans and shake their entire hind quarters and tail when they see you and then lick you from head to toe nonstop. They also think they are lapdogs and since one is 75 lbs and the other 90 lbs you have to fight them for the couch.

[Catchawave]

111. Longhair Dachshunds

Best little big dog in the world :)

[Meatwad]

112. I'm torn between the mastiff and siberian husky.

:shrug:

[Demmygirl9888]

113. Chihuahuas

I love other dogs, but I'm very fond of chihuahuas.

[hippiechick]

116. Australian Cattle Dogs

Perfection in a dog.
Brilliant and amazing task-focused dogs
Strong & fast
Hard Workers
Loyal like no other

... HippieDog Hank is ACD mixed with Beagle, and I swear it's the perfect breed mix.

[KitchenWitch]

118. Greyhounds

beautiful dogs...can be rescued from the dog tracks too.

[chaska]

120. Shitzu/Lhasa Apso...

Big dogs for guys are like big trucks for guys. You know, harumph, compensation.

[Donailin]

122. Bichon Frise

but only because I like the way the breed name rolls of my tongue

[chaska]

124. MORE PICTURES PLEASE.

[Awsi Dooger]

125. Definitely a poodle

I've had nothing but awesome experiences with two of them, the toy variety. So smart and playful and friendly. Also very willing to speak up to protect the homestead, and throw themselves around in the backyard dirt.

My wonderful apricot poodle Awsi was put to sleep on July 19. He was just shy of 15 years and 10 months. I took my DU user name from him. Awsi had a rough final year or so, losing his hearing and nearly all of his sight, due to cataracts. I found out that pure bred toy poodles are the most vulnerable to cataracts of any type of dog.

Even to the end, Awsi was still faithfully able to make his way into the den where I keep my computer and lay down on the oval green rug I bought for him. Awsi never did like the hard tile. He lost his appetite in the final days and wouldn't even drink. After two days at the vet's and on IVs I had to accept it was his time. You were a terrific pal, Awsi dooger.

[Merrick]

127. Alaskan Malamutes

Awesome dogs. My family got one when I was 12. We used to tear the house apart together. They're really good natured dogs, beautiful and a hell of a lot of fun. I do have a 1" scar over my eye from one of his teeth, but it wasnt his fault (I swear!)

My poor mom is still in grieving over his dying and that was like 5 years ago.

[Maestro]

131. Belgian Malinois

Love me....

133. The pup nibbling on my shoe which I am wearing....

...is a Pitt Bull. She has an ow-ie on her leg but she is happy nonetheless, a bit slow in the pottie-training department. Her name is biscuit, a lovely blue-nosed lass whom I desperately wish I could keep..... (My kingdom for a digital camera right now!)

146. Brussels Griffon ala movie "As Good As It Gets"

I only have a Maine Coon cat and a parrot, myself, but was charmed by the little critter.
I think he stole the show!

151. Airedales, Welsh Terriers, and Wire Fox Terriers

We call them "square dogs" because their features are boxy. I love them so much and can't wait until I can have one. Although I adore just about all dog breeds except the really yippy ones.

155. I've always liked Akitas

I used to backpack with a guy that had an Akita. He used to load him down with 20 lbs of gear, water and food. He'd run circles around us for miles at a time.
