Since there seems to be so many dog lovers on here, it would be good to see a list of your favourite breeds. So...
1. What breeds have you had/do you have?
2. What breed would you love to have if practicality was not an issue?
3. What breed would you have considering where you live. etc., etc.?
Heinz 57s absolutely count, but please don't preach about whether or not you agree with selective breeding. And no arguing with other people's choices.
And include pics, if possible.
Mine?
1. Rough Collie (x2)
2. Norwegian Elkhound
3. West Highland White
Pics not possible.
Lots of girls will talk to you if you have a beagle.
1.. whippets
2.. whippets
3 whippets....

jack russells , always for me.
1. German shorthaired pointer
2. None
3. None

Lurcher
I would love to have a couple of Labradors, black or chocolate. We can't though as we are out of the house too long during the day.
1. alsations, collies , mongrels.
2. weimaraner or Welsh Collie
3. A jack russell - but dogs that are smaller than cats are just wrong
border terrier +1
Lots of girls will talk to you if you have a beagle.
Black lab pup is definate babe-magnet. 😀 Pity I was married when I got him. 😥
In answer to the original question-
Airedale / Labrador
German Shepherd
Spaniel.
Saw a Norwegian Elkhound at the vets t'other day -
Looked like a Husky crossed with a Hyena.
1 English Springer Spaniel
2 Hungarian Vizla, multiple ESS's
Border Collie, simply the best.
I've 2 retreivers but I would love a weimaraner, viszla or a boxer. They are all a bit demanding for me though.
Border Terrier.
I can't win though so we will end up with another Lab I reckon but that's a good compromise in my book.
1. German Wirehaired Pointer
2. English Springer Spaniel
3. Old English Sheepdog
1. Black Labrador
2. Collie
3. Labrador/Collie cross
1. +1 border terrier (love the pics 2Hottie - we have two 12yrs old)
2. Anything not too bred out - terriers, lurchers etc..
3. Anything Heinz57
Border Terrier +1
1-manchester terrier
2-alaskan malamut
3- as answer 2(got big fields and a very big wood on the doorstep)
Huntaway (which I have)
Malamute
Long haired German Sheperd
1. English Pointer
2. Hungarian Wire-haired Vizla
3. Beagle
Bulldog.
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
In answer to the questions asked.
1) Lurchers
2) Lurchers
3) Lurchers
Hmm, bit of a pattern there!
1 Welsh Springer, Golden Retriever
2 Irish Wolfhound
3 Will probably get a Border Terrier or an Irish Terrier
Dalmatian or Corgi, never ever having a Beagle again though they are good babe magnets!
1) Golden retriever, German Shepherd Cross (with what I have no idea probably some lab) and about to inherit a golden lab
2) Great Dane (but without food and vet bills), Greyhound/lurcher, German Shepherd, anything that compares in temperament to our (departed) GR or GSX.
3) As 2 (but not the Great Dane).
None, Never had one.
But really want a German Short-haired/English Pointer.
Black labs all the way. Had them as a kid and would get them again ideally.
1. Chocolate Lab - best dog ever
2. Great Dane / German Shepherd / Golden Retriever
3. As above
Labrador cos they are so incapable of agression and excellent family dogs, well mine is.
Spinone I just like the look of them
Neopolitan Mastiff - If I lived in a castle.
Has to be a sighthound of some description, lurcher, longdog or pure breed. I absolutely must have a deer or wolfhound at some point.
We've got a (six month old) chocolate lab, he's great with the kids, and although ruled entirely by his stomach (typical lab), we love him to bits. I'd originally wanted a newfoundland, but size and expense ruled this out.
Got a black lab and a staffie, both brilliant,
PJ.
Would love to have a dog but situation needs to change first...
1. None 🙁
2. Lakeland trailhound or Westie or Border Terrier or Border collie or springer or Wiemeranier
3. Lakeland trailhound or Westie or Border Terrier
I really want a trailhound - mainly because of [url=
]this picture[/url]
[url= http://www.puppybeef.com/recipes.php ]Boshingtang[/url] is my favorite dog
The pictures of the Border Terriers just make me want one even more 😥
I love 2hottie's pics - and always look forward to them on dog threads. I think I might dognap him 😛
EDIT: The BT, not 2hottie 😯
I know what you mean Deadly.
I even so the Mrs pics of him to try persuade her, no success yet.
1) Beagle. Awesome dog, except when you want him to do something! 🙂
This is Oscar when he was a pup. He is 7 months old now, so almost fully grown.

2) Vizsla or Weimaraner. Don't know a huge amount about either, but both look fantastic IMO.
3) If we get another dog it would probably be a Collie.
I even so the Mrs pics of him to try persuade her, no success yet.
Hehe, me too! She's persuaded...it's just finding a way of having one in a small house in town with two cats...that bottom photo of 2hottie's...makes my heart melt.
I'm not a dog lover, thats the girls in my family. We have a Boxer. She is without doubt the most stupid animal I have ever encountered. Solid bone from the neck up.
1. Rescue dog

it's not about the breed it's about the Dog.

That's what we're getting once the back garden is finished and fenced this year , a neighbour had one when I was a kid and we used to love playing with him.
as a kid we had either Border Bollies that needed a thousand walks a day or Alsations (taylorplayer yours with the black head is stunning!)
I'm quite fond of a black lab/great dane cross on my post round it looks like something from 'Hound of the Baskervilles' but is soft as
Nooooo, don't make me choose!
I'd love a dog, but unfortunately both me and t'husband work full time, and I think it'd be cruel to leave a dog on its own for that long. Plus there's the small matter that we can't afford to buy a house, and most rental properties don't allow pets. 🙁
But if I could:
1) Minature daschund
2) Minature schnauzer
3) Malamute
4) Whippet
5) Border Terrier
6) Border collie
7) Airdale terrier
8) Lakeland terrier
I'll stop now...
I think if we could have a dog, a whippet would probably be the best - they like exercise, but are also quite chilled out.

I'm not a total fan of dogs generally, but have had Afghan hounds and German shepards and have a soft spot for those breeds, My heart kind've melts at the sight of husky/timber wolf crosses.
The best dugs however, are those treeclimbin' retractable-claw type dogs in the Felidae family 😉
It's nice to know people look forward to seeing the pic of Brian.
DD, We live in a small terrace house in the centre of town and this is why we got the BT, we have a secure yard with high walls so no chance of him escaping!!! The dog lives outside during the day whenever we are out. We are lucky as I'm at Uni so the little bugger isn't left alone too long. Borders are great all round dogs as they can live outside in all weathers yet his favourite place is in front of the fire! The breeder we got him from (in Brierfield near Burnley) had their BT's living with cats and had no issues there. Highly recommended. Will happily run all day but won't be put out if it's a quick walk around the park.

Spaniels.

I'd have Cavaliers, Welsh Springers, working Cocker, Field, Sussex and a Clumber. And a big house.

What are Ridgebacks like for temperament?
2hottie - stop!!
No, don't stop.
Yes, stop.
No, don't..
Yes....
Aaaaarrrgghhh!!
1. Greyhound
2. Rhodesian Ridgeback
Ridgebacks are the most impressive looking dogs you'll see, stunning
I've got a 2 1/2 yr old beagle - he is deffo a babe magnet!
When we move to somewhere with more space we will no doubt get another to keep Finn company (there is only so much rolling about you can do)
He is great - with structured training we have been able to ditch the lead!
Had German Shepherds for almost 20 years and also a Border Collie. After my last shepherd had to be put down (injured spinal cord), we got 2 Labradoodles (cross between lab and standard poodles) and I will have nothing else going forward. Great disposition (from Lab side), very smart (from both sides) AND they don't shed.
Staffords
1/ Heinz 57
2/ Newfoundland
3/ Huntaway
Another Border Terrier fan here. We'll hopefully be getting our second one this year 🙂
1)Heinz 57/rescue dog. Shes a half boxer and we think other half parsons terrier. Very cute little face, daft as they get and only listens when it suits her.
2)Labradors, both me and the missus wanted one(or two!) originally, but we saw Maddy and had to get her. Would love to get one as a friend for Maddy.
3)Labrador.
Essel, that's a Cavalier King Charles Crabhound, surely?
