I find it interesting that so many GSD owners are so quick to judge other breeds by one or two experiences with them (or none). Obviously preference in what sort of dog you enjoy or don't is an individual thing. I'm around dogs a lot more than the average person and I have found the breeds that I like have expanded as I'm around more and more breeds.

I like most herding breeds overall because I love their drive, ease of training and even their quirkiness. I understand herding dogs, as I've had quite a few over the years. I have owned all herding breeds with the exception of my first dog, a Dobe mix. I like sighthounds too though and they are very different from herding breeds - fairly independent, not real driven to work with you, etc. I like some toy breeds because you can find drivey, nice performance breeds in them. I can appreciate some of the Terriers but don't think I'd want to live with them. Same with most of the working and sporting breeds. I really, really like Standard Poodles. I don't care for the look of barchychephlic breeds, found dwarf breeds very odd looking (living with a corgi has gotten me used to them lol) and prefer dogs with tails. I find that even breeds that I don't tend to care for, if I'm around enough of them I end up liking individuals of the breed regardless. I like dogs

I think I like all dog breeds, but wouldn't want to own them all personally based on my lifestyle and needs. My kids would love a toy dog that didn't crush them when they sat on them, but I know with my schedule I need a dog that house trains quick and is a quick learner off leash. I also know I don't have time to get a dog groomed as often as many of them need. This pretty much cancels out owning the toy breeds I'm familiar with

i don't like toy breeds,because for me,their look isn't really a dog.The big and medium breeds are something else,but in them i don't like bulldogs and all that look bulldog-like,i just don't like that look, and i don't like Ngau Tau Stems(the ones with a creepy jaw ,otherwise i like them all(this is all based on look)

Plus all that THICK fur is out. no thanks. i dont want something i can make a coat out of.

Haha, I think you mean photographic memory. I wasn't aware they're supposed to have that kind of memory. What do you have against it?

I find it ironic you don't want a dog you can make a coat out of, but you're OK with ones that regularly re-carpet the floors.

Or maybe that's just my dog....I took her to get professionally groomed when my landlord said I could have her in my apartment for company until another roommate moved in. I did this so I wouldn't have fluff everywhere or clog the drains (no hose in the complex) and it was more convenient at the time, otherwise I would have preferred to do it myself. The groomer said he did all he could to remove the fur, but there was way too much of it. Lupa looked, felt, and smelt great, but my floors were covered within 48 hours. It's like she has constant alopecia, but no baldness. Thus far, this is the only fault she has, though my parents say they'd have never let me get her had I not conveniently forgotten to mention this aspect of the breed before I got her.

Matetus, I tried looking up Ngau Tau Stems, but got flowers? Could you post a picture and some more breed info?

I don't like droolers either. Yuck! My sister raises pugs, and I don't really like the way they snort and snot in your face. Double Yuck!! I guss it really depends on their mannerisms. I could get past anything if they have good manners.

[Grafix Ink.]

anything smaller then 30lbs... yappy dogs... or droolers...

Not a big fan of ankle bitters. My parents raised me with a white toy poodle...not a boy's dog by any means. Not a big fan of pitbulls especially in my line of work. I know some good ones are out there, but the ones I have always came across try to make me lunch.

I've never met a pitt bull that I would ever trust. If you were walking down the street by yourself and a pittbull approached you...would you trust this dog enough to put your hand out to pet it? Not me!

They are machines built for one purpose...IMO. I had one charge me while on duty after it had attacked a man and an elderly lady. I won't go into the details of what I had to do, but lets say the dog was still able to run, jump two fences, and run another 300 yards before just laying down. Still had to be transported to the pound by Animal Control to be put down.
