Favorite Dog Breed?

[hipshot]

I have a pekinese that thinks he is a pit bull! He is my little buddy. I learned after I got him that they were bred for protection. I will never have another dog when he is gone, You just get too danged attached to them!!

We have big dogs. One is a Pit mix, and on a Rot mix. Both are in the 90lbs range, and although I love them both, Beagles are still my favorite.

I'm a huge bird hunter and have a kennel of German shorthairs. Those have to be my favorite though I am very impressed with hunting labs as well and would love to have one someday. If you ever get a chance to watch a handler work a field trial caliber lab it really is something to see.

I grew up with Springers, and I agree about the field trial dogs--absolutely amazing to see how smart, athletic, and just plain natural they are at hunting. Sweet as can be, too--when my siblings were young (2 and 4, maybe), our Springer had a litter of puppies, and all of them got along famously, even when the kids were chewing on the dogs. The same dog, however, cornered a prowler in our yard against a tree maybe 4" in diameter, and he was scared to move.

I love our greyhound to death. 45mph couch potato. My next dog will be a red doberman. I've always wanted one of my own and dobies have great personalities in my experience.

This is Karma. She is 12 yrs old now.

This is Jose. I lost him 2 yrs ago this month - he was 10yrs. old. They had the same father, but different mothers. Karma's mother was a border collie.

My Shorthairs are field trial dogs and hunting dogs, and pretty damn good at it. But a field trial caliber lab that knows it's 30 something commands and executes them correctly every time is just flat out impressive.

How did you break your APBT from dog aggression? Did it help to socialize it? .

I tired to socialize her but nothing I did helped. She was perfect around people and my step daughters loved her but when she saw another dog she became would become very aggressive towards it. It didn't matter what kind of dog or where she was. I'm pretty sure she had been abused or even used as a bait dog when she was younger. I ended up having to give her back to the rescue. I was working in the oil field at the time and was gone most of the week and could spend enough time with her.

Giant Schnauzers are pretty good pals.

Though their big mop heads can be annoying after they just shoved them off in the water bowl and them come dripping thru the house wanting to put their head in your lap.

Boxers hands down. My daugher could poke ours with a branding iron in the eyeball and he'd just wag his tail at her. There best friends.....I think this picture says it all:

I agree, I miss my two Boxers (Joe and Sophie) I had to give them up for adoption last year.
