Favorite Dog Breed?

[RevThompson]

My family has always owned Golden Retrievers. They are great, loyal, safe, and full of energy. More and more I find myself liking Belgian Shepherds, namely the Malinois. My father-in-law, owned one recently, his unfortunately passed. But the Malinois is a great dog the SEALs use them!

Although I no longer have one, I'm partial to the Weimaraner.

I have seen them in service in several PDs also. Very smart dogs, I am seeing more of them lately, not sure if they are more popular, or I am just noticing them more.

I love dogs in general but my vote for all around best breed goes to the German Shepherd - intelligent, loyal, very trainable, adaptable, and a great working dog. Most breeds have something going for them but I don't think any breed has as much going for it as the GSD.

Originally from Hungary, the Vizsla is a medium-sized, short-coated hunting dog that is essentially Pointer in type, although he combines characteristics of both pointer and retriever. An attractive golden rust in color, this "dual" dog is popular in both the field and the show ring due to his power and drive while hunting and his trainability in the home.

A Look Back
The Vizsla’s ancestors were hunters and companions for the Magyar hordes, a tribe that settled in what is now known as Hungary. A favorite of early barons, Vizslas are depicted in etchings as far back as the 10th century.

The agricultural terrain of Hungary created a dog of superior nose and high-class hunting ability well-suited to Hungarian climate and a variety of game, including upland game, rabbits and waterfowl. Nearly extinct by the end of the World Wars, the Vizsla gradually regained popularity and began to be imported into the United States in the 1950s.

I was in D.C. around September 2007 all the Secret Service guys around the National Mall had them. I think they are just more popular, people are realizing how great they are.

I sure hope you are being sarcastic. Pit Bulls should be exterminated with extreme prejudice.

Wow... ignorance runs deep here
