Got a favorite dog breed? Which one and why?

I also have had dozens of breeds of dogs and have to agree that they're more like kids what's your favorite ? My current dog is Maggie just a mix what a great dog. not go out in the road when unattended, never nuisance Barks, she's very protective of my wife and our house the best she can be... but I've never worried about her biting anyone. I even trained her to wipe her feet when she comes in the house by spinning circles on the entryway rug. She's over 16 now and won't be with us too much longer... Damn what a good dog!
