My favorites this morning at play time. In order, Cuda, Hemi, and Magnum.
Got a favorite dog breed? Which one and why?

I had a black Chow named cuda, that dog was tougher than wire but great with kids. I got him from a shelter he looked like crap half of his fur was gone but his confirmation was great and I could tell he was a purebred. It took a while before him and my Malamute golden retriever mix could settle their differences Bodie was the Malamute mix he went over a hundred pounds easy but that chow would not take one step backwards and finally they just got tired of the doggy drama and we're totally cool with each other. Two more very good dogs.

Love me some pitties.

Ridgeback rescue all the way. This is Alfie he was a Ridgeback cross Dobie. He’s gone now, but he won’t be forgotten.

We have a Ridgeback/Great Pyrinese cross. Looks like a Ridgeback. He is a herd protection dog for our Boer Goats. That is his job and all he wants top do.
He never would have anything to do with me until I gave him a ham bone one day, then he was (sorta) my buddy.
They say they can be aloof. My father in law used to come down to our house for steak every week, once dinner was over and he sat on the couch our dog would lie next to him with his head on his knee and wouldn’t move until he got up to leave, he’d have to rub the caution back into his legs when he got up from the weight of the dogs head. That dog would have died for him.
I have 2 main favourites
A kelpie owned 4 and Irish Wolfhounds have not owned one yet as do not have enough room, but my brother had one 38 years ago and it was the most gentle of dogs my daughter was under 2 at the time and could do anything with that dog

I have a Jack Russell named Jack Russell. Always been very fond of boxers too. I’ve had a few, but they seem to die early. Makes me sad. As a side note: If you don’t love your dog, nobody else will.
I'd have to say now that my favorite kinda dog is a cat.

I really enjoy the husky/malamute breeds. I'm on my 4th one now. They don't bark much which I love, they got tons of personality. Last 2 here are brother and sister. Yes the red one is the female always kicking butt.
Have to be a pug! My parents raised them before I was born and I have had at least one since 1995 until 5 years ago. Had to put Buddy down unexpectedly and I still miss him Terribly. I want one more before I go and I sure don't want to outlive my dog.
The Daschund, never can remember how to spell in German! The long dog, the ground hound, the short dog with an attitude! Love them!!!
Border Collies are the smartest, but lots of energy. They always need a JOB! I have had a couple. Had one that had this "thing" about sneeking up behind a horse and pull it tail! Not good. I would watch to catch it doing it, and the dog watched to see IF I was watching!! It knew I was watching and was not supposed to do such!
Australian Shepherds. I have had a few. They are l/s dogs but no where as smart the Border Collie. But not so extremely over active! I could tell one to bring in the horses, he would go out in the pasture and ask them I follow him in! Yea right! Funny
Healers. They love to work, but have a one track mind and dumber than chit! Musty be the Dingo ion them? Just mu opinion! ha
Love a good cat too! But they are worthless to move l/s )(HA) but they love the l/s! Funny!
l/s means livestock.

Huskies here. Rescued my first one about 1990 [3 month old female from a pound]. Steepest learning-curve I've ever had. They're so smart, people think they're untrainable. They're all born to be "alpahas" at heart....and will make a family their beta pack, if not shown who's the alpha. Since then, my wife and I have rescued a bunch more. We like to rescue older ones [nobody wants old dogs], and generally don't know their histories. It has been very rewarding, and a huge lesson in pack-behavior. The most we've had at once, was four. It was a very fun time...with many sad goodbyes.
Second blended pack....
Rear...Sara and Sonya. Sara was a bit geeked, her Mohawk was up. Those two were always wrestling, chasing, and playing.
Middle...Budlee. He didn't have a mean bone in his body. A mushy lover. Survivor of the first group.
Front...Trinny. Stoic alpha female mix. She was a big, quiet, and fearless-protector, hybrid. She loved everyone.
Sadly, they've all passed. The pack always morphed with newcomers. Not always smoothly, at first. I've been bitten and bled a few times
over the years, between a new-comer and the establish alpha dog. They test each other, and they always figure out who's who, I'M the Alpha.

No breed in particular. After having a big Black Lab, I/we have an appreciation for smaller dogs. Less tracking of mud/****/whatever, both in the house and vehicles. Lower cost vet bills too.
Lori came along with Jemma a Jack Russell, and we are now onto Piper a Shipoo(sp) we've been blessed with for 7 yrs.

Mutt that is the size you want. Longer lived than many purebreds. Less neurotic than many purebreds, all due to greater genetic diversity.
