    Ive a massive soft spot for Springers, Lurchers, King Charles Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, Chocolate Labs.....

    But ultimately, my favourite TYPE of dog, is a Good Boy or a Good Girl - I couldnt care less if he or she is a mix of all breeds, missing a leg, an ear, an eye, scraggledy, deaf, blind, smelly, ugly (actually I love an ugly dog!), bow legged, scrawny, small, large, a bit dim or super smart - my favourite type has always been that boy or girl with a soft temperment, who loves me unconditionally, snuggles up with me, keeps me warm, makes me laugh and is the essence of why we love our dogs!

    None - all of mine are different & adorable. But the biggest surprise has been my Greyhound. If I had known how nice they are I would of had one years ago.

    I prefer bigger dogs like German Shepards ans Dobermans although I do have a soft spot for Kerry Blues and Fox Terriers. But my favourite breed is the Rhodesian Ridgeback.

    The epitome of a dog IMO :)

    RR would be my favourite breed :)
    I also love boxers and rottweilers.

    My RR Phoenix as a pup.

    For looks its between Bernese Mountain Dogs and GSDs or maybe Malinois.

    But for personality and sheer goofyness you cant beat greyhounds IMHO. I wouldnt have looked twice at a grey until I started forstering, wonderful dogs that just ooze affection and personality :)

    Favorite is most definitely akitas. Wouldn't be without one now

    After the akita, any giant breed. Love them all, they're so easygoing and gentle, from wolfhounds to neopolitans.

    Yea he's the cutest thing ever, and the biggest lapdog ever:pac:
    He's neutered though I'm afraid:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,731 ✭✭✭Bullseye1


    Thanks.

    If you love Akita you should watch the movie about Hachikō's. It was based on a true story in Japan adapted for the Americans and staring Richard Gere. Amazing story.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 252 ✭✭Andromeda_111


    I've a Bullmastiff, he's 8 years old and still scrambles around like a 6 month old. They are beautiful gentle giants.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 989 ✭✭✭piperh


    I grew up with GSD's so will always have a huge soft spot for them. Actually have a picture of my now 18yr old holding my GSD's lead while in the buggy at 12mnths old and its walking perfectly alongside the buggy. Staffies have a special place in my heart to.

    Kinda strange ten that my last dog was a patterdale and the 2 i have now are mutts, 1 a wolfound x and 1 god only knows:rolleyes: All of them rescues.

    I've known the original japanese story since I was about ten, I prefer the original to the movies (haven't bothered to watch it), especially as it, like Marley and me, is beginning to create problems for the breed. Always been in love with the breed but finally got my hands on one last year. Couldn't bring a different breed in now without having one at least


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,731 ✭✭✭Bullseye1


    Did you go for an American or Japanese version?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,974 ✭✭✭Chris_Heilong


    The Alaskan Malamute of coarse as I own one
    Titanatsea.jpgSo surprised how easy going they are and as long as you meet their needs they are really well behaved.

    next fav would be Akita, Siberian Husky, GSD and Shiba Inu.
