My ultimate objective would be to acquire an unusual breed of dog called a Korthal's Griffon, a rare breed that is similar to a German Wire-haired Pointer.
Dogs are great companions; always delighted to see you, and provide the motivation to get out for a walk.
From my experience dog owners are generally friendly, caring and more...
What is your favourite breed and why?
What is also your least favourite, and why?

I do agree on the companion part tho op. Mine has helped me through some bad days and I love her to bits. Annoying on times but she’s too awesome to stay mad at for long  |

My old boss had an Italian greyhound, petrified of everything and accident prone!
She was a cute diddy thing tho and once she warmed to you was proper snuggly.
Chinese crested are in my top 10, not the powder puff tho. |

The mixed breeding is phasing out a lot of previously undesirable traits, physical and hereditary so there are plusses to it |

We have an Italian Spinone. We've always had dogs but she's the first of this breed we've ever had. Prior to her we had a Lab/Collie Cross who was a wonderful family dog and therefore a difficult one to replace. The Spinone is very different in nature but adorable and probably as good a dog as we could have hoped for. She's a joy and oozes love of life. Would make a terrible guard dog though! |

I personally would only ever own a bull breed or mastiffs. Currently have two American bulldogs, love them to bits but they’re a nightmare and not very well bred dogs. I’d love a Dogo Argentino but sadly they’re banned here so can’t get one. |

Their chubby little faces and teefies and rolls and attitudes.. They're just like meeeee.
Honestly i see them and turn all giddy to mush and it takes every ounce of self restraint not to go and ask their owner if i can please have cuddles

I love most breeds of dog but Old tyme bulldogs are my favourite, all the squishy smooshy face of a British but much healthier, my two are athletic and stubborn but I love them.
Least favourite has to be Dalmatians, too high strung and needy. |

My favourite breed is rescued Watching a dog blossom is such a special thing. There are also so many dogs that need homes while people continue to breed more into existence unnecessarily.
The bond I have with my boy is something I didn’t think I could share with someone non-human. We do nearly everything together, he even wants to climb when I do.
I don’t have a least favourite breed but I get most irritated by the humans of small dogs who tend to be the most vocal about the size of my furry friend whilst doing nothing to curb their own fluffs incessant barking or “cute” aggression. |

"My ultimate objective would be to acquire an unusual breed of dog called a Korthal's Griffon, a rare breed that is similar to a German Wire-haired Pointer.
Dogs are great companions; always delighted to see you, and provide the motivation to get out for a walk.
From my experience dog owners are generally friendly, caring and more...
What is your favourite breed and why?
What is also your least favourite, and why?
My favourite breed is rescued Watching a dog blossom is such a special thing. There are also so many dogs that need homes while people continue to breed more into existence unnecessarily.
The bond I have with my boy is something I didn’t think I could share with someone non-human. We do nearly everything together, he even wants to climb when I do.
I don’t have a least favourite breed but I get most irritated by the humans of small dogs who tend to be the most vocal about the size of my furry friend whilst doing nothing to curb their own fluffs incessant barking or “cute” aggression. "
All my goodies have been rescues |

"New designer breed a beabull half beadle half bulldog. He is the best dog I have ever had.
Sorry, can't get my around this "designer breed" thing .... they're just expensive mongrels in my book..... still gorgeous pooches tho, love dogs, we have a Springer Spaniel.
The mixed breeding is phasing out a lot of previously undesirable traits, physical and hereditary so there are plusses to it"
it also creates a lot of new problems. I was involved in a rescue that gained a litter of pom-skis. Pomeranian x husky. They all that congenital heart defects and hernia issues, caused by crossing such different sized breeds. |

I've never had a dog, it doesn't fit with my lifestyle, but if I did have one, it would be a Border Collie.
To me, they're the ultimate in devotion and obedience. |

Most dogs really, apart from small yappy ones,
I gave a black labrador,
His 15 this summer,
I don't think he has much time lift in him before he goes over the rainbow bridge,
And then sometimes he thinks his still a puppy jumping about, |

"English bull terrier...I call mine a child in a dog suit x
They're clowns aren't they!
My old one used to stick his head up the sleeve of my coat and get stuck. He didn't learn.
He was right naughty tho and nothing food wise was safe. He would steal things soooo slyly!
Definitely the daftest breed!!
Nope you can't take your eye off any food that's around ever!
She also thinks she's a lapdog & has no concept of personal space whatsoever lol
Mine was the same. "GunnerBoy..... I can't.... breathe" but the best cuddles even though you need an oxygen tank after
I just remembered, watching 2 bullies together, he used to headbutt! The only breed he ever did it to was his own, and literally noggin to noggin, nowhere else on their body. Like 2 bloody rams nutting each other! Has yours ever done that? "
Yeah she has lol there's a boy bully in the village & they headbutt & shove their noses in each others ears...its very strange. Any other breed of dog is straight to her bum lol
The bully spin is her speciality though |

I've known a lot of dogs as we always had them growing up. I've had Labradors which are nice natured and intelligent, Lakeland terriers which are nice but scrappy things, a Staffy I had for 12 years who was the best dog and friend I ever had, and I now have a Jug I rehomed before Christmas who is also an awesome little dog. He's a cross between a Pug and a jack russell, so if he looks at you square on he looks like a pug, but from a side profile he's got a snout and his eyes don't bulge like the poor overbred pedigree Pugs, so he can breath fine and he's very clever, energetic and mischievous from his jack russell side. |

When I was 6 and ma Mam was in hospital, there was an Irish Lady across the road that used to babysit me, she had a Black Labrador, and also fed a local fox. The fox would come in some nights and they would both snuggle up in the same basket. It was so cute |

"I love all dogs to be fair but I love Dalmations as I grew up with one! I only have a Patterdale (aka twatterdale) just now but would have more if I had space "
I had collies for over 20 years until last year when I rehomed a Dalmatian. He’s fantastic very different but great to exercise with. Just wish he wasn’t a hunter but that’s the breed I suppose. |

Today I met a couple with an enormous four month old pup, an Ovtcharka, that will eventually grow into one of the largest dogs on the planet, and will top 100kg.
When the Berlin Wall existed, the East Germans had 9,000 of them guarding this edifice.
In the Caucusus mountains these are guardian dogs that live with, and guard sheep flocks and goat herds.
These are colossal dogs, capable of fighting off bears, wolves, jackals and human predators.
Curiously, they have long lives because they are an ancient basal breed that has not been mismanaged through inbreeding. |

Does anyone know if Presa Canario dogs are classified as a dangerous breed, and therefore banned?
I have been unable to find a definitive answer.
They are a mastiff (molosser) dog from the Canary Islands. |
