What's your favourite breed or cross of dog?
Removing all the issues around selective breeding ect, purely base your decision on looks abd temperament.
Just bored shitless. 
My favourites are boxers, sheep dog breeds, and lake land terriers. |

My line is that the dog should atleast have the tenacity to protect its home, and that it should seem to want to learn abd interact with its family.

Rescued.
As for selective breeding, that needs to be done or you’ll end up with dogs in constant pain due to hip or elbow dysplasia, or brachy breeds being unable to breathe properly - pugs especially should not have their noses so flat into their face that they need an operation to enable them to breathe. Even GSDs suffer bad backs due to the rubbish breeding the Kennel Club has allowed over the decades, and they end up with sloping backs. If you’re (or any responsible breeder) is going to breed then they must do hip/elbow scores and look at both dogs, health traits etc to make sure nothing unwanted will be bred into the future puppies |

Did you know that if your dog bites anyone that is either invited or breaks into your home and said dog is “protecting” it’s home, that dog could be seized & be destroyed with a label of ‘dangerous’ put on it? |

I have a rescue staffie cross
Had him 10 years now
Like me, his beard is going grey, his legs give him gyp from time to time, but there's still plenty left in him yet
He gives back far more than he takes
He's the worlds best back warmer on cold nights |

AKC standard German Shepherds are the preferred by Crufts judges but your right they have lots of problems.
My GSD is European Standard with German lines, always had European standard GS, No slope back, and none of my dogs have ever had hip or back issues either. |

I wasn’t talking about the American kennel club.
It’s very rare to find a GSD without a sloped back, even if it’s just a smidge, but the ones shown at Crufts are horrendously deformed. This also happens in Arab horses, they now prefer to see a large dip in the horses face that ecentuates (sp) the forehead and nostrils
That said, I do love GSDs and until 2019 had GSD x collie type. Also love Wired Haired Fox Terriers |

Jack Russell terrier. Loyal and feisty. My perfect dog. I've had many of them over the years and none of them yappy either which puts people off them I think.
Only downside is that they love to follow their noses and sometimes have selective hearing when you call them back! |

Doesn’t have to bite, just barking at an intruder (in the dogs eyes) will be enough to label it dangerous - wrong I know but there you are. even staffies can be seized off the street if they look to be of pit bull and labelled dangerous, it then goes to court for a judge to say what is to happen to the dog even if it has shown no aggression whatsoever |

The American standard is the standard that you describe though with the slope back. Definitely gained popularity as that was the standard that the judge on the day of Crufts preferred.
It did cause controversy in the GSD world, I know many breeders and other judges who were appalled at the obvious pain that the GSD who won best in show was in at the time
They certainly aren't rare in my GSD world

Saffron, I have a Shih Tzu boy too! We ADORE him. He is thick as mince, bless his heart, with no real idea of what is going on ever. He is also quite naughty (especially regarding food) and with the biggest air of entitlement 
He brings so much love, laughter and joy to our home every day. Best decision I ever made. |

Sounds like my old boy Homer  (named by the kids 16 years ago) he has nothing between his ears but he’s bloody adorable!! Blind, deaf and has dementia.. I’d be lost without the daft old bugger! They’re a gorgeous loving breed |

Thank you! It’s nice to hear a bloke say that.
A small dog isn’t what I’d ordinarily have gone for, but I had a fairly strict set of requirements, and his breed fitted the bill.
Sometimes I just find myself staring soppily into his gorgeous big googly brown eyes And I don’t even care when his snorting and snoring keep make awake  |

Definitely rescued.
I do have a soft spot for big slobbery lumps though, and have had the pleasure of having four mastiffs (think I'd avoid a Neo again though unless one was in dire need, they're such a handful). My childhood companion was a golden retriever who had the most gentle soul. Every staffy I've ever had the pleasure to meet has been adorable and abundantly affectionate, and I wouldn't hesitate to have one by my side. Boxers are also superb furry friends. I'd absolutely love a bloodhound or two. Or an Irish Wolfhound.
Basically, any dog, I just love dogs...although I definitely prefer big dogs, I think after having so many big oafs I'd tread on a small dog far too often   |

I love all doggos to be honest. I’d love to have one myself but live alone and work full time so always felt it was unfair to leave one at home all day. I have cats instead which basically don’t give a stuff if I’m home or not as long as they get fed. I started a new job in summer and will be permanently working from home so I’ve been searching for an old rescue dog to take on. I thought it would be nice to give some poor old timer a quiet warm house to live out their senior years. Its hard to find one that can live with cats though. I will keep looking |

"
I’m aware the Pit Bull is a banned breed, however if you had a PB in the UK at the time it was added to the list of banned breeds, then it must be muzzled in public, on a lead at all times in public, insured and registered with your local police station. If you fail to do any of these things, the dog will be seized. But I didn’t actually say anything about Pit Bulls. What I said was that a dog can be seized off the street if it looks to be pit bull type, that means that if it’s a large Staffie, and it’s measurements are the same as that of a PB then it is deemed to be of Pit Bull type and seized.
Re overhaul of DDA - vets are only calling out for a repeal of Section 1 of the Act. Which prohibits the ownership of certain breeds types that are perceived to pose a risk to public safety. All in all ANY dog, regardless of breed can turn to aggression for whatever reason.

Great thinking, so many people think its good to get a dog and then don't have the time to look after them properly and leave them alone for far too long or worse. |

"Rescued.
As for selective breeding, that needs to be done or you’ll end up with dogs in constant pain due to hip or elbow dysplasia, or brachy breeds being unable to breathe properly - pugs especially should not have their noses so flat into their face that they need an operation to enable them to breathe. Even GSDs suffer bad backs due to the rubbish breeding the Kennel Club has allowed over the decades, and they end up with sloping backs. If you’re (or any responsible breeder) is going to breed then they must do hip/elbow scores and look at both dogs, health traits etc to make sure nothing unwanted will be bred into the future puppies "

We lost our lovely old boy back in July and I am still missing him like crazy. He was our second dog. Don't know that our circumstances are still ok to take on another dog and it would break my heart to take one on, only to find ourselves in a position where we can no longer care for it and have to give it up. |

"Spaniels
I would like a Munsterlander and a Burnese Mountain dog too.
My friend has a Bernese
She's only a few months out of pup stage, but she's just a massive bundle of fun and love "
Oh I'm envious! I adore them!

Now this is my kind of thread!!
I work with dogs and love it but it really is an eye opener I love most dogs but I’m a terrier girl through and through! I’ve got a particular passion for working with nervous dogs, I just love seeing them blossom |

Springer Spaniels, absolutely love them! I like all gundog and other working breeds, and most terriers, which usually have character, even if it's bad character! I don't dislike any dogs, but feel sorry for many toy and other genetically distorted 'fashionable' breeds that have been bred for show and have become an unhealthy perverted version of what is undoubtedly man's best friend.
'The more that I see of people, the more I love dogs'.
When learning to read when very young I apparently said: 'To me dog and God look very much the same', and many would say that I am still conceptually if not etymologically confused! |

We have a 9 month old fox red Labrador. He is a star, he wants to be everyone's friend, he's so excited to see you whether you've been away for 5 mins or 5 hours, very clean and so eager to please |

"I have a Cane Corso! She's absolutely gorgeous!
Love them. Ears not cropped i hope."
Unfortunately she is cropped and docked, not by me, she is a rescue! |
