I used to have a Weimaraner, I lost her a while back. Taken me a while to get over it.
I'm now thinking of getting another dog. I saw the cutest Dachshund puppy the other day, but they're so tiny. I've always liked Labradors and Beagles too.

My brother breeds pugs, there's a new litter of six born about 3 weeks ago and I'd love to take one but working away a lot means it's not really practical |

Have had a Labrador, Retriever and now a Lurcher. Lurcher loves being out & about, but is sloth-like as soon as he get indoors & no trouble at all. Has an occasional dart around the house with a toy, but then back to sleep  |

Watch out for Alabama foot rot if you like walking them out in the countryside.
It's not very prevalent but it's out there!.
Advise is to make sure you wash there feet off well after returning home |

We have a black lab and a white husky/malamute mix.
The dogs I tend to like are huskies and Australian shepards, Marc likes labs.
But really I just love all dogs. I'd have 5 of them if Marc let me. |

We've got a dachshund, great breed of you fancy a challenge and a battle of wits.
Notoriously stubborn, hard to house train. But have the biggest personalities and will have you crying with laughter at their antics.
Let us know how you get on trying to recall after they've picked up a scent too 
And they firmly believe it's written into the dachshund bill of rights to sleep under the bedcovers.  |

I've got a Jack Russell... He's the only dog I've even had so I can't really say any other breed would be my favourite.
He's soooooo cute and funny...he certainly knows how to wrap me around his paws!! |

I work with dogs and own a basset hound
Dachshunds are very sweet, loveable, stubborn and funny! I have a miniature one that stays with me regularly who loves nothing more than to hide behind something, wait until my dog is passing and jump out and chase her, very funny to watch.
Finding a breed to suit your lifestyle, wants and needs is difficult, luckily with my work I've been able to 'try out' a LOT of breeds, including these crossbreed designer mongrels.
Just take your time, and meet breeders, owners and talk to trainers to see what obstacles you may need to face. Probably sounds daft but the more work you do before getting a dog, the easier it will be later on

I like bigger dogs, my lurcher cross is the softest, most loyal creature ever.
Although he does need to man up to my sister's Llaso and my mum's dalmatian is just batshit!! |

I had a semi long coat German Shepherd rescue for 8 years, he was the best dog anyone could wish for and I don't think I could ever replace him. I also didn't realise how much he affected my allergies until he wasn't here anymore. I'd love another dog of similar temperament but without the coat so looking at dobermans for once the kids are at school full time.
I'd also love a mini dachshund but don't think I could cope with another stubborn petulant child at the moment lol

People have no idea of how stubborn they are. And I'd recommend avoiding them if you don't want a dog that thoroughly enjoys barking |

Always had collies but when I was with my x we got bulldog. Best dog in the world but was quite high maintenance. He also got cancer at a young age and had to be put to sleep. Currently have a staffie x rottie. As much as I love her thanks to her start in life she is quite hard work. So if I had a choice I would definitely have another collie or a sealyham terrier |

I love the little pain in the bum I have sitting on my lap at the moment. He has to be touching me if I'm sitting down or asleep,even if it's the tip of his nose or a leg draped over my shoulder. His nose is currently wedged into my belly button and he had hiccups. He's a cross between a PomChi and a Jack Russell. I love all dogs |

I had two labradoodles, one standard size and one small, extremely bouncy, lively and energetic, full of fun, and the friendliest dogs ever, not always a good thing as next to impossible to stop them jumping up and greeting everyone very enthusiastically, great if they were dog lovers, not so much if not
Suppsedly non moulting, but dont believe a word of that, there was hair everywhere, but so worth it   |

I work with dogs and have spent lots of time with multiple breeds.
German or Belgium shepherds are my favourite. Also love Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
Last dog was a lurcher (Belgium shepherd/whippet) and was an amazing dog.
Least favourite breeds are spaniels, Huskies and beagles. All way too high maintenance. |

i have a greyhound, never been a dog ive been that bothered about, fait bought him to me, he isn't upto racing standard so the breeder was going to drown him, i took him home at 6 weeks old, had him 6 years in August and hes the love of my life, they are such laid back placid dogs, 100% couch potatos, he'll just snugle up at the side of you at stay there all day, recomend them to anybody
Also have a black lab, nice dogs but full of energy
dogs i really love are English bull terriers but the kids wouldn't let me have one because they are ugly  |

Used to own a border terrier.. Great companion and could walk for miles and miles in the Lake District. His best mate was a Bull mastiff rottweiler cross. Who was gentle as anything when they played. |

Don't ever get a dog because they look ace research of the breed is essential.
Bassets are fabulous my boy was an amazing loyal friend but he was also the most stubborn, lazy, slobbery, thieving little git ever but he got away with it because he'd look at me with those big sad eyes
Think the politician of the dog world...would only do something if he was going to get something good out of it!! |

I grew up with a German shepherd, my mum and dad got him when I was two and he died when I was 17.
My mum and dad never got another dog, even now 30 years later, they still wouldn't consider replacing him...
I would like an English otterhound or Germany shepherd but will wait a few more years until I have retired... |

Any spaniel is a perfect family dog, they live at your pace and are happy to lounge about the house or go on long walks. Springers need a lot of attention and exercise tho. My sister has got a Patterdale terrier, he is by far the cleverest dog I have ever seen. We were out with her dog and mine the other day, another dog was running towards my dog barking, he ran up behind this other dog and shoulder barged it out of the way just before it got to my dog, I was astounded. |

I have an american bandog mastiff. Bull mastiff xamerican bulldog x pitbull.
Was looking for a bandog or a argentino dogo or american bulldog for ages until I found him
My kids were getting into teens and not much interest in our long nature walks anymore so got the dog so we had a reason to keep it up.great interest for kids. Getting dog used to harness now for weight pulling
There's a local schutzhund club that would be beyond my guy to even pass the test to get into it it's so demanding but that's my aim with my next dog. Watching a handler harness a great dogs drive like that is something special.
Hope to get a top bloodline of argentino dogo for it before end of year

It's unfortunate that breeds are banned like that but not her in ireland. And what dog laws are here are unenforced. Dog attacks arent common here tho |

I've never had a positive experience handling a beagle. They're sweet enough natured when they want cuddles but the rest of the time, they're a bloody nightmare. In fairness, they have all been mismanaged and under stimulated. Not a breed that you want to give free rein to. |

I love dogs and have always had English springer spaniels, my beautiful girl is such a diva.
But my friend has a Dogue de Bordeaux and he is a gorgeous dog. He is huge, his head is massive but he is a kind, gentle giant. He does slobber though so you have to carry a towel around on walks, and he snores. I would like one |

My daugher has a greyhound cross whippet we affectionately named him a whiphound
When she took him to the vets and they asked what breed he was and my daugher said a whiphound the vets receptionist actually put it in the computer
Didn't even question it, its not even a frigging breed ffs and the vets receptionist took it |

"We have 2 Westies they are sisters and are gorgeous companions, and we have a one year old Chihuahua who is a complete cunt "
There was a programme called the dog whisperer from the states which highlighted different breeds of dog and the Chihuahua was the lead dog amongst this captive pack of dogs an american pitbull was one of them.. but followed the little guy.. |

I would love a saint bernard but with the hours i spend in work, anything upto a 14 hour day, it really is not fair to leave a dog alone for that long. Maybe when I retire I might go to the dogs home and provide a loving home to one |

We love all breeds of dog. We have a German Shepherd cross collie. Complete softie. Some breeds have a bad reputation but we wonder if that's down to they way they are treated from puppies. |

We have a Weimeraner, beautiful but so much hard work with separation anxiety, highly strung is an under statement, anyone thinking of getting one do not think you know better than everyone else and yours will not "be like that", I did loads of research but nothing could have prepared us, 10 times harder than kids!!!!! |

Staffies & Rottweilers are probably my favourites as I've got both and they are such misunderstood breeds.
Got a real soft spot for Dalmations, Huskies & German Shepherds as well. |

Of all the dogs I encounter professionally I'd recommended a German short haired pointers. Low maintenance, energetic but lovely and so friendly. I'd never met one until this year but now know two. They're just adorable.
That said, I've got the toy category of crufts at home with 4 little ones! My fave are my chihuahuas. Proper dogs but so compact and cheap to feed.
I love them all but wouldn't ever have a spaniel. Hard work and totally bonkers lol. Same for labradoodles .... |

Either way you got to love the personalities between big dogs and the small ones who run the show |

I'm a Patterdale mama. Crikey they are very active for such little dogs. They would be happy with 15 mile walks morning and night.
They're wonderful in the house. Very clean and affectionate. They love the shower and bath too. Quirky though. Hate the postman, hairdryer, vacuum, ironing board and the lawnmower. |

"Have had a Labrador, Retriever and now a Lurcher. Lurcher loves being out & about, but is sloth-like as soon as he get indoors & no trouble at all. Has an occasional dart around the house with a toy, but then back to sleep "
Can so relate to this, my Lurcher will walk miles and have a run on the beach, but then looks at you when get home as if to say, had enough I am in sleep mode now, leave me alone. |

My Dalmatian is awesome and so obedient for breed. He replaced my last two that were right little bastards but saw me through the tears and joys of life and I still miss them dearly. |

definitely. The respect the big one shows the little one is fantastic. Not sure if it's her age or cos she's smaller or that's he's just simply scared of her lol. X |

If it barks, kills toys and walks on a lead it's a dog!!!! They might be small but they've got great little characters and you couldn't have a black lab curled up asleep on your shoulder either, though I'd love to see you try lol |

"I used to have a Weimaraner, I lost her a while back. Taken me a while to get over it.
I'm now thinking of getting another dog. I saw the cutest Dachshund puppy the other day, but they're so tiny. I've always liked Labradors and Beagles too.
"
I've known a few Weimaraner's and there all been hard work. Too focused on killing things.
We have springer spaniels. They're good at flushing stuff out to be killed and then pick the corpes up and bring them to you |

"We've got a Mastwieller, it's a cross between a bull Mastiff and a Rottweiller, he's the softest dog you'd ever meet, love him!!!!
The names for these cross breed dogs are getting silly
Fancy names for mongrels "
Most dogs are mongrels. Even "pure breeds"
And the gene pools if these pure breeds are getting more depleted with lack of new blood
