favourite breed of dog

[MegTheFish]

Dogs from breeder's need homes too though...you know.

If you buy from a breeder you are just incouraging them to breed even more dogs when there are more then enough in this world.

I have only ever gotten my animals from shelters or as streys. But to say you are encouraging a breeder to keep breeding is kind of harsh. You can say the same thing about adopting the poor puppies from the box at the grocery store. At least with a breeder the dog and puppies tend to be getting good care. Not to mention most breeders have homes planned well in advance for the puppies.

Our dog is a mixed poodle and shiztu. She is very smart and full of love. We kid about her intelligence from time to time though. There was an article I believe last year that ranked breeds by intelligence. Border Collies were #1 and poodles were #2. Shiztus, however were like #75 out of 80. Anyway, when she does something really dumb (like fall out of the chair when she's rolling around on her back playing) we say that's the shiztu in her. She is the joy (and the ruler) of our house. If you want to see what she looks like, just look up spoiled in the dictionary.

My favorite dog though is a lab. They are wonderful dogs.

Edit: I will agree with the comments about mutts. Mixed breeds make some of the best companions you will find. Papers don't make a dog good.

australian sheperd, australian cattle dog (heeler), and i have always loved huskeys as well.

on the note of the mutts, both of mine are. Oreo I know is heeler and something else... precious is border collie/mutt (mom is a mutt, dad is a border collie). I have also never had a full breed dog, cant say I will never get one.... but I will NEVER pay more than $100 for a dog. (although free, or the $65 adoption fee is much better)

I am partial to Boston Terriers. They have such a sweet personality. This is my baby Maggie at 6 months old. If you ask her if she is tired, this is the face you get.

Sorry

I like the smaller terriers. Great alarm system, don't shed, don't eat much. I had a westie years ago, I have a cairn now. He helps in the fishroom, I can throw food at the tanks, anything that hits the floor he takes care of.
