I don't mean to, because I love dogs, but I'm going to be a downer here.
I used to have favorite dog breeds, mainly Brittanys and English Setters.
As I've gotten older, I've come to believe that dog breeding is not a very good idea in general.
Not all, but most dog breeds no longer serve the purpose for which they were developed in the first place.
Many breed attributes were developed just to see how far someone could go with an absurd trait, such as the smashed noses of the bulldog type breeds, to the detriment of the health of those breeds.
All of this has promoted severe health problems in almost all breeds, in my opinion.
So, while I still do find particular breeds to be beautiful, cute, funny, useful for a particular purpose, or attractive for any number of reasons, I'm no longer a fan of dog breeding.
Which begs the question, of course, "Would I want a wolf as a pet?"
Of course not, it just seems that dog breeding got way out of hand.
I don't know where to say that I think it should have ended.
I've thought about the subject, but haven't come up with an answer that satisfies me yet.

[Aimée__LJ]

I totally agree that breeding for the purpose of selling/ making dogs look a certain way is wrong. Adopt don't shop and all that. But you can still have a love for a certain breed or combo of breeds

[nolabels]

Yeah, I do still still have a fondness for certain breeds.
It's just that once I started thinking about dog breeding some years ago, I can't think of the subject without thinking of some of the negatives.
Enjoy your Great Dane if you have one. I agree that they are goofballs.

[Aimée__LJ]

I don't have one unfortunately but my friend does have one (a rescue)

[anylolone]

The overly loving type that likes to lick faces and get's all exited with basically any human!

[anon1903]

I'm not picky. I love all of them. Especially the friendly ones, I'd give away my last meal to them. For a cynic , they sure turn me a sweetheart with their warmth. Wish I could have a pet.

[Jazquee]

I am an all dog lover. But if I had to choose one breed it would be Rottweiler.
They are loyal
Playful
Funny
Protective
Sensitive
And beautiful

I actually came to love the Chihuahua as a teen. Wasn't my top choice (my mother's) and I heard the stereotype of them as yappy dogs but the one I had was really nice. Old photo from around 27 years ago:

He was also unbelievably smart. I had dogs before him and it took ages just to teach them some drinks. He learned over 15 tricks in one day, including very difficult ones like walking on two feet across the entire room and giving me a high-five. I was amazed since before it took me a long time just to teach a dog how to shake.

[TurboKid]

[...] just to teach them some [/tricks, whoops] [...]
He also wasn't yappy at all. He was kind of soulful and liked to be held and cuddled a lot. When taking him on walks, if he spotted a big dog, he'd scratch my leg since he got scared and wanted to be held.

On the big side, I like the Huskies although I never got to own one, like Mishka:

Yellow Labrador.

I had one when I was a boy.
He was big.
He got up to 105 lbs.
He was fast. I got him to chase me in the car. He topped out at 30 MPH for just a little while, a few seconds.
He was smart and good natured.
When I joined the military my mom took him for a walk and he killed the mayor's cat.
She gave him away...😩

[Andres77]

Are those your tats?
😳
Very cool!

[Aimée__LJ]

Yep thank you

[Andres77]

👍...

[GuyWithaBrain]

Akita is the one i pick at this current moment as i have seen the movie Hachi it brings tears to my eyes how well that dog was behaved though im sure there was training involved but the story makes me want a dog like that for they show much support and care to their master/owner and that is showing some love!

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Black mouth cur! (the one at the middle is my dog) they are all purpose and they look so sad.

[TwistedTube]

Samoyed! 100%. Who can't like these floofy, beautiful and eternally young looking dogs (whose pups look like small little bears 🥺)

[rievious]

This should be a poll. I choose siberian huskys.

[Aimée__LJ]

Way too many dog breeds for a poll my dude

[rievious]

Is there a limit?

[Aimée__LJ]

Yes. 8 I think

[Leavesbound]

Black labs. Every one I have ever met has had a wonderful temperament.

[have_a_good_day]

I like black Pug dogs and want one and want to call him Puggles.
I also adore Staffies.
A Staffie once farted in my face when I picked it up to sit with me on the couch.
The winds of change were indeed blowing.

Tie St. bernards and bull mastiff
although I’m more of a cat person
One time when I was little I found a puppy and decided to take it home with me I assumed it was a mutt but when I got to the house my guardian screamed at me and told me to put it out I didn’t think she would freak out that much over a little puppy and when I asked why she said that wasn’t a dog it was a coyote 😳😂😂

[DeeDeeDeVour]

German Shepherd

Border Collies. Very loyal and intelligent. Needs loads or exercise.

My neighbour has a Great Dane Doberman breed. Basically a pony. If I wasn’t scared of dogs, he’d be my option.
