Do you like dogs or cats better and why? How many of each do you have?

At this point I have two dogs, a Sheltie and a miniature Sheltie, and nine cats. Six of those cats are kittens though, we're trying to find good homes for them.
I like dogs more, I think they're really loveable and very loyal. They are always happy to see you and are always willing to make you feel better. Cats are great too, but I think they tend to be much more independent than dogs.
What do you think?

That's a hard pick for me. I love them Both - I guess the scale would tip a little more in favor of the dog though. I have both. I have 4 dogs (used to be 5) and at present- counting kittens... 20 cats.
I have 2 Collies, 2 collie mixes and both long and short hair cats. for the most part everyone gets along. I read that you loved the big dogs.. and that is my preference too. -My dream dog would be a Harlequin Great Dane.

I looked at your picture, all your dogs look beautiful!! My grandparents raised collies, and my aunt had a short haired collie/German shepherd mix. He was a great dog. =]
Haha I would love a big dog like that..but probably only if it was short-haired....I can't imagine grooming all those collies!!
Thanks for replying!

Like you I like dogs more than cats. At present I have two pets and they are dogs. They are couple, one is pure black and the other is a combination of black and white. That's true they are very lovable and loyal. We don't have cats because once our dog seen any cats around they will quarrel. We don't want that to happen. I pity those cats, we can see that dogs are more advantageous in their size. It's good that you have them both and have no problem at all.
Regards to them he he

Aw they sound cute!! I've grown up with Shelties, right now I have a tan and white Sheltie and a tan and white miniature Sheltie. I used to also have a black and white Sheltie, and she was my other Sheltie's companion, he really loved her alot. I ended up getting my miniature sheltie just before we had to have our female put to sleep, she had a lot of awful skin conditions and was just miserable. =[ But Rainbow, the mini, helped our other dog Shiloh so much after that, I'm really glad she was there to get his mind off losing his friend.

My vote goes to dogs because dogs have always been in my life since I was a baby. I don't have any dogs right now, but I plan on getting another one soon for my daughter. Two of my favorite breeds are Golden Retriever and Labrador because they are good with children and very smart and friendly. We live in an apartment now and I don't want to have pets here, I want to wait until we move into our new house with the big backyard, and plus I want to wait until my baby is at least maybe 2 years old.

Awww I love Golden Retrievers and Labradors. I love big dogs in general, but Shelties have always been my pick since they have such great characteristics all around. They're great protectors, and very playful and loving.
I think mastiffs and great danes are amazing because they're so big! At our fair recently I saw a mastiff that came up to my waist, and he was the most gentle dog I've ever met! I'd rather have a dog I can actually hug and rub their big ears than those little itty bitty dogs you can hardly get your hands on!
Hope you get a great puppy!!

I am definately a dog person. I have 4 dogs, A shepherd/husky cross, a blue/red heeler, and 2 papillons. My daughter has 2 cats. I think that dogs have more outgoing personalities. And besides my dogs protect me and my family, that is very important to me. I just can't picture the cats protecting me. Although that would be very funny.
