Dog Breed Discussion

My sister has huskies and they are fantastic dogs. Really smart, really easy-going and they never bark. They dig alot though, and they need a lot of exercise.

I've had so many breeds of dogs in my life that it would be hard to name them. The last dog I had was pure mutt...a mixture of a bulldog, chow, and something else..the best, most good natured dog I ever had..He was very loyal, fantastic with kids and other dogs, and we had an awful lot of fun with him. I've had purebred dogs and mutts, they were all good, but honestly I think the mutts are just the best all around dogs to have.

I had a schnauzer before and she was so adorable and affectionate and had no problems with her whatsoever. She was the best dog that me and my family have ever had and she was playful and energetic. I would definitely recommend a schnauzer to anyone who wants a dog.

i read that some of the more family friendly dogs are labrador retrievers and golden retrievers. but i have not had them before as pets so i cant say for sure. also every dog has its own personality regardless of the breed characteristics so its best to interact with your pespective pet first before adopting or buying the puppy to see if it has a friendly personality.

I grew up with big dogs and most of my life I had Bouvier De Flanders and now We own a French Briard. I found that they make perfect family dogs and are great with kids.Contrary to believes big dogs do not need much space although they do need to be exercised at least three times a day but besides that they just lay around.Since they are so big kids can do pretty much anything with them without hurting them and when they are fed up with the attention they'll just walk away as opposed to little breeds who tend to get feisty.

the new and upcoming breed the Labradoodle. Great dog, very smart and don't shed. They tend to about 50 pounds so I don't recomend them for indoor dogs but they are great with children.

To protect and be a body guard the best choices are a pittbull or a k9. Be careful: pittbulls accept only 1 or 2 bosses. Saint Bernards dogs are good for families also. They also adore children and they always protect them with their lives.

well i own a dog breed name rotwhiler his name is FIZZY he is very active

We have had many types of dogs. Mostly outdoor ones since my husband is allergic. We had a Bench leg Beagle that was smart and good with the kids but to smart for his own good. He figured out how to unhook himself from his chain and got hit by a car. Labs are great with kids but a bit big for indoors. Mini dauchounds are ok but they think they are people. And if you upset them they do petty little things to get back at you. When my husband would clip Phoebe's nails she would litterally stick her nose up at him and ignore him for awhile. They also bark alot. Mutts come in all sizes and so far the ones we had were good with kids.

If you don't want a dog that is prone to almost every health problem on the planet including bladder stones, pancreatitis and bad dental issues... or want a dog that is hyper all the time and barks all the time, and has problems controlling their bowels, then don't get a Schnauzer! We have one, and we have a lot of problems with him. Besides I know of many who also have had issues with their Schnauzers but I have heard that the new mixed breed golden retriever and poodle mix are really nice!

I have German Shepherd and American Eskimo. German Shepherd went completely well but the american Eskimo are not so good. Although they are the most intelligent of all the dogs but I prefer German shepherd.

I've grown up with German Shepherds, my parents used to breed them and now with my own family they're the only type of dog I would have. They're great family dogs, generally intelligent - at least when they want to be, good for guarding - usually if people know you have a shepherd in your backyard they'll keep away, even if it is the sookiest dog you've ever come across, and wonderful with kids. When I was younger, my parents also had a shetland sheepdog (for some reason they wanted a smaller dog) he was pretty good but you need to have time to keep them well-groomed he was also in a way very territorial and he got it in his mind that I was his territory. Whenever my boyfriend at the time would come around the dog would spend his whole time growling and barking at him. They're probably pretty good dogs for those that want a smaller dog, but I've always preffered the big dogs - they don't get under your feet making you constantly trip over them:-)

my dog is a staffordshire bull terrier,he is the best dog i have ever had easy to train and is fantastic with my three children,it was his first bithday yesterday an the kid bought him some treats, the worst dog i ever had was a border collie all he wanted to do was run chasing anything that moved,he only had a short life,when he was about 18 months old i answered the door and he ran out he was chasing a car and the back wheels caught him

I wana make a my own breed of dog that you do not see very often. A Bulldog and a shitsu to make a bullshit. it would be a humoruse dog but i think it would be pretty cool.

Well, most of my cousins have has retrievers and cocker spaniels, so those are my two faves.

Most breeds are wonderful in their own ways. I have seen great affection from labradors, king charles spaniels and I had a great australian terrier.

I have owned mostly mutts and pitbulls.I do not think it has to do with the breed of dogs i think it has to do with the way the dog is raised if the dog is raised good then the dog should be good with families.

german sheperd

We have a silver dapple dotson, a weiner dog, and he is the funniest little thing! He was hard to house break though. That's the only major problem we had with him. He's very playful, loves the kids and loves to cuddle! Labradors are also great dogs. We have a 14 year old yellow lab, never had any problems with her. She's smart too, I swear she's human! Very loyal dogs and they love the water. We also have a Black lab he's still a pup, well a teenager and a bologna head at times but he's learning and he's turning out to be a great family pet. We had a chiuaua a few years ago and all that thing wanted to do was pee all over the house and bite everyone.

Any kind of collie/sheepdog needs not only lots of exercise but also a task to do. These are working dogs, very intelligent and they can become quite frustrated if they don't have a task. Spaniels are similar - a cross between the 2 breeds will drive anybody to drink!!!
