What's your favorite breed you've never owned?
I've never had a golden retriever, but I just love them. Also smooth-coated collies. I love the appearances of dalmations and irish setters, but suspect they have too much energy for me.
I also love labradors and border collies, but I have a lab/border collie mix, so I count that as "sort ot" having owned them. ~LM~ |

My favourite dog we ever owned, we got when I was a little kid, he was left at the end of our driveway with a bag of food. We saw him when we turned in the drive, he was just sitting there besid ehis food, kind of waiting for my my mum to agree to keeping him. As soon as she said yes, he started checking out the place and made himself comfy. He was a super sweet, extremely smart, Bearded Collie mix.

I can't answer this one, as liking a certain breed of dog, does not mean that you will love the one you get. But you can end up with the last type of dog you would ever expect to get and find you that this is the second best type of dog for you.

A Pit Bull or a bull Terrier (curisous if the bull terrier falls under ontario's breed ban?)

Are you talking only dogs here or cats too? I'm a cat lover and love Persians. I always wanted to own a Chinchilla Persian and strangely I just got one from the shelter. I guess that doesn't count though since it's supposed to be a breed I've never had. My next choice is Maine Coon, those great big gentle cats.

Every dog I have ever owned has been my favorite, min poodle, long haired sheperd, shepard/collie mix, Then the unimaginable happend(gasp) I met a pit bull and did'nt even know it at the time, this was the sweetest dogs I had met in a long time, I asked the guy what kind it was and he said "pit bull" I was speachless, I thought all pit bulls were mean nasty dogs that attacked people without warning, Then I meet a second pit bull, and it was sweeter than the first one, then I realized news papers are full of it, and only tell you what they want you to think, not what you need to know. Now I'm hooked on bully breeds, and I would love to get a Saffordshire Bull Terrier some day.

To be honest with you the rottweiler is my favorite breed. I can not picture having another breed in my home.

Oh bluntman, I agree 100% with you!! I think Pitties will always be my favorite "breed." I fell head over heels in love with my ex's dog. He was my first experience with a Pit Bull. And he loved me more than his owner!! Once we were seperated, I knew, when it was my time to get a dog - that's the one I wanted!!

I'm a HUGE pit lover, but if I have to pick something that I've never owned it would be a Newfoundland. I have ridden one when I was really young. A friend of my parents had one.

There are many breeds that I would love to own and hope to some day. I love whippets, greyhounds, boxers, "pit bull" type dogs, bull terriers, bullmastiffs and bulldogs. Those are just some of the dog breeds that I can think of right now. As for cat breeds, I absolutely love siamese cats. They have the most dog like personalities than any other cat that I know. Would like to own one some day.

I've only owned 2 dogs in my life (thus far), a border collie/shepard mix, and my current basenji-PB mix, so there's ALOT of favorites I've never owned... at the top of my favorite list are the Boxers, Danes, Dobe's, and of course, the adorable little pugs.

Hmm...that's a hard one...Probably a saluki, ibizan hound, rhodesian ridgeback bull terrier, greater swiss mountain dog or any of the larger French hounds...
What a ridiculous list!! I'd have to do a lot of adjusting depending on which breed I chose! With regards to cats - probably a Bengal or Balinese...maybe a Maine Coon.

MUTTS!!! I love mutts. I had a great mutt that they thought was a mix of black lab, and some sort of bully breed.
But again I am a converted pit bull lover, never a hater but very reluctant of them. I met my first one when I met Capone. The personality these dogs have is remarkable. I have never met a dog other then the mutt Ihad that was so rich in personality and character. One word best to describe a well owned pit bull is that they are true clowns and have a sense of humour. My Mutt was the same. I also owned a Scottish terrier and a border collie. The border collie was the smartest dog I have ever owned. I really would love for the next time to get a great dane if I can't get a pit bull. I really love large dogs. I also want to get a rottie, I have met some really sweet ones. As for cats never had one so I would be happy just to have one. BF won't let me

I have a couple and all for different reasons. But my absolute favourite is a Shiba Inu (http://www.shibaweb.com/index.htm). They are absolutely beautiful dogs, but not for the novice dog owner. If you think pitties have a lot of energy, you should see these dogs. I was going to get one in the summer and was about to put my name on the list with a breeder for a puppy (between $800-$1500 a pup), then my sister asked me if I would take Sprint. A choice I would never change.
The other two are Chesapeake Bay Retriever and German Short Hair Pointer. For the hunter in me and looking for a best friend to come with me. I love to go do stuff in the outdoors, but I feel bad for leaving Sprint at home. |

Does it count if you had it when you were too young to remember? I had a newf when I was really little, (I don't remember her) and for some reason whenever I see a newf, I get a physical reaction. Like instant love.
But I also want a dane, chesapeake bay (love them curly locks), whippet, and pug, in that order. And if I grow a lot of patience, maybe a Weimeraner... |

I'd really like to have a dane and an english bull dog. I've been around danes and like their gentle nature. I've never even seen an english bull dog in real life, but they are sooo cute.

I really like Nova Scotia Duck Tollers, and probably my next choices would be a Finnish Spitz, a Karelian Bear Dog and a Newf.....and as many mutts from the shelters as I could take

"I really like Nova Scotia Duck Tollers"
A friend of mine has one, she is one of the smartest dogs I have ever seen. And likes to "fetch" all sorts of stuff. In a walk; it will start with a toy, usually a ball, in her mouth, and end with the toy, a couple pine cones, a stick or two, and anything else she can fit in her mouth at the same time. |
