[ynnafymmi]

Border Collies.Ive always had one and always will.

[Zacs-Master]

I'm in Spain at the moment and border collies seem to be very popular over here.

A working-strain labrador. Mine was a superb b8tch - empathic, guard for the children ..... she simply put herself between the child and a stranger cooing at the baby and watched the person carefully. I did working training with her - gun dog trials using dummies - to keep her happy and on her toes. I loved her, have her photo on display now, and still miss her.
After that - a lab x german shepherd x border collie. Highly intelligent mix. I've had a couple of very goood mongrels and the current one is a tyke.

2nd choice would be a certain German Shepard. He was an ex police dog and very protective of his family and their close friends. Although know to be quite aggressive he was gentleness itself with my children when they played with him.

To be totally honest, and i'm whispering this, i don't particularly have a 'favourite' breed. Prior to Milo, i had Molly for 15 years, during which time she proved to be the most loyal and trusting dog i've ever known. I have 9 grandchildren and eight of them were born while Molly was alive. She welcomed all eight without fuss and grew to love them, and they, her. The softest dog on the planet, but fiercely protective of those she loved.
When i got her as a pup, i was told she was a miniature Doberman, and while she did appear to have some Doberman in her, Molly was a 'Heinz 57' dog - part this, part that and part t'other.

That's a lovely story Ken.

I looked after a friend's Afghan hound for three months some years ago. Beautiful friendly dog but took a lot of looking after.

My daughter fostered husky type dogs for a rescue centre for many years and I was very tempted to adopt a Samoyed but didn't really have the time to commit to proper exercising.

On balance my favourite breed is a Sheltie

[MissTerious2]

No favourites, but only ever had mixed breeds of all shapes and sizes over the last fifty years who needed new homes and loved them all.

[ToraToraTora]

Jack Russel, so much courage and character. I have 2.

When we bought our first UK house and daughter was about 4, we got our first and only family dog. She was a mix...labrador, gsd, border collie and whippet. She ran like a whippet and looked like a collie. She was the best ever dog for our daughter to grow up with. She was put to sleep at the age of about 15...2 weeks after I left my ex. We all held her and cried.

[Hazlinny]

Never owned a dog but been around those belonging to friends ,,,,
liked them all - collies, labradors but most of all a little black/tan mongrel, such a loving, energetic dog who just loved beach walks and playing in the sea.

[Tilly2]

German Shepherds. Easy to train, intelligent, loving and protective. Top dog for me.
Staffies would be number two.

[Patsy33]

Golden Retrievers.

[rowanwitch]

Springer spaniels, because they love learning new things and because they are so huge soft and loving Newfoundlands. Would love a newfie, if I ever won the lottery and had a home with a lake one of two would be on my wish list

[davebro]

Basenji - they don't bark!

[barry1010]

But they do yodel, Dave, and you'd still have a dog and have to bark yourself
