I'm with you on boxers. They are the breed of my heart. I've had them since I was a child. At one time we had 6 in our house. Unfortunately, I lost my last boxer, a female in 2012 and my male in 2010. I now have a 7 year old pitbull who I got when he was 8 weeks old and he was raised by my female boxer. He acts like a boxer. I often say he is a boxer in a pitbull disguise,

I have had a number of diffent breeds of dogs. I think my favorite large breeds are an Irish Wolfhound and German Shepards both are wonderful family dogs, when trained properly and socialized properly. For a small breed it is again a tie between the llaha apso and a border terrier. But the most important quality in all of my dogs are they are rescue dogs from reliiable rescue organizations.

That really is a tough question. We've had several purebeds and a few mutts over the years. Most of our dogs have been big, huge dogs until about 8 years ago. The big ones were getting too difficult to handle so eventually we got 2 smaller dogs. Over the years we've had a Hungarian Puli, an English Mastiff, an Old English Sheepdog, an Irish Wolf hound and a Bouvier. At this point we rescued a mix breed that was medium sized. After he passed away we rescued a Chinese Crested mix (a breed I have always wanted), at the same time we also rescued a long haired Chihuahua. They were all great dogs. If I absolutely had to pick which breed was my favorite, I would have to say our Chinese Crested. He's on the smaller side, doesn't shed cause he's hairless and is a real clown. If money were no object and space wasn't an issue, I'd get one of each again. I do love the big ones though.

Siberian Huskies can't be beat. They are stunners with all the color combos and the killer
blue eyes on many. Not to mention they just kill with the perfect eyeliner every time. They
are the biggest goof balls. They never fail to entertain me. Love their zoomies and how they
talk. Just too much fun.

Still Dutch Shepherds working on 4th, I think I’m wrapped around her dew claw. All rescues!
Despite her pulling her 50 pound bin of food, across kitchen floor, through dining room to rest mid carpet, with an additional 50 lb’s of packed laptops (big box).
She apparently disliked my going off in search of more food for both of us.

I've got a couple of Beagle dogs, and I just adore having them around. They are such a friendly, good natured dog, and so good with children.
They also get along with all the other dogs in the neigbourhood and I've trained them get along with my cat.
They do occassionaly bark when a person they don't know visits us, but they are easily won over after a bit of a pat - so for that reason the beagle doesn't maked a good guard dog.
The one thing that they do love to do is go hunting, and they love hunting together, bit like a pack, so I plant a few treats in the backyard and then get them to go hunt.
I've had other breeds of dogs before, but for my the beagle is my favourite, they intelligent, very curious and rarely aggresive, not to mention, they have an awesome sense of smell.
