BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Dogs Your favorite breed?

I had a wonderful Bichon Frise..... <img src="/images/graemlins/rolling.gif" alt="" /> Fun loving, adorable little fluffballs. Intelligent, funny and they respond well to affectionate training (at least mine did.)

Also have had great Yorkies.

My next dog will either be another Bichon or a Maltese.
(And before you say it at me, yes, I ADORE little dogs!)

Spay and Neuter your pets! <img src="/images/graemlins/rolling.gif" alt="" />

I have a Bichon Friese and I bought him to fill the empty crib syndrome. Don't really know what I did to deserve him because he is so loyal, never barks and of course never gives me any lip. TeeHee

...and isn't it fantastic that they don't shed??

and i love it when they do the "Bichon Blitz" - running as fast as those little legs will go in a "starburst" of doggie energy just for the sheer joy of being alive! <img src="/images/graemlins/rolling.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/rolling.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/rolling.gif" alt="" />

any Maltese, Shih-Tzu or Yorkie owners out there?

Gotta be a greyhound. Ours is adopted from the Mobile Track (awful places, tracks). We adopted her almost 5 years ago and she is just now getting us trained to do as she wishes.

We've always had mutts in our family. My two boys are shepherd!/Rott?-Jake and Lab/Malamute-Zeus. I feel sorry for my lab, we adopted him at age three and I think he came from a household of kids. He seems more interested in them than anything else, and we don't have any. Although at 95lbs he thinks he's a mini weiner dog.

My favorite breed, and I don't know that much about them, other than I saw them on a dog show was the Belgian shepherd. Just an incredibly beautiful animal. but, unless one ends up at the humane society, I don't see it in my stars. Too many animals without homes already.

I love all the spaniels! My medical alert dog is an English Cocker or English Cocker mix, from the county shelter.

I want a Great Dane! I like big dogs, though sometimes I'm afraid to come close to them.:-)

and I started to like wolfhounds, too, after seeing Disney's Eight Below. Those were wolfhounds, right?

I think the dogs in Eight Below were Huskies or some sort of Cross-Polar dog.

Wolfhounds are hunting dogs, not sled dogs. I have a weakness for wolfhounds, my neighbors when I was a teen had three and they were beautiful dignified animals. They would sit down on the couch next to visitors with all four paws on the floor.

We saw a lab /unknown cross dog at the dogpark last week and I'm pretty sure it was part Irish Wolfhound. It was a great dog too.
