My family have kept them going back years, they are gorgeous looking dogs, you always get people stopping to "oooh and ahhh" at them when you're walking them. They are full of character and often think they know best, can be very wilful and are very entertaining.

From the bigger variety I also love Retrievers and Labradors...very lovable and easy going dogs..
HATE pitbulls and similar breeds !!!!

I never planed on bring a dog into my home. The only thing I regret is feeling our walks became a chore. But it was mostly I didn't want my son to be jealous of me taking the dog out over him. Never thought of it that way till now. 5-6 years ago wasn't exactly a happy time for me.
What a dog, legendary! Ask any one... I remember when I first got him placing his teeth on the skin was less noticeable than two feathers. He was a rescue dog found in the streets, previous person who had him abused him. I never put a collar on him but used a choker for walks just till I could take it off. He caught a rabbit and squirrel placed both at my feet. I let him eat them only to discover the next morning he regurgitated them in his room. Got afew bruises on my leg due to his eagerness to great people, his tail wagged so violently it lifted his hind legs clear off the ground both ways.
And if he wasn't seen he was heard blocks away. Some actually went out their way to look for him. Both of us got run over by the biggest land rover I had ever seen, with a trailer. And any fights he got into with cats he came out worse. What a character, legendary!
