What are the 5 breeds you will NEVER own and why?

1. Anything with the word "oodle" in its name... Poodle, Labradoodle, Foodle, Goldendoodle, Schnoodle, ect.

2. Chihuahua - I would most defiantly squash it. Shelties are the smallest I go.

3. Bull Terrier - Can't stand the head.

4. Bergamasco Sheepdog - Could be the greatest dog in the world, but I wouldn't know. Any dog with that much bloody hair would drive me nuts! No walking mops for me!

5. St. Bernard - Too much drool... Unless it has a little cask of rum under its chin, then I would consider it....

Honestly that is a hard list for me to make. I really do love all types of dogs. I have owned 3 herding dogs and a Chow and will soon be the owner of a Sheltie if all works out! :-D

Chihuahua - Obnoxious little rats. Also football shaped which would be far too tempting when annoying.

Cane Corso - I love Pit Bulls but there is a level of what I think I could handle and without personal experience with this particular breed I think I'd have to pass. I think there would be too much drool.

Great Dane - Way too big. Health issues galore and a short life span.

Northern Breed (in spite of my husband's desperate pleading) SOOOOO much hair! I could handle the exercise part but the HAIR

Jack Russell Terrier - Good Lord, I thought my twin two year olds were running me ragged. These dogs can go allllllll daaaaaay looooooong and never be tired.

Add: Papaw, next time you use a reference get a knowledgeable one. "mauling there opponents to death". Apparently this person doesn't know the difference between "their" and "there". Where did this idiot get the information that Pit Bulls weigh 110 pounds? According to the UKC (because the breed originated in the UK, NOT the US, yet another incorrect point) the correct weight is between 30 to 60 pounds depending on gender.

Before you start quoting "facts" make sure the person you're quoting actually has the right ones. This is why the stereotypes are able to propagate. People see things on the internet and assume they're true. Look at my profile picture. Dog on the left (not the white one) is an American Staffordshire Terrier. Yeah, my Golden is fearing for her life. You should see him when my kids have food. He's so flat on the floor he could probably slide under the door with the energy created by his wagging tail. Real vicious right there.

Firstly HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Although I'm a couple days late now lol (I'm never on here on the weekends).

1) Yorkies - my sister has one and it is yappy! When my dog has his back turned (Dobermann) she starts barking like a psycho acting all big and bad and then when he looks at her she runs and hides under a table. I've also stepped on her a few times and I'm just not awake enough in the morning to make sure I don't step on and kill a dog!

2) Terriers - well the small ones. I'd like to think after my dog I could handle an APBT. I already deal with my neighbours saying "your dog terrifies me!" So I would be used to people running across the street just from seeing my dog lol.

3) Huskies - I love playing with them and looking at them but glad that it's not coming home with me. The few that I have met have just been...weird. Poor breeding is my guess. So it's kind of like playing with other people's kids, you feed them sugar and get them hyper knowing they still have to go home with their parents!

4) Great Dane - I already own 2 horses.

5) Bull Dogs - or anything really with a smushed in face (although I still like Boxers!), I hate listening to them breathe and feel like they are being tortured by the simple fact of breathing. I can hear them coming from a mile away!

Happy Birthday!

1. Labrador Retriever: I have had two try to bite me due to poor breeding since they are such popular dogs. Plus, do they have an off-switch? I owned one for a month and he tackled me and knocked me over and laid on top of my chewing on my arm! He was 80lbs and I weigh 110! I gave up after a week or two, and found someone who had lot of experience with the breed to give him a new home! LOL

2. American Pit Bull Terrier: I own a Rottweiler so its not because I think APBT are dangerous, but I have yet to meet one that likes other dogs that they weren't raised with! I'm not saying that there aren't well socialized APBT, but its so rare and I love my dog pack!

3. Poodle: I just think they are weird with their special clips--they make me laugh. I consider them cats or something!

4. Bedlington Terrier: I have always wondered how a sheep snuck into the Terrier category...

5. Bullmastiff: I can't imagine owning a dog that I could saddle and ride! I think I'd just get a horse! The last one I met was 180 pounds!

My next dog? Welsh Terrier!

Edit: I think I would add Jack Russell Terrier in place of a poodle after thinking about it. They are so hyper and I have met like ten of them now, and I want to kick them after like ten minutes of being at that house!

1. Labrador Retriever, been bitten by three, I am totally convinced that the breed is completely ruined.

2. Golden Retriever, see number 1 minus the bites.

3. North American show bred German Shepherd, they are sloppy disgusting horrible messes.

4. Bulldog (or English Bulldog as some call them) breeding has taken this ones mighty working dog and turned it into a freak show.

5. Shiba Inu, I have had 2, my folks have one and we rescued one, I have learned that they are not the breed for me, and in the last 14 years since I became involved in them they have gone from an unknown healthy breed to the genetic messes that North America is known for.

1. Afghan Hound ~ I admire the sheer elegance of the breed, but would shy away from the hard work of grooming the beautiful coat & would not want to own a sight hound in general...off lead & there is goes!!!

2. Chow ~ maybe unfair, but I have only had negative associations with this breed, both were canine-aggressive, thrown out my local ring craft club & later euthanized.

3.West Highland White terriers rank as my least favored terrier because the dogs I have crossed paths with have been far too keen to snap around my dogs hocks....yep, give a breed a bad name :)

4. Jack Russell terrier ~ I like the tenacity of the breed, have exercise my Dobermann with some great JRTs, but the breed is too small for my liking & would not suit my needs.

5. Belgian Malinois ~ I love working breeds that want to work, but a breed that needs to work would be merry hell for me to live with... I'll pass & leave them to Greekman!!

Edit: ****Hangs head, only just noticed! Happy Birthday!!!****

happy birthday haha

1) any dog over 70lbs(maybe 65lbs)- my dogs have to be ACTIVE and able to move and run and jump and play...and be awake all day

2) show labs/byb labs- i love labs...but they are to popular now a days and overbred. though there are some great ones. and the show ones are so fat and gross

3) GSD (american lines)- GSD freak me out to begin with. and the american lines are SO ugly. I mean german ones can probably jump higher than the american ones..so why breed the back so slanted? it's sickening. the german lines have some cool ones..

4) Sharpei(sp?): everyone one i have seen is neurotic. some people i know used 'gentle leaders' and the dogs tried to scratch their faces off. and were bleeding everywhere and it was gross and bad and the ones i have seen are just crazy.

5) designer dogs. they are gross and well why would i pay so much money for a badly bred MUT?

dogs i want:

1) ibizan hound- grace and prettyness and umm...they are awesome

2) (hairless) chinese crested- no idea why they are so ugly i love them.

Great question. I would say:

1)Shetland Sheepdog (sheltie). Now I love all dogs & dog breeds but these are just not one of my favs. I think they are beautiful but they area but they are a but intense & yappy. I hope no sheltie owners don't get to mad at me because one of my neighbor's own a sheltie & I used to walk her a lot but I just cannot ever see myself owning one.

2)Schnauzer. I don't really mind giants but I probably will never even get one of those. Again my nneighbor owns one, used to own two, and I have petsat them and became close to them but just don't plan on owning one really ever. They are actually kind yappy for me (I have found that Schnauzers & shelties are more yappy then chis). But I will probably became a "schanuzer aunt" because my twin brother plans on owning one in the future, along with a GSD.

3)Beagle. Now that I am saying this I will probably end up with a beagle sometime in the future, lol, but I just think these dogs are just to much for me (this coming from the person that is in love with border collies, aussie sheps, acds...). I am fine with helping all the beaglies that come into the shelter I work at as a volunteer but I do not plan on adopting one in to my home.

4)Chow-Chow. Stunning dogs, but I just don't think they are for me. There are people out there that are wonderful chow people but thats not me.

5)Italian Greyhound. Just to fragile & such for me. Again I had a friend who owned a italian greyhound & he was a nice dog but once again....not for me!

1.Chihuahua-They are too yappy and too little for me. I would be afraid I'd step on them.

2.Dachshund-I don't like them because they are mean.

3.Pit Bull- Only because I don't think I could train it otherwise I love them!

But if they didn't get along with my dogs that I had then i wouldn't get it

4.Great Dane-They are taller then me when they stand up and they would knock me down.

5.any small terriers-They bark to much and I hate dogs that bark alot.(we currently own one and she barks like crazy all the freakin time)

Dogs I want-

Rottweiler or Rottie mix-They are cute and protective(Like my girl Dakota)

Lab or Lab mix-They are sweet,friendly(like my dog Duke but they are also protective and not all like everyone(Duke doesn't like everyone)

Happy Birthday

Rat terrier--I have herding breeds, and rat terriers tire me out! I walked one once for a shelter, and was exhausted at the end of the day.

Dachshund--love 'em, but have heard bad things about how hard it is to house train. They also have back problems.

Bernese Mountain Dog--big, big fan. Overall health of the breed is frightening, though.

Husky--again, great dogs, big fan. But what on earth would I do if one escaped? I'd be up a creek!

Afghan Hound (or any sighthound, really)--not a big fan of the many "cat-like" breeds.
