My Top10 Favourite Dog Breeds

created by CarterK on Aug 31, 2009 | category: Animals

Just a bit of fun .... These are my favourite Dog Breeds .... Don't forget they are man's best friend and the reason i'm not a cat person !!!!

1. Rhodesian Ridgeback



Originally bred in Rhodesia and South Africa for hunting lions, they truely are unique in the dog world in terms of character and are instantly recognisable by the ridge of hair that runs the opposite direction to the rest on their backs.

2. Doberman Pinscher



Versitile and loyal and ultra intelligent.

3. German Shepherd



Was brought up with them and only have good things to say about them.

4. Rottweiler

Another lovely dog and again very intelligent.

5. Welsh Springer Spanial

Full of energy !!!

6. Schnauzer (Any size !!)

In the large, medium or small .... Still a classy dog !

7. American Cocker Spanials

Might be just my opinion but less volitile than their English cousins.

8. Beauceron

Little known and less popular dog but in my experience an excellent all round dog.

9. Cavalier King Charles Spanials

Bundles of energy and always ready to go !!

10. German Shorthaired Pointers

Excellent working dogs.

in conclusion...

Well, that's my list .... Feel free to agree or disagree !!!

Why is your list a nix between the deadly and the freindly?



Used to breed and show dogs at one stage a few years ago and certainly could not afford to have a deadly dog in the ring .... I don't believe there are deadly dogs, Just bad owners !! So a mix of deadly and friendly, no .. Just a list of my favourites although i do generally like bigger dogs and dogs that have a purpose other than to be a fashion statement !!! banana dancing banana

You left out Pomeranians!
But I get it, you're not zooming in on the 'cute' factor.

I had a Ridgeback once,but he was the most useless dog I ever owned,lol.
The best dog I ever owned was a mixed breed!
Part Bulldog,and part Cur. Very smart dog!
Dogs are like people,they all have their own personalities!
Thanks for the list!

I am a dog lover and I have an English bull terrier I am annoyed that this type of dog is classed as possibly dangerous.I have met big and little dogs and feel that an animals personality,living conditions and environment whether it be a toy,working plays a huge part in reactions.I have been bitten by a chiuahua and jack russel and my dog is the softest natured dog I haave had.
