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

Please do your research before buying a dog or pet. we bought Toby who lived 15 years and died of old age. I will miss him.
Ghost is the best so far, very loyal and loving , and as meek as a Hindu Cow.
Merry Christmas

Well I have noticed that someone called few breeds deadly? Seriously? I had a doberman pincher and an english cocer spaniel, and cocer was more "deadly" breed than a doberman:) Thinking now about a doberman again, I have never ever met a dog with such a character and such a big heart! No wonder why dobermans are no 5 in the most clever dog breeds.
P.S I love your list! Rodesians are amazing too!
American Staffordshire/Pit..Brave, loyal, family guardian and clown, idiots stay away from, please
Has anyone seen Skitboot? check out on UTube.....
I'd have to think....
My most favourite breed (MY breed ).....#1...... is Weimaraners, hands down.... Looks-wise I prefer the shorthairs, but one day I'd love to have a Weimaraner longhair as well.
So, #2.... Norfolk Terrier (a dream, some day...)
#3... Border Terrier (a dream, some day...)
#4... White Swiss Shepherd (White German Shepherd in the US)
(the above three I could easily see in my home some day)
#5... Bracco Italiano
#6... probably Border Collie for their amazing working ability
#7... probably Belgian Malinois, same reason as above...
#8... Pharao Hound (Kelb tal Fenek) - would like to get to know them better and seems I'm in the right place to do that, LOL!
#9... mixes and mutts... the reason it's down on the list is because it's such an unpredictable bunch, LOL, but I've had the pleasure of knowing some really interesting ones... (and own one at the moment)
#10.... really struggling here.. I can't say something is my favourite breed if I don't know enough specimens personally.... but let's say, based purely on the looks, anything that has long enough legs to move well and just flies on the trot taking my breath away....
I have a French Bulldog, lots of dog in a small package...lol
I hope he/she comes home soon.
English Cocker.????surely you love them as well.
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!

blue heeler
Those are my favorite breed because i had a rodesian ridgeback/springer spaniel just recently passed away however.
Amazing loving and beautiful pet!
Best dog in the world
But I get it, you're not zooming in on the 'cute' factor.

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 !!!
