Ours will always be the beautiful German Shepard. Loyal. Loving. Protective, big bundle of fun! We have had many over the last 60 odd years. Always well trained! I do love the mini schnauzers although never owned one.

Red fox labrador, because he is asleep next to me.

Aww beautiful Galaxy

Labradors - big, daft and so gentle. Ours is now 12 years old and it's heartbreaking watching her health failing, love her to bits.

Her eye looks strange as it's been shaved for a recent operation on a tumour on her eyelid.

Oh I love her face Curly, she looks gentle, ours is quite daft as well.

That's an easy one the clown of dog breeds the Boxer.
I no longer have a dog of my own seem have time taken looking after my kids dogs when they are away or out. I walk my daughter rottie several days a week and also look after my sons Olde English Bulldog. I adore all dogs but more a fan of the bigger breeds.

Heinz 57 rescue - the best. Strong, healthy genes, intelligent - wonderful.

Labradors - black Labs, to be precise. We have always had black Labs and they are just the best dogs ever. But, as I always say, every dog owner says their dog is the best - and none of them are wrong!

Tibetan Spaniels.
Gracie is a Tibbie cross.
My first dog Lily was a Tibbie and she really was an absolute angel.
RIP Lily Bean ♥️

Ah, that’s a lovely sentiment! smile

My name says it all! Wonderful, intelligent, loyal and very brave - and beautiful.

I must say, all puppies are absolutely adorable, but there is something extra special about GSD pups (those ears! 😍)

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. We’ve had two and they are adorable. They’re excellent family dogs but they’re also sporty and game for anything. ❤️

FannyCornforth Sat 18-Mar-23 15:11:31

Sue growing up, my parents had Cavaliers, they are really lovely and loving dogs

I have a soft spot for cocker spaniels, especially the blue roans, they are beautiful dogs. I've a rescued wire haired fox terrier and I think she's gorgeous when her coats grown out thick and curly, not like the coiffed ones on Crufts.
My last rescue girl was a Heinz variety, looked like a brown baby grizzly bear, she got to nearly 17 years old. I had 10 great years with her, we have always found the mixed breeds seem to get that little bit longer.

It’s always been spaniels in our family, going back several generations. However, having been introduced to Cockerpoos about 10 years ago, I have fallen for them, so intelligent and loving but with attitude.

We had German shepherd’s when first married absolutely adored them, unfortunately my asthma was out of control for most of my early life (we always had dogs at home)

After wing hospitalised for the umpteenth time and numerous tests I found out I was allergic to dogs and my allergy was escalating, it made me extremely sad to re-home them but I had no choice.

One of our AC has Australian Doodles they are extremely cute and wonderful with young children

Mollygo Sat 18-Mar-23 15:27:25

Cocker spaniels are my absolute favourite now, though our previous dog was a Heinz57 rescue dog and was lovely.

Oldbat1 Sat 18-Mar-23 15:28:34

Rescues.

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 18-Mar-23 15:29:39

Oh yes Oldbat. We have only ever had those!

Norah Sat 18-Mar-23 15:33:44

Small rescue dogs.

Rosalyn69 Sat 18-Mar-23 15:44:04

Long haired mini dachshund.

Joseanne Sat 18-Mar-23 16:11:01

No contest here, but I do love dalmatians too.
