3. My favorite dog of all time was a big, black Newfoundland retriever.

I was baby sitting my parents' miniature fluffball and the big guy loved him and always wanted to play. He'd lie down in short grass and think the grass gave him enough cover that he could sneak up on the fluffball. It was hilarious!

His name was Teddy and it was perfect, he was a real teddy bear to anyone who didn't approach him or his person with hostility.

I find I don't like little dogs, they tend to be high maintenance yappers. Give me standard size or above and I'm not particularly breed conscious.
