In reply to the discussion: What is your favorite dog breed and why? [View all]Major Nikon
(36,827 posts)97. I have one of each
I've only had one Aussie so I can't make a determination on all of them. All I can say is the one I have isn't like any border collie I've ever had. She's definitely the most loyal dog. She spends all of her time next to me and never wants to go anywhere else. What's amazing is that until now I've always had at least two border collies and they never really got along all that well together. They would always play together, but outside of that they wanted little to do with each other. My Aussie gets along great with everyone, including other dogs. So they make a much better pair than trying to pair up two border collies. When my Aussie can't be around me, she's always next to my border collie.

Dachshunds. I grew up with them and I have a dachshund mix now who's scary smart.

Rat Terriers. Love that they are feisty little dogs but also "chill" when you need them to.

Exactly. Full of energy, but they have an "Off" button. They will play and they will cuddle.

though I own a border collie now and love him, my favorite breed isn't a breed at all...

I'm just surprised there was so little mention in the thread about beagles.

I love a lot of breeds, but I would have to say my favorite is the Golden Retriever.
