In reply to the discussion: What is your favorite dog breed and why? [View all]Doreen
(11,686 posts)134. I have run into people that have no clue they are actually herding dogs.
The lady who I got my Shultz and Freja from did herding with all of her German Shepherd. No Shutshund at all.
Right after we got Shultz he came bounding into the living room around my husband. My husband said to me, "I do not understand why he keeps herding us around." To which I replied German ShepHERD." His reply, "oh, yeah."

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.

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.
