7. My favorite is one that won't shed.

I currently live with a Pug, a Boxer/American Pitbull, and two longhaired tuxedo cats. I buy Swiffer refills by the gross.

Do love me some Rottweiler though. Had one from a pup till she passed at 12yrs. Great dog. Kids used to ride her like a pony when they were small, tug on ears, use her for a pillow, she took it all in stride. But let a stranger come to the door, or approach the car if she was riding with us, and she would let them know quick that she meant business. We took her through K-9 training so she was always in control, just extremely protective of the kids and wife.
