Favorite Purebred Dogs?

I :rainbowheart:mutts! But my fave pure bred would be a Shih-Tzu or a GSD

My favorite purebred would definitely be a shih tzu. My last dog was a shih tzu and we had her for 15 years before we had to put her to sleep in May of '06. I still miss her, especially when I see little Shih Tzu puppies at the pet store or somewhere else. I also love yorkies and boxers.

I these breeds:

Ibizan Hounds
Great Danes
Smooth Collies
Chinese Shar Peis
German Shorthaired Pointers
Dalmatian
Rottweiler
Greater Swiss Mountain Dog

I hope to own the ones with hearts.

Greyhound (have one now, this is my second)
Saluki (have had 3 in the past)
Afghan Hound (had 1)
Whippet (had 2)
Borzoi (would love to have one)

I can't imagine not having one or more sighthounds in my life.

My favs: (in no particular order)

Whippets
Cairn terriers
Saluki
Pugs
Shelties
Labs
King Charles Spanials

Oh, this is hard I have so many favorites. I think I am going to go with:
1. Pitbull Terriers
2. Australian Shepherds
3. English Springer Spaniels
4. Rottwielers
5. Greyhounds

Shiba Inu of course

Mutts
Pit Bulls
Corgis
Greyhounds
Bull Terriers
Shelties
Irish Setters
Gordon Setters

I'm sorry, I'm not understanding your question.
Why would what be?
Are you referring to my purebred dog preference or my love of AKC companion dog sports?

And I enjoy AKC companion dog sports and most mutts won't be able to get AKC's ILP/PAL status to make them eligible to compete.

that part .... just curiuos

Although I like the way MANY of the breeds look, I will limit my list to those whose temperments would actually work for me...
My family owns a mutt now, but I will most likely be going with a purebred next time around as I want to know what the temperment will be ahead of time.
I have always loved the working breeds, so the list reflects that somewhat.
Boxer
Doberman Pinscher
Chart Polski (but there are only ~3 breeders in the US so probably not a possibility...sighthound temperment with just enough "guarding instinct" to warn off robbers, etc.)
Greyhound
Smooth collie
Whippet or italian greyhound
Boarder Collie (if I could get a less energetic one)

Once I get in a house with a nice fenced in yard (and can afford it) I plan on getting either a boxer or doberman
Although I LOVE everything about greyhounds, they will be relegated to a "second dog" unless I'm living with someone, because I really want a dog that will at least alert or preferably act if there is a home robbery, etc. A chart Polski sounds perfect for me, but due to unavailability, not an option.

I am a big fan of mutts but I would love to have another doxie someday.

I love collies (my first dog ever)
Shelties
Pomeranians
Yorkies
Beagles
Great Danes
Rottweilers
Dobermans (my dad has one and she is a big sweetheart )
King Charles Spanials
Cocker Spaniels
Golden Retreivers
Dalmatians

If I ever live in the countryside I'll get a Weimaraner

Huskey or Malamute - both so pretty, smart and sweet dogs.
Shelties
Great Danes, not sure if I would want to own something that big myself but the ones I have been around have been soooooo mellow and sweet . Of course one that was almost 190 pounds did try to sit on my lap once.......
Corgies - you can't look at them and not smile.
Yorkie

Oh, there's so many great breeds!

Chinese Shar Pei (the most loyal, devoted dogs I've ever owned, or known)
Bulldog (they will always keep you laughing!)
Corgi
French Bulldog
Bernese Mtn Dog
GSP
AmStaff
American Bulldog
Gordon Setter
Boxer
Giant Schnauzer
Lab

I am just longing to have a dog or two in my life again, but DH and I agreed we'd wait until we have a larger house with a fenced yard.

Golden Retrievers
Old English sheepdogs (puppies for life!)
Komondor
Afghan

I have a Golden and two OES right now - a great combination.

Siberian Husky
Boxer
Great Dane
German Short Haired Pointer

IMO Nothing as beautiful as a Saluki in action...any sight hound actually! My sister had a Saluki, but then she lives on just under 5 acres!

Mine is Dachshund!!! (Can't believe that I am the first one to mention them!)

My sister has two, Oscar and Frankie (she wants to get a third "Beans")

I have a few favorite breeds

Corgi (both pem and cardi)
Schipperkes
Rotties
Jack Russells
