I've had Collies, German Shepards, Rottweilers, Chows, Cocker Spaniels, Great Pyrenees, Snousers, and a Bull-massive/Ridge-back mix. Out of these, my favorite is..

1. The Bull-massive/Ridge-back mix
2. Rottweiler
3. Great Pyrenees or German Shepard

eternal_peace: Favourite would have to be the English Staffordshire Bull Terrier. They are one of the most loyal breeds and all about family. Don't understand why they get such a bad rap.
Also the German Koolie, they're just intelligent and loyal dogs and can fit into any type of lifestyle.

Had English Bulldogs (beautiful breed, but a lot of maintenance), Staffy and a Koolie .

eternal_peace: My Koolie protects me no matter what...just have to give her the little command "Help Mummy" and she's there. She doesn't herd anything...and when they say they are energetic dogs who require hours of exercise, I will disagree because given the choice, she will choose a ride in the car over a walk...I think she must have learned this off the Staffy.

auscangirl: I am a Boxer dog lover. Have had them since I was 14years old. Currently I only have one, my male. He is 8years old. I use to breed and show my dogs but with my family expanding it just got to hard. I am hoping to get back to it in a few years.

I also have had German Shephards, Sheltand Sheepdog and Chihuahua.

eternal_peace: Miss my little Boxer (although he was a cross with Border Collie).

I had to put him down He was a beautiful dog towards me. Very loyal, and affection but became increasingly aggressive and starting biting and drawing blood on other people (have a good idea how it all began though). I couldn't find a house to rent so I could have him, and wasn't able to get him rehomed, RSPCA wouldn't accept him. And having little kids around him, became too risky.
