What is your favourite breed of dog and why??
Ok so I have been thinking a lot about my future (because i'm that ambitious lol) and I was hoping to settle down and have a dog but then I started thinking what type of dog would be best for me. Now since I have grown up around dogs on my dad's side of the family I can adjust to one being around the house whereas my mother hates dogs (because when she was little she was pinned up against a wall by three jack russells who started biting and mauling her and the owner did nothing about it so she is now scared of dogs) So I can't have a dog in the house.
(Don't really know why I told you that to be honest but tada little spoiler about my family and dogs haha xD)
So i've narrowed the breeds down to two and they are:
-Doberman Pinscher
I adore dobermans they have a unique quality about them despite the bad reputation they have been given by careless owners. They are loyal, obedient, courageous, protective and perfect company (I think). I like the fact that they are short haired meaning I wouldn't have to brush them frequently. But they do need a lot of exercise, which I am good at :p we have a couple of large forests around us which would be perfect to go and let the dog run loose for a couple of hours along with the fact I hope to do agility with my dog ^^
And the...
-Staffordshire Bull Terrier
My first real dog with my dad was a gorgeous red staffy called Kiera, she was really smart and obedient, clumsy at times but a real sturdy dog. She was that placid and docile that she wouldn't hurt a fly (no joke). I love that staffies are small and compact but have such a huge personality and although they do need a firm hand when looking at training... doesn't every dog? I know this breed like the pitbull has been given really bad reputations but personally I think it's the owner's fault that the dogs turn out to be aggressive.
Ok so there you have it my ideal dogs now what I would like to know is what are your favourite breeds and why and whether you would show them in dog contests or just have them as a loving family pet? ^^
