I have several Labs, retrievers,newfoundlands, pyrenean mountain, St. bernards, spaniels, setters, great danes must stop getting carried away! Someone on our street has a Leonburger, a massive dog that looks like a lion but so cuddly! Cazx

My favourite has to be German Shepherd lost mine a few month back she was so special. Now have a heinz 57 from the animal sanctaury she is very lovable though and is settling in nicely. Germaine x

Hi Jean danes are gorgeous. Hi Jules your pup sounds luverly! Cazxxx

I have just the one dog... a Border Collie

Hi Germaine Oh yes forgot germen Shephards too LOL! A friend of mine breeds them. Ours is a rescue heinz too, mainly choc lab and GS.... he's a gem Cazx

Caz how can you forget German Shepherd LOL. My daughter has a shepherd x lab. We call him the dog from hell. Lovely natured till you try to take anything he has pinched off him then you have to swop he is such a thief. He has the build of a lab and the colouring of a shepherd. My heinz is as the vet said a proper mix. She is the build of a whippet or small greyhound has the ears of a collie and her colouring is either greyhound, boxer or staffie ( brindle) we have only had her 3 weeks but she is such a little love as so well behaved. Up to now!!!. Love border collies too son has one he so handsome and loving.( the dog that is lol) Germaine x

I've a 17 year old Jack Russel Terrier and a crossed American Cocker, vet says she's crossed with a Boarder collie, we all say she's crossed with a nutter, 'cos she's gorgeously looney, so my fave breed would have to be Mutleys Carol

My neighbours have a Siberian Husky called Storm - what an absolutely gorgeous dog. Last week he jumped out of an upstairs window and now has a pot on his leg so I guess they are not that bright lol Jack x

My favourite dogs are Dobermans, my daughter has a year old lad, he is gorgeous, there are pics of him on GC Next Gen, he wasn't well when the photos were taken but is so much better now, she is investing a girly Dobe in a couple of weeks and is going to use her for breeding. Gillie xx

I've always like Gun Dogs - particularly Setters and Golden Retrievers - but since having a German Shepherd I have to add them to the list. The GSD's have such an undeserved reputation and I have been so surprised by mine - I had no experience of this breed at all when we got Storm, it was a breed that my Hubby wanted and it was his turn to choose (I chose my little Retriever) and he's not been what I expected at all - I actually expected a dog that would be good company for Bonnie (my Retriever) and that he is, but I expected him to be a little protective of her and me and to keep other dogs from pestering her, I thought they would run along together on walks and ignore other dogs. I was wrong - he's a very nervous dog and would actually need myself or Bonnie to back him up and sadly he was diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia at the age of 4 months, so can't go running along either. But he has the most wonderful character - he is incredibly loyal and wants to be next to me 24/7 and he's just a big soft puppy really. My Golden Retriever, Bonnie, is a little Angel one minute and a stubborn little so and so the next, but I adore her and love the fact that she has her own opinions on what she should be doing. lol Sorry to rabbit on. lol Kaye x

My favourite is the Lurcher - had 2 of those. I also had what looked like a miniature black lab. lol Can beat a good mongrel. lol

I've only ever had Shetland sheepdogs (Shelties) - they are a miniature 'Lassie'. My one now called Lucy is almost 13 yrs old now and gorgeous, but of course, I'm biased I suppose. Stella

Stella, Our Border Collie is called Lucy too... she's a rescue dog and we think she's about 7-8. Lovely dog, but a right P.I.T.A. sometimes too !! Paul

Paul - we love Border Collies - our 2nd favourite. If we hadn't been able to get a Sheltie that is what we would have gone for. Stella

Stella, I'd never actually had a dog before, but we decided to get one (child substitute lol) and went to the local rescue centre.. didn't really know what we wanted... Lucy had arrived there a couple of days before, and as soon as we saw her we fell in love with her... lovely dog, lovely temperament (mostly, she can be a little snappy with other dogs sometimes). She's full of life, always wanting to play... and that the only trouble really, she pesters us all the time to play or take her for a walk... No rest for the wisked as they say. Paul

Has to be Border Collie. I have three - Kim, Kate and Molly. Kate gave birth to 6 puppies yesterday, but sadly two died. The remaining 4 are the cutest black and white squirmy, squeeky things ever. .lol Jxx

Lhasa Apso, they are lap dogs, very cuddley, very good with children. i have had mine for 6yrs, and she is lovely. Shirley Ann.

as you must all know by now i love border collies, we had barney last week he is 17 weeks old, and is being such a good boy , he has such a gentle temperament and is learning so quickly, we love him to bits , yesterday he had his first walk to the park, he was so good on his lead, im so glad we have him, wouldnt want to be without him now. xxLynnxx

Paul - Border Collies are full of life, probably because they are highly intelligent so require a lot of stimulation. She may need socialising with other dogs, we always take ours for walks over the fields where other dogs are, so she now has her own circle of doggie pals and is fine with other dogs. We have 4 Lucys over there - a really common name for dogs !! Stella

German sheperds and labs i have one of each both bitches gs Cassise 7 years and lab Bonnie have had 3 gsb 5 lab plus use to get assorted dogs dump on us to find homes for love them all really Valxxx
