I like Doberman Pinscher/Greyhound mixes, but that's not on the list... So just put those two breeds down for me Wink

And Irish Setters, German Shepherds, and Rotties. Least favorites are Chinese Crested, Standard and Mini Schnauzers, Standard Poodles, and Brussels Griffon(or however you spell it) Terriers.

hm hard one, i tend to clasify by groups not breeds

i generaly like FCI group 5 which contains spitz's and primitive type dogs
basset lured its way in with my bf as well, and mutts can be really lovely, because they are so unique unto themself, so thats a type of dog i'd hope to get some more interaction with when i am in the states because there really aint overly many of them around where i grew up, i probably can count the mongrels i know in my life on one hand...rather i definantly can because while i probably met or seen some more posible even unaware...i can only really remember of the top of my head 2 or 3 dogs i have known thats been mix'ed

in general rather neutral, the things i dont like are really dogs owned by owners of lacking knowledge or lazy owners who dont do their jobs, so the dogs turns into someting they shouldnt, so its more of consepts that unfortunantly come out in dogs i dont like

- unhealthy dogs (too tick is just as bad as too thin)
- untrained dogs, and specialy in small dogs if they turn yappy (hurts my ears)
- agresive unsocialised dogs
- designer labled dogs (newest addition to my list)

a corectly raised, trained and socialised dog of a healthy genetical line i dont have any issues with regardless of breed as all dogs can be lovely, though i personaly prefer dogs that i'd consider owning to be 40cm shoulder height, i have a sligth avereversion towards ending up stumbeling in one of those smaller dogs if i ever was to be around one all the time, and my bf who is even bigger has one towards not just stumbeling but ending on steping on one...so we just want a dog thats like easily 'plased' in the terain so to speak.
