ENGLISH SPRINGER SPANIEL (working types) - for fun, versatility, ability and companionship
BORZOI - For sheer magnificence.

Dogue de Bordeaux
Boerboel
Rottweiler
In fact any molosser!!

hi my name is paul thurbon.I have a rhodesian ridgeback and a boerboel.both wonderful and devoted bitches.

my three favourites would be boerboel,rhodesian ridgeback and irish wolfhound.as I have a boerboel and a ridgeback I dont have room for a wolfhound.oh well.

Boerboel
GSD
Staffie

those are my favouties, some who didn't make it but came close were
Rottweiler, Dobe and Pit Bull.
I have a soft spot for dogs percieved to be extremely vicious killers etc,
based on some owner or child getting killed, who knows what these people did,
since that doesn't make the paper.
so while raising some well behaved dogs as a bonus I get to show people they
can be really gentle loving and obedient dogs.

Mine would have to be

1.  Boxers (my Glazby!!)
2.  Great Danes
3.  New Foundland

That is so difficult!
But would have to go with
1. Staffies
2. Dobermann
3. Greyhound/Lurcher

Other favourites are French bulldogs, flat coated retrievers and English Bull Terriers.

staffords, NOOO really!!!!!!!!!???? lol!
APBT
patterdales ( or any real working terrier!)

Would have to be:
Labs...got 2, soon to be 3
Patterdales....got 1...he likes to keep his lab girls in check!
Vizlas...would love 1!

if i picked 3 it would be
1) retrievers (love the whole group)

Nickie

My 3 would have to be:-

1.)       Hugarian Vizsla - fell in love with this the most noble, loving and intelligent breed I have
           ever met quite a few years ago.  I'll definately have one some day.

2.)       Staffies - Currently my first experience of motherhood with a puppy.  Loving ever minute
           of it.

3.)       Boxer - It's the faces that does it.  The wrinkled forehead, those deep loving eyes and of
           course the temprament of playful puppy right through to maturity, or not maturity in most
           cases   lol.

I'd love one day to have owned my 3 favourite breeds.  Lets hope one day I will.

Claire n Amy

Mine seem a bit mixed :D

1. My Afghan :) - I didn't really consider one until my boyfriend talked me round.  Now I have one she is just the best :D

After hands on experience with many different breeds due to rescue I have to say my favorite 3 breeds are:

1. Bullmastiff - I bought my first ever puppy as a companion to our old borzoi and have fallen in love with the breed, she is a very clever dog and is so loving, I am about to start showing this year with two of her offspring.

2. Borzoi - I've loved this breed since being a kid - dreaming about living on a big estate with lots of stables/horses, sports car, statuesque borzois standing next to me with my model looks - Reality check!! End terrace, horse stabled at local farm, old diahatsu 4trak, look more like airfix model but did eventually get the dog, a beautiful and extremely elegant lemon and white rescue dog who was late in life but gave me a wonderful 3 years before passing away end of 2002.

3. Chihuahua (s/h) - Having always taken adult rescue dogs previous to my bullmastiffs, I had the fantastic opportunity of owning a pair of shorthaired chihuahua's who's owner had decided they were too old and replaceable with a new puppy (surprisingly this does happen a lot). They were signed over to the RSPCA where I worked and I fortunately was able to take them home with me.  They were Charlie age 13 and Tara age 11, these dogs lived with us for another 4 and 5 years and had a happy life mostly accompanying my parents on their canal boat. I hope to find another tiny shorthaired girl to join our happy family home soon!

The list could go on and on!!
Angela Grimes.

My three favs are:

1) Staffies - my lovely boy Saxon!
2) Bull Terriers - we hope to have a new addition to the family in spring - sooo excited!!
3) Black Labs - grew up with one called sooty who was a year older than me and the most magnificent dog ever. Loved her to pieces and still miss her immensly.

JB :)

1) Rotties
2) Bernese Mountain
