The Top Five Dog Breeds

In October, we asked the question, “What is your favorite dog breed?”  We recieved some really good feedback.  Below are some of the more convincing comments from our readers.

Pugs are BY FAR the cutest and most wonderful pets EVER! They LOVE people, and LOVE to snuggle! Plus, how can you refuse that cute little snout and curly tail? Please, do yourself a favor…buy a pug!  -Marge Thomas

Of course everyone is partial to the dog breed that they have been around the most. My vote, due to my experiences, goes to the Doberman Pinscher. Any positive adjective that can be used to describe a dog breed can be attributed to the Doberman. My dog, Vince, is incredible intelligent and great with people. Contrary to the negative stereotype against the breed, I have never had a bad experience.  -Adam Huskerson

No question about it, the English Setter. If you are an outdoor person …. and by outdoor person I mean anyone who likes to hunt, hike, run/walk at the park, bike ride, spend time in the backyard with kids, etc. … then this is the perfect breed. Without question, they are friendly and people-oriented. And, the English Setter is great for families. Not many dog breeds can live up to this standard.  -Elliot

Woohoo!! You’re dang right about the goldens! You can’t go wrong with those guys. We have a 9-month-old golden named Guthrie and he’s awesome! Lots of fun, extremely loveable, very intelligent and athletic, playful when desired but cuddly when you need him to be. He gets along great with our other pup as well as other dogs. Very friendly and good-lookin’! We’d seriously recommend the golden retriever!  -Libby & Gerardo

I love my pit bull. Contrary to all the news media he is a fantastic animal. He has a very sweet and loving personality. Couldn’t ask for a better dog.  Mine is the BEST!  -Sara
