I know a lot of people have a favorite breed of dog. But do you have a breed of dog you wouldnt want to own? I dont really care for those giant poodles. I dont like there hair cut. So I would have to say I would never want a giant poodle. What kind of dog breed would you not like to have?

I am not a big fan of small dogs! I like big and medium size dogs! I don't like little dogs because they bark alot! It's more like a yip and it is worse then when a bigger dog barks! I rather snuggle with a big dog then a lttle one! Just my preference.

Hmm, i really love dogs but if i really have to choose the breed of dog i wouldn't want to own, i think it's the Dalmatians. They're tall and thin. If not for their coat, they'd be ordinary. It's not like i hate them ok? I even love mutts. I'm dying to own a bulldog!

any of the toy breeds or the giant breeds or any of the known/supposed dangerous breeds or having long hair, or... well, honestly, I don't really want any dog at all....

My family has always been really into beagles. I personally don't like animals all that much, so I don't really have a favorite. I have a beagle living with me right now, but he is not really my dog.

Well, I know this might sound snobby, but I could never own a Staffie. Practically every other household any housing estate has one, and where I live the owners are always total morons. The dogs turn out the same. The owners keep these dogs cooped up in tiny flats (where they're not supposed to keep dogs anyway) and the only reason these dogs are popular (to people like these), is because they look just a teensy bit like pit-bulls. The morons who keep them like to look tough - they don't, because everyone knows how soppy Staffs are. The owners never bother to get them neuteured, and the dogs and puppies always end up in rescue homes. Practically every dog needing a home at my local pound is a Staff. It's not the dogs fault, but I just don't like anything about the people who own these dogs, so the animal goes as well. Sorry. Weimeraners, now they're different. I'd feed my right arm to my neighbour's Staff for a Weimaraner.

I wouldnt like to own any of the small dogs, the kind are all the celebrities have. They are so arrgessive and nasty!! I like most dogs. I've always wanted an Bulldog when I was younger. I also love West Highland terriers, they are probablly the smallest dog I would own. Everyone I've ever met have always been loveable and fussy. I currently own three Rottwielers and I think the repuation that the press have given them is just wrong. Yeah ok some are nasty but isnt every dog deep down?! I love the bigger dogs better because they are much more loveable and make great pets. Its like they have nothing to prove to the smaller ones beacause there height and size is enough to scare anyone. The little dogs seem to be more aggressive as if they have a point to prove! Emma :)

Yeah I agree with you alot is the owners fault. Its the same with the big dogs. Its just all the small ones I've seen (mainly on TV to be honest) are really snappy and go for everyone!

I own a small dog and she is really well behaved. I think it is all on the owner really. At first she was a little snippy but after I have been trainging her and teaching her to be respectful she has picked up on it very well. Take care and happy mylotting. Give the small ones a chance :)

Hey there! I love all kinds of breed of dogs but there is only one breed that I would never want to own. A doberman. They are not as gentle like other breed of dogs. Sometimes they even get back at their owners. Some says that there is a certain age of a doberman that they tend to be violent.

I love friendly dog breed like : golden retriever, pomeranian and cocker spaniel. I'm not a fan of those menacing dogs like : bull terrier or doberman. It's hard for me to imagine having a friendly relationship with that kind of dog bred.

I wouldn´t like any of the type of Lap dogs. My own is a german sheppheard. It´s a big dog, very intelligent, although she is just a puppy. I don´t like any breed of dog that has an acute bark.

I love all dogs but I would never get a pitbull as a housepet perhaps as a guard dog but not as a pet.

Well I have never really wanted a rottwiller to me they look scary, I kinda feel the sameway about pitbulls. But I have been watching a lot of Dog Whisper and I must say it seems it depends on the way you train the dog. If you train it well it should not really matter on the breed. So I guess rottie would be my pick. Take care and happy mylotting to you.
