Chocolate Labs (well, okay...
my chocolate lab) and mutts are definitely at the top of my list.
I really just like my Chocolate Lab, Border Collie/Shepherd mix, and Canaan Dog/Terrier mix best. May, my labbie, is an angel, Tippy, my border mix, is a mixture of energetic BC with laid back GSD (IMO, perfect mixture - she doesn't go bonkers if she doesn't get enough physical and mental exercise, she just groans at me), Colby, my terrier mix, has Canaan traits... the markings, curly tail, and temperament (
this description definitely fits her). But she also has a bit of terrier in her...can be snappy if you push her to her limits, she loves to bark, she has a very high prey drive.
So my dogs...a lab and two mutts. But I also love Neapolitan Mastiffs, golden retrievers, and standard poodles.
