Only 5? I really like most breeds, especially herding/working ones. I have a soft spot for the Collies and Molosser/Mastiff-type breeds.
5 off the top of my head:
Border Collies
Fila Brasileiros
Central Asian Ovcharkas (..Never really appealed to me before, but I met a few recently and fell absolutely in love. Awesome dogs.)
Doberman Pinschers
Chow chows
1. American Pit Bull Terrier/American Staffordshire Terrier/Staffordshire Bull Terrier
2. American Bulldog
3. English Bulldog
4. Mastiff
5. Boston Terrier
It depends on the dog a lot. I like some small dogs, others I don't like. Same with largerr dogs. For small dogs, I like beagles, Coton du Tulliars, basset hounds, bichon friese (sp?) and mixes to name a few. I like largerr mixes too.
Hrm, I thought I'd replied to this! Guess I'd mistaken myself.
My top five CONSTANTLY changes. I have a #1 favourite and all other doggies fight for the following places in my heart. I love all dogs so much Here's where it's at right now:
1. Newfoundlands!!
2. Pit Bull (this includes all pit bull-type dogs)
3. Dobermans
4. Rhodesian Ridgeback
5. Papillion
Kind of a strange list there eh? A big slobbery shaggy dog followed by 3 lean sleek muscular dogs, and a toy hairy dog... hmmm no pattern at all!
