Top 10: Dog Breeds

I love pretty much all dogs, but my personal favorite breeds are:

         1. Mutt
         2. Australian Shepherd
         3. American Pit Bull Terrier
         4. Rottweiler
         5. Labrador Retriever
         6. Siberian Husky
         7. Boxer
         8. Corgi
         9. Brussels Griffon
         10. French Bulldog or Pug or Pomeranian

I love mixed breed dogs; they always have such interesting features, especially when the parents are recognizable dog breeds. Plus I'm not a big fan of spending the money for purebred dogs when there are so many others in need of adoption.

Oddly enough, neither of the breeds I've owned over the years made the list... I had both Dalmatians and a Vizsla when I was growing up, but I'm partial to breeds with more of a personality and distinct features. Plus, the Brussels Griffon basically looks like an Ewok, so that's a plus.

The toy dogs slipped into the list at #10 because they're my wife's favorite and I've accepted the fact that if/when we ever get a dog of our own, it'll probably be from an entry way down on my list.
