Currently I have two Mountain Curs, good hunting dogs, great family/farm dogs. Curs and kids just naturally go together. They are good babysitters when the grandchildren are visiting.

I'm partial to Boxers from real working lines. Our new girl is creeping up on 7 months and is likely the best Boxer I've ever owned.
Never met a Setter I didn't instantly love and have owned a pair of Irish setters I still think of daily. If I ever get to a place in life where I've got the time to hunt grouse hard again I'll have another.
Brittanys are nice.
Anything German really - Teutonic engineering is a beautiful thing.

IMHO, Scottish terriers RULE, just because of they are COOL. Our current Scotty, Sophie, is perhaps the finest Little Lassie who has ever shared her life with us. God Bless, Steve ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/NZuMH0S.jpg)

Dogs are great. Who can't love a "good" dog. ( Pits don't rate.Just my 2 cents) Most dogs will love back as much as they are loved.

Don't have any dogs now. Our last one, a basset, died 20 December 2014. That was the first time for many years since we have not had a dog. In my life I have had a few different breeds, but I have always favored hounds. I told my wife just a couple of days ago that we ought to get our grandson, soon to be four, a puppy. Truth is, it would be grandpaw's and his puppy. Thinking maybe a beagle, a black & tan, or maybe a redbone hound. Would love a bloodhound, but they are scarce and too expense for my limited income. I just love the mournful howl and hound personality. Kinda reminds me of the old Tom T. Hall song "Old Dogs, Little Children, and Watermelon Wine".
"...why, land is the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for,... because it is the only thing that lasts."

I like dogs in general, but I don't want little yappy ones around for long.
I will never own anything but a GSD..............incredible dogs in virtually all respects & way smarter than most people.

I've always been partial to the various flavors of working hounds. Probably has a lot to do with where I grew up.
They are lazy when they can be, work hard when they have to, fearless and tend to function on anger and apathy.
Sort of a reflection of my own personality.
Mountain Curs interest me, but I know little about them. I've never been around any that I'm aware of and what I do know is from a little research. It's my understanding that they are an old North American jack-of-all-trades breed pretty good at a little of everything.

1. Boykin Spaniel- No dog gets closer to their owner than this breed IMHO.
2. Golden Retriever- The good ones just seem to love everyone.
3. Am Staff/Pit Bull- A lot of dog in a medium sized package. The two I have had have been great dogs.
4. Catahoula- Hard headed and independent, but I just love em. Again, a lot of dog for their size. They love the family.

I have a soft spot in my heart for beagles. Grew up with both grandpa and dad having multiples at all times. Never met a mean one. Only issue is the hair and how much is always falling out of them.  My current living situation and the lack of rabbits around here preclude me from having one. Right now I'm kind of partial to "ugly" dogs; with mine being a pudelpointer. By far the best behaved all around dog I've ever had. Hank is part of our family. ![[Linked Image]](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4209/35840585375_0030189089_b.jpg) Untitled by Tyler Staggs, on Flickr ![[Linked Image]](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4237/35030752373_439de4d368_b.jpg) Untitled by Tyler Staggs, on Flickr ![[Linked Image]](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4230/35839139715_c1d48a0111_b.jpg) Untitled by Tyler Staggs, on Flickr

I like almost all breeds. However, German Shorthairs are the only breed I'll own.....so far.

What breeds do you like, and why? Boxers... Great family dogs, wonderful with children, great watchdogs/protectors, short hair so shedding's not too bad. I've had 'em since I was 5 yrs old.. Had two mutts in the middle there some time, and they were fine too. Problem with well-breeded Boxers (applies to most others also) is that they can become medical nightmares. But I still love 'em. Lost these two about two years ago: ![[Linked Image]](https://s14.postimg.org/fr1k2mzn5/2015_017.jpg)

Mutts, cuzz they are mutts and 'inexpensive' Love my purebread Lab dearly, but have to agree with you, Scott. Some of the smartest dogs I have ever seen have been mutts.

Not sure what breed Gabby Sue is, but she's a great drinking partner, though slow to give up her seat at the bar. ![[Linked Image]](https://s6.postimg.org/kqkeqsj75/IMG_0447.jpg) Still one of my favorite pictures ever posted to the fire...makes me smile every time.
