Just out of curiousity,I was wondering if anyone had a preference? I have worked with animals for a while and I get sooo many opinions on this subject. Do you think one is better than the other? What is your favorite breed?...Just for fun

I personally feel you can get a good dog either way. I like Spaniels and Shepards a lot-mixed or registered.
 
My all time favorite dog is the chocolate lab. I will own one in the near future (or go insane). This one is perfect (but owned by someone, I just think he's perfect. http://www.chocolatelabs.com/photos/displayimage.php?album=73&pos=7)

Right now I have a pug. He's a complete nut.

I've owned pure breeds and mixed. They are all wonderful. However, there are many breeds who've been ruined by breeders so it depends on the breed/breeder/training. You know, kinda like children!

The good thing about mutts is that you are probably saving one from a euthanasia if you can get them from an ASPCA or shelter. That's always nice.

Just don't buy them from pet stores. They are such evil places. You should check out the breeder left and right.

Cocker spaniels are so cool but not very good with children...yours is kind of older now, but still. And boy do they require upkeep!

WOW!! They are beautiful!!!! We will be looking for a dog once we are settled in the new house. I have some research to do. I guess those are pretty expensive dogs?

Depends on where your getting the dog from Krisy! here in NJ, you can pay a fortune for a full breed, so those really wanting, go to PA for one! I am sure depending on the breeder you may not have to spend a lot. There is always the pound and saving an anmial too!

I happen to love the Boxer myself! How can you not fall in love with a face like this:

Awwwww. He is gorgeous too. My mom has a boxer mix nad loves him. He is a great dog. Boxer will probably be in the running with a Springer Spaniel And G. Shep.. Of course,we may just get a mutt!!!!
 
Actually,the coat of the dog you pictured looks a lot like the coat of mom's dog. His mama was a full blooded Boxer with a brindle pattern ,I think that is what it's called. I could be wrong. He is brown with black blotches on him.
 
Your probably right! I would have loved a boxer - Right before my Son turned 1, we went to the pound and wanted to save an animal - well, the first one we saw was HUGE, so I knew he wouldn't do too well with a baby! We actually wound up with a mutt, yet, a picture of just the head, you would swear was sheppard, all the colors, even the moles on the face - the fangs on him are quite large, but, he is only 38 pds. A little runt! I am not really sure what he is mixed with, but some claim terrier. I think he looks just like the coyote in the park by me!

I will get a picture of him and post it! he also loves feet - not such a friendly to strangers, right for the feet he goes! hehe! and Sir Evil and he, well, tickle the nose and he snaps!
 
I would love to see a pic. Are you related to sir evil? I thought Lizzy was his wife? I am so confused!!! Hehe. I am still working on pics of my chinchilla too. We took a bunch yesterday,but they didn't turn out well. Have to take some more. I love to see animal pics. I have always been a huge animal lover.
