I right now have a Shi Tzu, which are great dogs because they have so much personality and they don't typically shed. Their hair is like human hair, not course like animal hair and Gizmo has never shed.
But I loved our old dog Duchess too. She was a greyhound/golden retriever mix. She wasn't too bright, but she had the biggest, sweetest cow eyes.
I like Austrailian sheppards but I have no love for German sheppards... particularly white ones as one attacked me for no reason and did not even growl in warning. :shows the scar on her elbow: Usually dogs like me too...
I love English Bulldogs too, even though they're so very hard to take care of (and expensive) because of the inbreeding their kind has had done.
