Which dog breed you WOULDN'T want to get?

Criosphynx

lol....ironically, I think kev will always want a pit bull around.

tankers

in no particular order:
chihuahuas - snappy i dont like their attiude and ive delt with too may spoiled brat ones at work with owners who praise them for growling and snapping at me
dachshunds- the will bite you in a heartbeat, dont want to deal with the back problems
cocker spaniels- the pee EVERYWHERE
Shit-Tzu- they crap EVERYWHERE anytime they get nervous and i dont want to constantly worry about my dogs eyeballs popping out
chow- this should be self explanatory, too untrusting and they make me nervous
anything hairy- wayyy too much work

There's no dog I wouldn't get-especially because of breed. I definitely love all dogs.

That being said-based on 'looks' only-I would steer clear of dogs with droopy eyes (I know it appeals, just not to me) and curly hair. So poodles and st. bernard etc. And I definitely prefer BIG dogs over small (lol -my dog is 14" high lol) but small are still in the running. Yeah I am pretty indescriminate lol

The only smooshed face I would own is a cavalier. Would NEVER own an English bulldog.
Wouldn't own most hounds- no scent hounds especially but I'd consider some sighthounds like a borzoi.
Not a fan of most terriers.
The only poodle I'd own is a standard.

haha, I stole it from someone else, but when I read it I cracked up laughing because before reading it the closest word I could think of for Willow was "brat" and it wasn't quite right, when I saw that word though it fit like nothing else.

Hrm...

In seriousness on this thread...

I dunno. I don't particularly like the looks of fox-terriers and have never wanted one. I think I was bit as a really young kid by one of my uncles =X

Beyond that, I just can't say "never". A bit under two years ago when Camille and I started searching for dogs I'd have said I'd "never" have a Chihuahua. Camille would have said he'd never have an English Bulldog. His last dog was a Chihuahua and so he was set on that breed being our dog. I'd never met an English Bulldog that wasn't friendly, fun, funny and awesome and so I wanted one badly. Opening our minds a bit to different breeds, we wound up with a Basset Hound. =P

Lately we've been talking about getting another dog when Willow turns around two (I guess it takes us two years to research, prepare for, find and eventually get a dog XD). I've managed to convince him that English Bulldogs are awesome and it's all he wants; he literally sits at home some days just looking at pictures of, reading up on, and wishing for one. Meanwhile, I want a Chihuahua like nothing else 'cause of their high trainability and energy levels. We'll probably wind up with a Borzoi.

Well, I guess that means you aren't going to move in then.

hmm... i'm not fond of smooshy faced breeds as a general rule... and i don't really want an extremely "drivey" breed like a malinois... too much dog for me to want to deal with on a regular basis... that said, if a dog needs me, and i am able to help it, i don't think i would worry too much about the breed or the size of the dog... tho i do tend to stay away from the smaller guys but that is more because of the risk of them becoming a part of the local food chain...

I could not see myself with a pug or dachshund.

My neighbor has two daschunds... Sometimes I want to strangle them, they bark so bloody much!!! Honestly, I've never seen dogs bark that much. We live in a 6 condo block, and everytime anyone steps outside, there's a bark orchestra. I'm happy my Tzu doesn't bark! Well, he does, but only when the cat doesn't want to play anymore, not when any type of shadow passes the windows...

Same here. Not my type.
