re: What is your favorite breed of dog?

When I was a kid, we had a cocker spaniel/beagle mix that was a sweetheart.

When I got married, my wife's (no pics) family had two Rottweilers that I had to live with. They were very protective of the family, and it took them awhile to get used to me but once they did, they were good dogs.

My present dog is a lab/Aussie shepherd mix. A big, sweetheart dummy.

These are the only dogs I've ever had.
