This is a very common question that is asked a lot.
I don't have a specific breed I like over another, it is the temperament of the individual dog that I look for. I would much rather have a dog that has a strong temperament. It is much easier to tame the aggressive dog than it is to build courage & confidence in a submissive dog.
No small dogs for me. I have taken in large & extra large dogs for about 50 or so yrs & little dogs just don't fit in here & I do not like lap dogs.
