1. Shelter "pit bulls" (my dog could easily be apbt and/or amstaff and/or american bully)
2. Staffy bulls 3. English pointers 4. Golden retrievers 5. Mastifs 6. All setters 7. great danes 8. Viszlas 9. Border terriers 10. Salukis In no real order after 3. I like FRIENDLY, there are some breeds who I think are very apealing that are supposed to be reserved or even mistrustful with strangers, it's just not a quality i'd want in my own dog, But I'd happily adopt less typical individuals. Some of my favorite dogs I've met have been 'guardian breeds' who had never met a stranger. I love a marshmallow rottie or german shepherd. I used to groom a Douge de bourdeax (sp?) with a wiggly pit bull personality, she was soooo sweet and gorgeous. I like soft, silly affectionate dogs in most shapes and sizes with the exception of anything with poodly hair (bichons, pwd, etc.) shi tzus, llhasas, I guess i really don't like any dog who's hair grows indefinately for some reason ![]() |

Have you ever actually handled a Magyar? I am really interested in this breed, I've heard they have a Greyhound-like temperament but are more robust and sturdy. Yes I have! ![]() What you've heard is pretty accurate... they're very Grey-like in temperament, but definitely more sturdy. I haven't lived with a Grey or a Magyar, so I couldn't help you with the differences in the home... but I like Magyars better for the field, because I don't like a fragile dog - and Greys are the most fragile in the field by a long shot lol ---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ---------- 9. Tibetan Mastiff I forgot these guys! Definitely my favourite mastiff. They are so gorgeous! |

Yeah, Greys are fragile, that's the only thing I don't like about them. If there were any Magyar breeders near me I'd have to have one, lol, although it's really difficult for me to imagine liking them more than I like Greys. I just love racing hounds, it's what I grew up with and I never got over it. ![]() |

Greyhound skin is their downfall. It rips way too easy. I don't think there has been one hiking trip that mine haven't had an injury! Biggest vet bills for Greyhounds is stitches! When my old boy Linus was alive, I don't think a year went by when we didn't have one major trip to the E-vet for stitches and drain tubes for him b/c he alway made sure the regular vet was closed before he got hurt! Although skin glue is my savor for small tears! |

I just love racing hounds, it's what I grew up with and I never got over it. The breeder I know just bred the very first American-born litter of Magyars earlier this year lol so there aren't really many "breeders" out there. I think there is another litter being planned - you should get in touch with her if you are really interested ![]() ![]() Greyhound skin is their downfall. It rips way too easy.

Grey owner/handlers in the field have to carry SO much water, and have an emergency cool-off kiddie pool and kit in the judge's vehicle. |

1. Belgian Malinois
2. Tervuran out of Malinois 3. Dutch Shepherd 4. German Shepherd Dog 5. Border Collie 6. Distance bred Alaskan sled dogs 7. Seppala line Siberian huskies 8. Akita 9. Alaskan Malamute 10. Rottweiler *Though I really love Rotties (and APBT's, Rhodisan Ridgebacks, DDB's, Corso's, and Boer Boels), I have to admit that I prefer furrier dogs that can withstand weather a little easier. I mean geeze Lily is happy in 100 degree summer heat or 15 below zero with snow on the ground and her feet are nasty tough naturally so that most goat heads don't even stick in there. |
