Ten good reasons

 German Shepherds

1. Great working structure - can run all day (at least should be able to), medium sized dogs designed for running, agility, scaling walls....anything

2. Appropriate coat for working - double coated "stock" coat pretty easy to maintain and very hardy for any working conditions, no need to protect the dog from the elements with doggy clothes

3. Variety within in the breed - Czech, DDR, west German show, American/Canadian show, west German working lines, various differences in coat style, color pattern, structure, and temperament (levels of drive, being sociable, etc)

5. Velcro dogs obsessed with working in conjunction with their handler - pretty self-explanatory, they live to work AND please

6. Size - medium to large dogs, generally very lean but well toned, perfect size for me

7. Unflappable temperament - German style shows include long periods of gaiting, close inspection, very cramped in the ring, guns firing over heard, protection work, etc.  A dog that has any issues as far as weak nerves, any form of aggression, fear of other dogs and people, startling, etc is not a true representative of the breed's sound character

8. Breeders - For every amazing breeder there are probable a hundred BYBs and puppy mills, but the people I've found who truly have devoted their entire lives (and often multiple generations) to the development of this breed have all left their mark

9. Longevity - Most GSDs I've known live to be at least 10, more like 12-14.  Kenya's mother obtain nearly a dozen titles all after 9 years of age.  Eagle von Eichenluft is 9.5 years old and is SchHIII 25 times over and was competing in 2007 as far as I know.

10. Superficial reasons - I love *** ears, black muzzles/faces, dark brown eyes, shorter coats, and tails
 

Why Rottweilers are the "Top Dawg"

1-Smart in a Donald Trump kind of way

2-Judges character in a Judge Judy kind of way

3-Who else better personifies "rugged good looks"

4-Work hard, play harder.  Though, sometimes "work" is play to them.

5-Nearly unbreakable mind, body or soul. 

6-They don't say much, but when they do $#!t happens.

7-You know that while you are away, your house and belongings are safer than your neighbors house with it's fancy ADT "security".

8-Have better "hygene" than most other canines do.  The "doggy breath" and wet dog smell are nearly non existant.

9-Loyalty that puts Sir Lancelot to shame.

10-They are always the "cool kid" at the dog park.

I had to do one for my Jakey boy.  Some is specific to him, others are general observations.

Why Mutts are the best

1-"They are like a box of chocolates." Forrest Gump (sort of)

2-They are always cuter than the sum of their contributers. (for example, a pug and a pekenese may make a really cute pup)

3-Usually are healthier and live longer than purebreds.

4-Will do anything you ask if he thinks it will get him a treat or belly rub.

5-Will do anything you tell him to do.

6-I like him because I liked Taz from looney toons.

7-Because he does that super adorable head tilt every time you talk to him.

8-Because he barks at and chases his own shadow. (I wish I could put video on here)

9-Uh, did I say s.m.a.r.t. (like when he jumped onto the washer, opened the door and pulled out just his bed cover and rope toy)

10-Is the best park nanny. Never lets my 2 daughters (2 and 4 years old) more than 10 or 15 feet apart from each other.

Top Ten Reasons why Irish Setters are the best breed for me:

 1. They LOVE people...walking in the door after going to get the mail you'd think you were gone for a year!

2. Their silly personality, they get into trouble even when they know it's not allowed just to get attention

3. Their desire for affection and lots of contact

4. Their excitement over a bird, rabbit, squirrel etc. never ceases to amaze me...I love that their instincts stay with them and what is ignored by us (like small animals) is the epitome of life in their eyes.

5. Stubbornness. Irish setters are incredibly stubborn, and while this can be inconvient at times (like trying to get them to come inside with 10 minutes to get to school), I like that they don't listen to someone just because. Kind of like me. :P

6. Physical attributes...love the color, feathering, head structure, height, and the overall appearance.

7. Irish Setter "hugs"...

8. Generally good with kids and other dogs

9. Permanent puppy mentality, including their inability to tire...love that they thrive on exercise.

and the number one reason ISs are the best breed for me is...
