Poodles (any size)

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Beglington Terrier
Airedale Terrier
Wheaton Terrier
Kerry Blue Terrier

I would have picked the same way for my least faves! I don't at all like curly coats or flat faces, and I could never picture myself with a terrier of any sort!

Top 10 favorite (in no specific order)
Jack Russell Terrier, Doberman Pinscher, Xoloitzcuintle, Chinese Crested, Standard Poodle, Akita, Pit Bulls, Belgian Malinois, American Hairless Terrier, Boxer

I love them, because I love independent, stubborn, active, challenging dogs. Boxers seem to be the least challenging on  that list, but they're feircly loyal and gaurdy. I like hairless dogs, a lot. I wouldn't own all of those dogs (Akitas are too much dog, for me, and Chinese Cresteds are a bit on the delicate side... Mals are also too much), but I *love* them.

Least favorite 10:
Siberian Huskies, West Highland White Terriers, Schnauzers, Laborador Retrievers, American Eskimo Dogs, Wheaton Terriers, Basset Hounds, Chesepeake Bay Retrievers, Miniature Pinschers, and Pugs

Those are mostly due to bad experiences.

Top:

Australian Cattle Dogs
Border Collie
American Pit Bull Terrier/ American Staffordshire
Catahoula Leopard Dog
Belgian Malinois
Field-bred Labrador

Least (no particular order):

Golden Retrievers
Chihuahuas
Yorkies
Mini/Toy Poodles
Lhasa Apso
Shih Tzu
Maltese

Oh boy, this is a tough one.  I don't think I can pick just ten for my favorites and can't pick ten least favorites.  I love them all but here goes......Top picks:  Chow chow (for their beauty), collie or any of the herders (they are just too cool) American Staffie (so sweet and misunderstood) Mixed breeds (just because [])  Bottom picks:  Probably the toy group.  Not that I don't like them but I like a substantial dog if that makes any sense.

I don't really like this list, because it is not that I do not like these breeds, more that I would never want one of them. I do not really hate any breeds, except designer dogs and all of the new minis. Although I really dislike Pugs mostly because I hate pigs! Weird, I know.

I know what you mean. There are many breeds that I adore, but would never ever own. I love ancient flock guardian types, but could never own one. I don't like suspiciousness of strangers in a dog, and they would be WAY too much dog for me.
I like most hounds, most working, herding and sporting types too.

I don't like many toy types, but I do like pugs. I love their expressive faces and their stout bodies. I think poms are cute (DH and I call them micro-mochis, after our one dog), but they'd probably be too barky for me.

For me, there are a few 'eew, get that thing away from me' breeds, but I don't want to name them in case I hurt anyones feelings. People have all sorts of different tastes, and I accept that.[]

Top 10:
 
Chihuahua
Shih tzu
Chinese Crested
French Bulldog
Boston Terrier
Pug
Australian Shepherd
Golden Retriever
Labrador Retriever
Newfoundland
 
I don't hate any breed, but the one breed I will definitely never have is a Doberman Pinscher.  When I was little I was attacked by my uncle's doberman.  A few years later I was chased down by two that were running loose in the neighborhood.  I realize they are not bad dogs and I am not afraid of them, I just don't have the desire to have one.
 

Some of my faves are:  Border collie, aussie, corgi, PBGV, GSD, Rottie, greyhound, Cav King Charles Spaniel, standard poodle, great pyrannese

Least faves:  most toy breeds (tough to potty train),  most husky type dogs (prob too stubborn and pully for me),  labs and goldens (too goofy), most terriers (too scrappy/independent), pugs (too snorty).

Ok, here goes:

Top Ten Favorite
1. American Pit Bull Terrier/Am Staffs

4. Chinese Crested
5. Jack Russel Terrier
6. Beagles
7. Maltese
8. Collies
9. Yorkshire Terrier
10. German Shepherd Dog

Not that I dislike any breed of dog, as some have stated before, but I just wouldn't choose any of these breeds for myself.

I don't have a top ten...just a top two: mutts...I have only had 1 purebred dog, and the rest were shelter mutts. And if I were going to have another purebred, it would be a corgi.

I don't have experience with alot of different breeds and don't really dislike any.
