so I'm curious to see, which breeds just don't click with you? Whether it be because of temperament, appearance, specific needs, etc.
For me, there are many breeds I just wouldn't consider because they don't match my preferences. I just thought it'd be interesting to learn why certain breeds don't mesh well with certain people...what others opinions are on different breeds. So here's my list. : ) Oh, and please no one take offense, they are just my personal reasons...I was just looking through an AKC book and thought it was interesting to hear what my mom thought of each breed vs. me. So I brought the topic here.
Pharaoh Hound - I don't care for the looks, and they are too independent from what I've heard
Shih Tzu, Papillon, Chihuahua - not a fan of very small dogs or ones that are often dressed up in little outfits, but I was also only raised with large dogs, so I am undoubtedly biased. Also, a "yappy" bark quite literally bothers my ears, I don't mean to sound offensive, it's just what it does to me.
Pitties - I don't want to deal with the potential dog-dog aggression, and even though my opinion on this breed has changed SO much for the better, I still don't feel 100% at ease with them as I do other breeds. It's because I've been told to fear them all my life, lol. \
Most hounds - I'm sorry, it's the bark, lol. But I think a lot of the hound breeds are very pretty!
So please do share! Everyone here has their favorite breeds, and therefore there have gotta be some that don't make the top of the list. : P
