DH likes hounds, especially Catahoula's and he also like Queensland Heelers. He has a sentiment for German Shepherds from childhood but he likes your average all american mutt dog the most.

He thinks my bully breeds are to stubborn but he loves Rory all the same.

My DH always gets what kind of dog he likes or he makes getting another dog a bit difficult. He is an irish setter guy.

When we strayed from the breed years ago after two wonderful but always sick dogs, he wanted a brittany. We had a wonderful ten years with one who might go down in our family history as the best dog we ever owned. A perfect dog minus the extreme shedding.

When our brit died I wanted to get a viszla. Actually had a deposit on a puppy in fact. Two days before our dog was to be ready, he freaks out and wants an irish setter again. Find me an irish setter from a great breeder please he cried. So I lost my deposit on my viszla pup and found him his irish setter. He really likes-

irish setters, english setters, brittany, springers, basically he likes sporting breeds. We both do. We love to watch them in the field and like their looks.

Well, yeah, *I* know that, but *HE* doesn't. :P The only pap he really knows is one that's a training client of mine, who *IS* a lap tumor. :P

My neighbor boy is the same way. He loves Maghee & is always picking her up. She loves to sit BY you but not on you. Well unless you're my DH, she loves to sit on his belly. It's kind of soft & snuggly. If it were up to him she'd be forever in his arms. That makes me nuts(er).

Sorry to hijack the thread. It's a great one.

He'd kill me if he saw this, but my little brother has a thing for papillons. :P

That's totally understandable. I am single. My sister has a thing for border collies, tollers, and then Pyrs..... and obviously papillons. We're a lot alike though.

I didn't even need to ask DH. He likes mutts. Preferably ones from a shelter. I've taught him well. :o)

RE: Papillons. Don't kid yourself. They are not all little foofy, lap tumors. They can be quite active, some make great agility dogs, obedience dogs, therapy, assistance dogs. They can pretty much do anything except personal protection.

neat thread!

Newfies or malamutes are the only ones he's ever expressely expressed interest in.

Once, when we were contemplating dogs and how great our first dog Yukon was, even though we only had him two years and DBF said "Yeah, he was a great first dog. Everyone should adopt old dogs as their first dogs because they're so easy"

Out of the mouth of babes, I swear! I was so proud!

DH is mesmerized by Gordon Setters. His family has always had Irish Setters but he just loves the Gordon's colorings.

my BF wants a french bulldog soooo badly!!

My DH loves Frenchies too! I think we will have one when we are old and not active enough for Aussies anymore.

My DH also loves Clumber Spaniels, any bully breed, and Aussies. We see pretty eye-to-eye on the dogs. He wasn't psyched about Aussies at first, but Luna chose him the minute she came home and now he can't imagine not having at least one. Good girl Luna!

Jeremy likes chocolate labs, golden retrievers, pugs, and beagles. My brother is in LOVE with huskies and yellow labs. My Dad also loves yellow labs, springers (previously owned 2 of them), and german shepherds (previously owned 3 of them). My Mom really likes long haired daschunds, and would like to own one one day. My Grandma liked anything tiny (under 10lbs)....until she met Apollo. Now she LOVES him (he's 110lbs!).

Well my whole family loves Irish Setters (if Riley were not an Irish Setter, I NEVER would have been allowed to adopt him, lol). They do like other breeds too of course. My sister really likes labs and Irish Wolfhounds. My dad likes Basset Hounds and Black and Tan Coonhounds. My mom likes Goldens and Collies.

But given the choice between any of those breeds and an IS, there is no doubt in my mind my parents would go straight for the Irish.
