Dachshund, thanks to my lovely Hayley
Chihuahua's
Boxers
I have had chihuahua's and boxers my entire life growing up, I love them. I know what they need, how to train them, and their problem areas, etc. If I were to ever own anymore dogs after the two I have now, it will be from the three above hands down.
Currently I also own a German Shepherd and have owned a French bulldog, while I love them, I think they will be the only ones of their breeds that I would own. French bulldogs can come with some serious health issues if you don't get them from a quality breeder. I was new to the dog buying world and bought my fenchie from a byb, a horrible one
. He has such a horrible elongated palette that surgery would give him a 50/50 with improving or getting worse. He passes out from lack of air if he is over exerted, he throws up thick white foam when over exerted, and his body also becomes super tense when he is over exerted. Its a horrible thing to watch and my vet did not want the surgery for him. I opted to rehome him with my brother who has no children and no pets, a stress free home where he can live a "lazy" life. I know there are quality frenchies out there and even good breeders can not guarantee genes, but seeing the way my frenchie was here with the stress of kids and dogs was more than I and he could handle.
My German Shepherd is fantastic. I love her, but she constantly whining lol, its a german shepherd trait and I learned this after we had her for a few months. They are also a TON of work and need TONS of training otherwise they become super bored and either start to become defiant, dig, and tear up household items (a few reasons why you see so many in shelters). They are also constantly shedding, in fact GSD owners call them German shedders and say they shed all year long (its no joke, they shed A LOT). My GSD has some beautiful traits, she's loving, protective, gentle, but she can be a real spitfire and hardheaded. She'll be the last GSD I ever own, but I hope she lives a long healthy life with me since I have become attached to her.
