All dogs are good dogs, but samoyeds are the best dogs.

I have always liked the look of Borzois and Salukis.

Medium Saluki

Salukis are like Greyhounds with feathering.

I have Shelties right now. All the cuteness of collies, maybe a quarter less hair.

I see many people who like spaniels but their positive traits only full realized once you cross them with a poodle.

I like boxers, especially the ones with stripy patterns. In my college ceramics class our lab tech would bring his dog in to open lab sometimes, his name was Joe and liked to beg for my lunch. 10/10 good stripy boi.

Bulldogs I also like. Low to the ground and sturdy, which gives them optimal balance for shredding.

Chinese Crested Hairless. I had two growing up that were differant varieties. Regular cresteds can be kinda ugly, and powerderpuff cresteds are pretty cute in comparison.

They're the sweetest dogs though. That were literally bred as companions to sick and disabled people. Having one sleeping next to you is like having a hot water bottle.

Such good puppies. I miss mine.

Huskies are great but I have to admit that samoyeds have a superior taste and texture, though are harder to come by. Generally I stay away from the smaller breeds, of course, since they have little to offer in terms of that particular dog meat taste and you don't get much meat for your buck. As a general advice, larger, more muscular breeds make the best eating experiences. Dog meat goes great with some mozzarella cheese to soften up the rather rough texture. Don't forget not to overcook it as the meat can get rather tough and unpleasant to eat. Best served with white wine. That's about all I know, hopefully someone finds this helpful.
 
I'll always have a soft spot for Jack Russell Terriers. Little bundles of personality with a sharp brain to boot.

Not without their problems, though. Shows like Wishbone and Frasier misrepresented just how stubborn, clever, and frustrating they can be for the unprepared owner.
Obvious one being they're infamous for being quite the jumpers so if they have a mind to hop over a gate they will. High energy so lots of play time and walks. Smooth coats shed such an ungodly amount of hair it's a wonder they even have any. Wire haired Jack's don't shed at all and broken cost Jack's are a nice compromise of smooth fur and minimal shedding. That said, if I had a schedule to devote time for a doggo I'd get another jack russel in a heart beat.

I still miss the little bastard. Just look at that smile!

Australian Shepherds are very smart, active, and extremely loving dogs. They like to cuddle, but aren't insistent on it like some dogs, and you can keep them around other animals without worry.
Collies are also top tier, near perfect dogs. The shedding really isn't that bad. I prefer it to most shorthairs even. Long hairs are soft, and just bunch up like tumbleweeds and you can sweep them up like cobwebs. Short hairs are hard, and are like tiny needles that get into everything, especially clothes, and itch like crazy.

I had two Jacks, one was shorthaired, and had a hilarious issue of if he lay down in the summer with his belly up I had to put sunscreen on him because the little fucker used to get sunburned as he was pretty much bald on his undercarriage due to being so short and liking to hunt in long grass.

They were both brothers (my auntie is not a breeder but owned a vegetable farm until that HS2 bullshit forced them to sell their farm and I got 2 of her pups), She always had at least 2 generations of Jacks running round at any time, all treated as if they ran the place, and they pretty much did. She also had a lot of farm cats and it was hilarious watching both the cats and the dogs stalking each other as if they were prey, and then getting caught out at the last second.

The other jack I owned was long/wire haired, and he was the sweetest dog ever, no clever, and really good temperament. The short hair could be a bit yappy and nippy if left to his own devices, but man I loved those dogs, and when my first cat decided I was going to adopt him it took all of about 3 hours for them to not go apeshit and try to kill each other.

My favourite breed though is not actually jacks, it's either English Bulldogs, (I would never own one because of their health issues and dribbly mouths) or Springer Spaniels, but I would never own one of them because the amount of exercise, discipline and constant work ethic they need is insane. Springers are extremely good dogs if you work them, but they are crap household dogs with a few exceptions.

Australian Cattle Dog. The poor man's working dog, anyone can get one for little money but they have tons of energy and train-ability if you put in the time. They also have, in my experience, the strongest hunting instinct of just about any medium size dog I've ever had:

This is my Australian Cattle Dog, sporting the less common red color palette. She was born on the 4th of July, 2018. Since that time she has caught and brought home, to date: 89 squirrels, 41 rabbits, 5 possums, 3 raccoon, a nasty ass skunk, and two entire turkeys. Yes, I have kept a written count. Not even my German Shep was as good at making living things dead as this bitch.

My husband breeds Cattle Dogs (registered before I cop backyard breeder bullshit). I have poms (no they’re not yappy ankle biters, they’re awesome happy dogs related to spitz and samoyeds), we found out the hard way my Pom bitch could sneak into our studs kennel when she had a litter of miniature cattle dogs. We kept a bitch, she’s an awesome dog!
