Labradors, black specifically- friendly, loyal, not too hyperactive (in general), can be well trained, intelligent, gentle (they have 'soft' mouths which means they are very gently with things the are carrying- coming from their background as retrievers), fun (good for playing with), good family pets as they are safe around children, amazing in old age (theirs and yours!)

Rottwielers ! The Rottie is calm, trainable, courageous, and devoted to their owner and family. They have a reliable temperament. Protective, he will defend his family fiercely. These are strong fighters that seem immune to pain. Serious, steady and confident. Firm and careful training is essential for this breed, otherwise you may end up with a very powerful and overly aggressive dog. Yet they can, with proper handling, also be loyal, loving and very rewarding companions. They require owners who can handle their massive size. The Rottie is a natural guard dog with a mellow temperament. They are highly intelligent and have proven their worth beyond question in police, military, and customs work over many centuries. Because of their size, training should begin fairly young - while the dog is still small, and great care should be taken to ensure that the dog is not made vicious. This breed needs a lot of companionship and socialization to be truly happy. They can be aggressive with other dogs and should be kept on leashes in public places. When the Rottweiler is consistently brought up and trained, it will be a good playmate for the children. It will accept cats and other household pets as long as the dog has had a positive experience with them while it was young. Friends and relatives of the family are normally enthusiastically welcomed. Strangers can get no further than the sidewalk. The breed does well in competitive obedience, schutzhund, and tracking.

Every breed of dogs is different. The best thing to do is analyze your lifestyle and then do the research on which breed of dig would be best for you.
We have a pug mix and a lab mix. Both are willing to lay down and nap with you as well as play or exercise when you are.
The best place to go is a rescue shelter. They typically know a lot about the dogs that the rescue from death. Animal shelters know very little about the dogs they bring in and they are usually euthanized in less than a week. Pet stores use puppy mills which can mean the puppoes health is uncertain. If you want a purebred, breeders are good but only after research on one that is reputable.

You havent mentioned if you are speaking generally or for keeping as a pet. Most breeds are good but if your living in asia then you need a short haired dog if you are not having a lawn then you dont want a very big dog etc etc. I have an English Pointer and find them highly intelligent and therefore easy to train and very obedient plus easy to care for and not too big and not too small. Get the point, You should consider all conditions including enviroment etc when choosing a dog.

Golden Retriever because they are so smart it doesn't take them long to learn something new. They are the kind of dog that will stay by the house all day waiting for you to get home. They don't have a lot of health problems either. There hair isn't to short so it wont come out like short hair dogs. Short hair dogs shed more than longer hair dogs. Golden retrievers aren't a smelly dog.

A friend of mine has one and it is the best dog. My son is only 3 and that dog will keep my son entertained for hours. When my son was a baby that dog would sit right next to him and just watch sleep and if I wasn't in the same room while my son was sleeping the dog would stay there next to the play pen and just watch him sleep. If me son would wake up the dog would bark. My friend can take max on his boat all day the dog will play on the beach in the water playing with a stick or anything you are willing to play with him. When it's time for me to have a dog that's the kind I'm going to get,

That really depends on what you want in a dog. I have a boxer and I think she is the best. She is active, but knows when to calm down. She goes running with me which is important to me. She is an amazing guard dog. She gets along great with kids. She is a medium size dog so she doesn't eat too much. She also has short hair so shedding and grooming are not a problem. She is very low maintenance.

Whichever dog you have. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and dogs just rock. So, depending on what breed you own, that breed is probably the best. Different people, different breeds. I love English Setters. They are extremely affectionate and playful, and excellent bird dogs.

You need to research for a dog that fits your lifestyle. If you are a couch potato than an active dog like a lab won't work and will be an exercise in frustration. If you have small children a puppy might not be the best choice. Check with local rescue organizations for a pet to adopt. They are excellent at matching dogs and individuals based on lifestyles. Please don't forget to spay or neuter.

It all depends on what you like. The answer to that question is a matter of opinion. What one person thinks is the best breed, another person may not like. Your best bet would be go to a shelter and see what dog speaks to your heart.

MUTTS they have better immune systems than pure breeds that tend to have a lot of health problems due to breeding from the same group of animals
