The "best dog" is different for different people.
It depends on what your environment is and what kind of traits you want from the dog.
A few things to consider:
- Where do you live, apartment or house? Do you have a fenced in yard?
- Do you want an active breed, or a breed that would loaf around the house of the time?
- Lifespan of the dog. Large dogs live on average 10+ years, and small dogs live on average 15+ years.
- Do you plan to take your dog for activities? If you want a dog to go on 9 mile hikes with you, choose a larger active dog, a small dog won't be able to do that activity.
- Do you or do you plan to have children? Some breeds are notoriously better with or worse with children.
- How much grooming do you want to do? Some dog breeds require professional grooming as well.
- Do you now or plan to own a house in the lifespan of a dog? Many home owners associations or home insurance companies will not allow or insure certain breeds, such as pitbulls, chows, dobermans, etc..
This is not a complete list of considerations, but it should at least help you get a start in narrowing down the search of the BEST DOG for YOU! :)

Every dog owner will tell you their breed of dog is the best. Best for you may be different from mine or others. Best for me is the Doberman Pinschers. They are very intelligent, powerful, loving & affectionate, easy to groom and very protective!!! My best friends!!!!!

I would have to say English Mastiff. I have had one since I was born and they are the most patient and fun dogs I have ever met.

Best kind??? Judging breeds of dogs and picking out one to be better than the rest is not much worse than being racist.
