I don't really care what anyone says about this breed because I have found it to be the best. I own a 6 month old American Pittbull. He is the best dog I have ever owned and he is extreamly intelligent. He can sit shake with both paws. lay down. roll over. speak with inside and outside voice. fetch. catch. and is completely potty trained. he also follows me around, and likes everyone i bring around him. He has shown no anger tendancies as some people will claim. He is totally the best dog i have ever seen. my friend has his sister and that dog is also just as loyal :) my little sister has 3 pittbulls and will own nothing but this breed of dog. they are truly amazing.

All the other breeds listed are good choices, but come on people. The German Shepherd was bred to work with people. Do you really need to hear stories about their loyalty. How many German Shepherds have given their vs for their human police officer partners? German Shepherds are the most common working dog, even though they are technically a herding breed, to be used for drug searches, search and rescue, therapy, seeing eye (not to metion they were the first used as guide dogs), and for work with police and the military. Many police will use Labs and Goldies and other breeds, and when they are asked, it is only because they are not as intemidating as a German Shepherd. But the German Shepherd has shown, time and time again, it is the loyalist, rather it be jumping in front of a bullet, tracking down a bomb or a kilo of crack, or spending 14 hrs searching for survivors of the World Trade Center after 9/11, and then having to be physically removed from the seen. Now, what other breed can you say that for?

Most of your criteria have to do with the individual dogs personality. Perhaps you should look into breed rescues and getting an adult dog so you will know for instance if the dog will like dog parks and car rides. Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers would be a good match except they shed everywhere. Low shedding dogs require clipping every 6 to 8 weeks. If you can afford the grooming I would suggest a Standard Poodle (clipped short all over so it looks like a dog). They were originally bred as water retrievers. The Standard Poodle is to the Labrador Retriever as the German Shepherd is to the Collie. Dogs should not ride in the front seat. The airbag can kill them or they can hit/go through the windshield. The safest place for a dog in the car is in a crash tested seatbelt harness (Ruffrider Roadie) buckled in the center of the back seat.

Defintly a lab. I have a 1yr old. She is the most loyal, loving thing in the world. When I am around she does not leave my side. Everytime i get up or walk somewhere no matter what she is doing she follows me. If I am taking a shower she will lay on the floor and wait for me. All she wants to do is be loved and to give love. She is great with everyone, not a mean bone in her body, but if someone does come to the door that she dont know she will let off her warning bark, then of course as soon as the person comes in the door she smoothers them with kisses and attention. They are defintly great animals. Theya re so lovable and dependable. I couldnt imagine my world with out my baby in it.

I'll opt for a Rottweiler. My wife and I came home from working the evening shift. We live in the country. As we drove up to the house, I was surprised to see Hummel, the Rott, sitting on my front porch (he should have been inside). We went into the house through the front door. My dinning room was a shambles. Table was knocked over, one chair was broken, stuff scattered on the floor, and there was a considerable amount of blood. I then checked the dog over and found three deep stab wounds on his shoulder and back. I followed the blood and debris trail to my back door, which I found pried open. A burglar had popped the lock with a screwdriver and entered the house. Hummel was probably upstairs lounging on the sofa in the den. He heard the noise, came downstairs and found the intruder. He nailed him hard. I reported the break in and about 30 minutes later was notified by a deputy that my burglar was at the local hospital getting over 80 stitches in his arms and legs. They checked his pickup and found a bloody screwdriver that he's tried to fend off Hummel with. The dog recovered without any problems. The thief is doing 5 to 7 years.
Yep, I love my Rott.

It all depends on what you want to do with the dog as far as the best breed goes.If you want to use it as a fowl hunter/retreiver then get a dog from the birddog selection.If you want to use the dog as a deer,squirrel,rabbit,and so on then get a dog in the hound selection.If you want a dog that with herd cattle or such then get a dog from the working/herd selection.If you want a guard dog then get one from the working/protection selection,and so on.
As far as the most loyal goes,any dog you choose can/will be the most loyal dog in the world if you take care of and love it.It all starts with you.

All my dogs have been loyal.
I was home late at night with my mom and suddenly the front door opened. My little 14lb. Sheltie leaped over the couch and charged growling at a shadowy figure.
My dad had come home early and thought he'd surprise us...boy was he surprised ! He had to take off his hat and let the dog hear his voice so she knew it was ok.
My 28lb. Whippet defended me when a man surprised us. No harm was intended, but my dog didn't know that. He charged him, growling and stopped when I told him to.
I took my Whippets to a Temperament Test. All the GSDs and Rotts failed. Both my Whippets passed. When the decoy charged us, yelling my 29lb. Whippet female, charged him, barking loudly.
So yes, GSDs and Rotts were bred for defense so that is natural to them. But my dogs took on humans that were so much larger than them and they did it without hesitation and none of them were breeds that are thought of as guard dogs.
All of them called off, when I told them to stop. These days that is very important.
I love lots of different breeds for different reasons. Any dog can be amazing with the right owner.
There is a Whippet certified as a Search and Rescue dog btw.

Pitbull. They are one of the most loyal breeds out there. All they want to do is make their people happy. I'm not sure I would ever own another breed.

Loyalty has nothing to do with the breed. Just like people, sometimes you click; other times no. It takes trust, kindness and respect to establish and maintain loyalty.
As far as the best breed is concerned: Poodle
They're smart, a breeze to housebreak (they're very fastidious!), and don't shed, are loyal, and offer great companionship. We had a poodle for almost 18 years, and we all miss her beyond words. She was the greatest ..

Our experience has always been a mixed breed. We also have pure breads. Lab, Schnauzer, Dalmatian, and my girlfriend had a cocker spaniel, which was nasty and peeded all over the place. We called him the furry bladder.
Do your research, because as the dog gets older, their personality does change.
There was a poll on AOL and the best dog was a Lab!
