    JRT
    anything named by smushing the name of two breeds together (e.g., labradoodle, shibamo, etc.)
    Did I mention Chihuahua and JRT? I'll list them again because they are that low on my list.
    Chihuahua
    JRT

    Lol this is kind've messed up but here's mine
    1. Chihauha
    2. JRT (I had a friend whose JRT bit her every time she came home)
    3. Bloodhound
    4. Great Pyrenese
    5. Puggle but I'll add any designer combined breed

    Basset Hound
    Dauchsund
    West Highland Terrier/Wheaten Terrier (Most terriers actually...)
    ____-oodle/_____-poo
    Shango (my least favorite customer. I hated this leggy mutt so much that he gets his own "breed")

    This was hard, as I know many great -and many not great- representatives of lots of breeds.

    -anything hairless
    -anything with dreads
    -any designer dogs (I heard a lady correct someone today when they asked what breed her dog was "it's a Shit Zoo Poo")
    -anything with a brachycephalic skull
    -anything that weighs more than I do
  • edited November -1
    For me, basically anything with a flat face, any designer mutts, and any "hair" type dogs (poodles, shih tzus, yorkies).
  • edited November -1
    -Basset hound
    -Cocker spaniel- A family member of mine had one that was crazy . . . always biting people.
    -lab
    -poodle

    #1- border collie - I will leave it at that because I will become completely uncorked if I have to go into it.
    #2- airedale terrier
    #3- lhasas and shitzus
    #4- boxer
    #5- cav king chaz spaniel

    no purse dogs, no mops, no terriers, no herders. If it doenst bark on the bass clef, its not my dog.

    Cocker Spaniel
    Lhasas and Shitzus
    Jack Russell Terrier
    any designer breed
    Dachsund

    Any breed that cannot whelp on their own, also any breed created with no purpose other than to be a companion. Also any breed commonly seen in a purse in LA. Or any dog that has strangely short legs. And oddly wrinkled dogs like Neos and Dosas.

    Oh man, Basset hound and Blood hounds... so gross looking, IMHO. LOL

    oh, I shoulda put cockers instead of CKCS.

    4 of my list are breeds that have either hurt or terrified Sage, or killed my cat- are all of your lists personal like that too? I know I shouldnt paint breeds with a broad brush but...I guess I did. I suppose its better to base dislike on an actual experience rather than looks anyway. I mean, I'd never own a bedlington terrier, but I have met one and it WAS a nice lamb, er... dog. I just feel most strongly ("top 5") about breeds whose representatives consistently seem to piss me off.

    Just thought I should copy this, because this pretty much list:

    from shishiinu:

    Chihuahua
    Yorkie
    Chinese crested dog
    Mexican hairless dog
    Lasapso

    But I'd also say the so-called designer breeds, and like Brad, anything that can't breed or whelp on it's own. (English bulldog, for example). And I dislike Dachshunds and boston terriers too--bad experiences with both. Oh, yeah, and the Neopolitan Mastiff...too much drooling, and I can't deal with the face that looks like it is melted.

    I have to agree with pretty much everything that has already been listed. Of course being a dog groomer, it is hard to narrow it down to 5.

    "If it doenst bark on the bass clef, its not my dog." <-- LMAO

    I don't like a lot of dogs. [ correction: I like them, but they're not dogs I would personally want to live with ]

    Droopy / Overly Furry / Overly Wrinkly / Long-Haired / & Drooly dogs D:

    Bloodhounds are strange. ~

    OMG! Pugs freak me out...their eyes can pop out of their head!! ~

    I'm there with Brad on the dogs that can't whelp on their own, and am also rabidly against breeds that have inherent health issues due to 'type'.

    -Bulldogs
    -French Bulldogs
    -King Charles Cavalier Spaniel
    -Dachshund
    -Mexican Hairless

    I'd throw the Chihuahua in there but I don't think they're really dogs.

    anything smaller than 10 pounds
    breeds with too many common health problems
    and I also agree with the dogs that can't whelp on their own
    now to get more specific...

    toy poodle (I actually like the larger ones)
    maltese
    yorkshire terrier
    shih tzu
    English bulldog (it just doesn't look natural to me)

    lol Shigeru. I completely agree about the chihuahuas
  • edited November -1
    See I wouldn't own a standard poodle! They freak me out when they look down and to the side and stare at you.
  • edited November -1
    hahahahaha, that could be alittle creepy... :)
  • edited November -1
    anything designer/toy
    pug
    poodle
    cocker spaniel <--I cant handle an animal that pees everytime you look at it.
    JRT
  • edited November -1
    Chihuahuas
    Lab
    Cocker Spaniel
    JRT
    Llasa Apso
  • edited November -1
    Pretty much anything that can be described as toy, teacup, or miniature...or otherwise smaller than my butt and so are likely to be accidentally sat upon.

    St. Bernards...they are cutey faces but much too slobbery.

    Golden Retriever...I really like labs (especially the ones built like tanks) but I just don't see me having a goldie ever.

    Anything built for more froof than function.

    Beagle...I don't really know why...I'm just not a beagle person.

    Man, I LOVE the fact that JRTs are gettin' no love on this forum. :-)
  • edited November -1
    I know why, Rainy: Beagles BAY. No dogs that sound like bugles or airhorns! Put that down for me, too.
  • edited November -1
    Hmm... Not sure I can really narrow it down to breed, but maybe category?

    1 - Any breed whose standard weight is less than 15 pounds. (I have no use for a dog that I can lift with two fingers.)
    2 - Any breed that drools on a regular basis. (Give me tight lips and a pointed snout.)
    3 - Any breed that serves no function. (Just me, but I like working/hunting dogs. Even if they are just companions for me.)
    4 - Any breed that has a tendency to be 'needy'. And by needy I mean constantly touching me, not able to spend a moment alone, etc.
    5 - Any breed that shakes if it is less than 70 degrees outside and requires coats. (Again, just me, but I like hardy breeds that would rather eat me than wear a sweater.)

    1. Any dog whose nose or face is smooshed in.
    2. Any dog whose stomache almost hits the ground because of short legs.
    3. Purse dog.
    4. Breeds with common health problems
    5. Breeds who can't whelp on their own.

    hmm...the only reason I wouldn't get a dog like any of the above is because if I somehow got turned into a dog or reincarnated as one those are the type of dogs I would never want to be. I didn't list any specific breeds but, most people here can easily figure out what goes into those categories.

    Poodle--Any kind. I hate them.
    Cocker Spaniel--I have never met one that wasn't psychotic.
    Pug--Really? What's the purpose for this loudly-breathing thing?
    Bichon--Not a dog. This is what dogs eat.
    Great Dane---I'm not trying to have a dog whose lifespan is ten minutes.

    Otherwise, anything that is small enough to fit in a microwave or giant-sized is out.
