Best family dog I've ever owned is a little black bitch pug.

I'll agree w/ Arrisard on "The Catahoula Leopard". Awesome hunter breed! We use those on a pig hunts down here in TX and they are simply amazing.

I read they calm down after a while. You just have to always have em on a leash unless they are fenced in. The females anyway...the males I heard are nuts.

German Shepherd - best dog ever!!

There was that, with mine, as well. When she was a few months old, she ate the bathroom door (a good 3-4 cubic inches of it). I'm not joking. But after she grew up, she was perfect.

Mine must have been broken. After the normal puppy stage, she was lazy, unless there was food or a squirrel around (squirrel=food). She was the runt, and although both parents were definitely Beagles, she looked more like a mini Basset.
