English Bulldogs are BY FAR the goofiest (personality) dogs on the planet. Mine is, anyway. They are total love bugs, and they do love to be lazy, which is great for those times you don't want to move out of bed.

OK, OK... They are super greedy; plus they shed, smell, and drool terribly. Otherwise, they're darn near perfect.

How's their breathing? Seems cruel

Had a female Golden Retriever during childhood & teen years. Never tied her up. Just let her roam the neighborhood.

On more than one occasion, we had families contact us from different part of town asking if she could spend the night. We let her even though we did know the families.

Many times the local police brought her back in the cruiser. They said that she was wondering around & they liked her companionship so they asked her for ride-alongs.

Neighbor across the street was not a dog person. Had two young female toddlers. While the girls were playing alone (about age 2 & 4) in their unfenced front yard with the fastidious father watching from a second story window while working, a Russian Wolfhound came charging at them to attack. Our 120 pound female Golden reacted swiftly knocking the Russian Wolfhound to the ground within inches of the girls. Our female Golden--Goldens are very protective of children-became ferocious in her chase of the Russian Wolfhound. Never saw the Russian Wolfhound again. Every Friday night for several years, our neighbor tossed our Golden a cooked charcoal grilled steak.

For a few years, our female Golden would lay down in the yard with the neighbor's children while they played. The toddlers could sit on her,play with her tail or ears, or pet her. Goldens are very protective of children.

Same! We've had several and have been so lucky that they've not been vocal dogs. All of them have been the biggest cuddlers and fantastic with every human they met.

We have a hound/beagle mix rescue now who has many of those same good qualities. However, he's a pro escape artist and will follow a scent trail for miles. We had to invest in a GPS collar for him because of his ability to wiggle out of every type of harness we've bought.

I didn’t think it was possible for a dog to be so cuddly until I got a beagle. She sleeps in the bed snuggled between us, head on a pillow. We spoon sometimes. It’s ridiculous. They’re huge babies.

I lost my beagle last spring and miss her terribly for all the reasons that have been mentioned before. I'd love to be able to find a reputable breeder to bring another one into our family.
