My favorite large breed has to be the great dane!!! I have princess! She is two years old, and she is one of the best dogs we have ever had. I know now why they are called the "gentle giants"!! She is the sweetest, calmest, and most gentle dog we have ever had!

I LOVE Great Danes!!!! I also LOVE St. Bernards! The large breed I always wanted to own and never have is the Newfoundland.

Boxers! I have a boxer named Ellie who is about 60lbs and still tries to climb in my husbands lap! I swear she thinks she is 2 lbs! When we lived in Manhattan b4 we had children, she used to get playdates! The neighborhood kids would knock on our door practically every night, "Can Ellie come out to play?". She is so sweet and the worst guard dog ever! She loves everybody! I especially love the way when she meets someone new, or when we come home that she wags her nub so hard and bends into a c shape! I think all boxers do that though!

German Shepard Hands Down! Since I was 2 my family has owned multiple Shepards. My dad had one, my grandma, my aunt, my great grandma, etc. They are just so loyal and have protected our family faithfully! With lots and lots of love...

One time when I was a toddler, my dad layed me on the couch for a nap and our German Shepard layed next to the couch the whole time looking out for me. When my dad would tickle me and I would squeal with delight, our sherpard would start trying to pull my dad away in fear I was hurt... They are so loveable!

Great memories of having them... That is why for my family it was a SHOCK that I went and got 2 "ankle biters". LOL!

I've always wanted a Collie, ever since I was a little girl and watched Lassie reruns! That show collie's pic is just gorgeous!

I agree with you about the "designer dogs" thing, absolutely! The only reason I am so obsessed with the idea of the Goldendoodle is that they don't shed! My yorkie has me so spoiled that if I ever do get a larger dog, it will have to be one that doesn't shed!

I would LOVE to see a picture!

I've always loved Great danes although i'm not sure i'd be brave enough to have such a big dog.
I also love labs and recently a friend has started to breed Leonbergers they too are huge but lovely.
Here is a pic of 1 in case you havent seen one as until my friend got 2 i'd never heard of them.
