I love all breeds and I grew up with quite a few dogs (we had lots and lots of acres..). When it comes to small breeds I love Yorkies (of course) and Cocker Spaniels. I actually prefer the larger breeds and my favorites include German Shepherds, Alaskan Malamutes, and Great Danes. My husband and I are actually getting a Great Dane this summer (yay!) and another Yorkie sister for Schatzi
