The best dog is the one that chooses you.
Bravo! Dog ownership is a partnership-if it's right just about everything else will fall into place.
There is NO "one-size-fits-all" and trying to espouse otherwise is nonsense. Are some breed's temperaments better suited for certain purposes? Absolutely. But not every dog reads the rule book. One must consider ALL attributes of the animal AND him/herself before a decision is made. To consider other's input on certain attributes is fine but to obtain a dog solely based on someone else's idea of "perfect" is irresponsible. Make your own judgement.
