Well, so much for the Indian Summer. It lasted just two days. Today it is very chilly and very overcast and expected to remain so for a few days.
Thanks to all of you who took part in the poll. This one was not so popular as the one I did about aromas but it was all I could think of to come up with.
I also thank you for letting me know about your own pets under the comment section. Someone mentioned a breed that I had never heard of - Tennessee Treeing Brindle. I did think right away that this must be a hunting dog and it obviously "trees" things. I was curious to know what this animal would look like. So, here is a picture for those of you who, like me, did not know of it.
Now, here are the results of the poll

The Labrador proved far and away the the most popular as you can see. Alsatian (German Shepherd) was quite low on the list which did surprise me.
Thank you once again for voting. Have a good week everyone.

I think people probably didn't know an Alsatian is a German Shepard type dog. Linda
Interesting results Jeannette think Cocker Spaniels are tops. Love Joan.
Labs are very popular around here. I had one once. Over the years I've had several different kinds. I really don't have a preference as they all had some good qualities. Now I've got the beagle. Hope your Monday is a great one even though the nice weather has left you. 'On Ya' - ma
I live in Tennessee and I've never heard of a TN treeing brindle!

im one of thos that didnt know about the german shepard it was gonna be my choice but didnt see them listed
lousy day here in norfolk jeannette that nice weather was summer not just indian one lol lousy weather. take care love mort xx im one of the cat lovers but if i had to choose a dog it is a labrador.
I think labs are beautiful and friendly. I like cross breeds also, that is what our two are LOL. Helen
Woo-hoo for the Labs!!! I may be very biased but I just love them and cannot imagine living without (at least) one. In addition to always having a lab or five (lol) I am going to adopt from the shelter though as I believe all dogs are special and so many need good homes. My Buddy who is a pit bull mix has turned out to be a wonderful companion and I adore him. Fun poll!

I remember when I was a little girl (nearly 70 years ago), Pekes and Scotties were very popular. Now you hardly ever see them.

I am not surprised that the Labrador came top ~ they are such a gentle dog ~ I was surprised too that no one voted for the "Greyhound" ~ I have met quite a few of them and they are such a lovely dog ~ I did enjoy reading the results of this Poll Jeannette look forward to your next one ~ Ally x
I too was surprised to see the German Shepherd rated so low. I would have given a vote to the Rottweiler, but it would really have been a vote for the Rott. that we had many years ago, who was a very special pet and perhaps not typical of Rottweilers. So I opted for 'none, I'm a cat lover'. If I was able to have a dog, I have always fancied a white Highland Westie, but after seeing Kizzie, Jan's dog, I would really love one of those!

I`m not at all surprised that labradors came first as they are such lovely dogs, trustworthy, loyal etc. I hadn`t heard of the Tennessee Treeing Brindle but they do look like nice dogs.
Love Sandra xxxx

((((((((((((((((((((((HUGSTOYOU))))))))))))))))))I kinda figured Rottwelir would be least on the list.This was a nat poll.I never heard of that breed either,but,I have see dogs like that before.Have a nice day.
I had never heard of the Tennessee Treeing Brindle either. He is a handsome chap. Eileen x

We had a yellow lab called Ben, they are lovely friendly dogs.
Jenny <><
Darn, I didn't get to vote... My favorite breed, though, is a Rottweiler.... that's my dream dog.... (BIG SIGH!!!) ONE DAY!!!!!!!!
Joann
It's really hot here again....UGH! I was so enjoying the nice fall weather. Loving up my Cocker Spaniel here :)
Pooh Hugs,

Here in Texas a good ol' Cur dog is highly prized.....especially if he has a black mouth. They come in all colors. Basically they are just a good all round watch dog, working dog, hunting dog and family friendly. That's what Ol' Yeller was supposed to be. A Yellow Cur dog. Oh, well. I'm through now. - B arbara
Well heres hoping that the mild weather will last into the weekend Jeannette, its been forcast for the SE.
I for one am suprised at the Alsation being so low.... that was my choice... I would love a long haired German Shepherd if i could, they are beautiful dogs. Guess you can understand why the Labrador came top... they are soppy dogs, so family friendly and helped along by the Andrex ads :o))
Have a great weekend
hugs Jayne
