So I looked at every single breed on Wikipedia (huge list), and I've narrowed it down to 10 dogs that I like.
Here's the list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-European_Laika
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otterhound
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Setter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newfoundland_dog
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuvasz
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Tatra_Sheepdog
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrenean_Mountain_Dog
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maremma_Sheepdog
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Scotia_Duck-Tolling_Retriever
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_Spitz

The winner will be the dog I'll get (eventually).  giggle;

Get a Finnish Spitz

Do some serious research first. And go to a few dogs shows.

And once I get it down to a decent number, I will do more research on them.

You should probably find which are actually in your area first

Well by the time I get my own dog, I could very well be in a different area.  akudood;

You can talk to breeders about pros and cons and actually see the breed.  I did research too and changed my mind when I talked to a breeder.

It's been two or three weeks since I last saw my brother's girlfriend's border collie pup, and he's a lot bigger than the last time I saw him. He's still growing, though.

Get a welsh corgi or a shiba inu. cnotedood;

How do I make it so you can choose multiple options  baddood;

They are, but I decided they're not the type of dog I really want.

QuoteThere are only an estimated 1,000 or so Otterhounds in the world and somewhere between 350 and 400 in the US. Even in the early 20th century, when otter hunting was most popular as a sport, Otterhounds were not numerous. They are now considered the most endangered dog breed in Britain since only 51 were born there in 2006. They are on the list of Vulnerable Native Breeds as identified by the UK Kennel Club, and as much as possible is being done to save the breed. [2][3] Indeed, experts now view otterhounds as more endangered than the Giant Panda.[2]

:(

We're sitting my friends' dog. She's a very smart collie, a good contrast to my dumbass black lab. But I'm not a dog person. I prefer cats.

Our last dog died of cancer. The cats are still around.

How many do you want, and do you want me to reset the votes?

Yes, reset the votes. I want people to be able to choose 3.

I'd get either the Otterhound because it looks stupid or the Retriever because I like retrievers.

Are you sure you'll be responsible enough for one?

They're good. Probably not my favorite, but I do like them.

I picked the ones with nice names ^____^

The kuvasz cause it has an awesome name and looks cool  giggle;

I am pretty sure sheepdog need A LOT of exercise so if you do happen to get one of those you should be well aware it needs a lot of space to run and stuff.

I just noticed how long-looking the Irish Setter setter is.  baddood;
But I love it's red coat ;_;

Nobody likes the Newfoundland? ;__;

Of those, Irish Setter, although border collies are the best

Probably because it's one of the better looking ones.  That, or the Laïka.

plus it was the first dog in space giggle;

I think I like the Laika better, but the spitz does seem like a very good dog. I don't know though, i think maybe i prefer floppy ears.

Get a cat they are much more chill

My dog has Parvo an might have to be put down :(

Holy shit, this was exactly the same thing I was going to say.  doodhuh;

The last puppy is soo cute. It reminds me of my old dog. It died like a couple years ago and I had it like seriously sense I was born. So it was sad when it died. But that one you picked out is def. cutee you should get that one.

All those dogs are high energy dogs. Good luck with that.    n_u

So Rae, what type of dog would you recommend?

get a pet gator instead

Depends on how much time you have to spend exercising and grooming one.   happydood;
