What breeds and how many? I have six Great Dane mixes :D

I've got an 80lb male German Shepherd, a 75lb female German Shepherd, and a 55lb female American Staffordshire. :)

I don't own a large breed dog, but I do love them AND medium-sized dogs! They aren't real dogs unless their brains are bigger than the size of a peanut ;) My family owned a female labrador retriever/australian shepherd for a long time until she died five years back. I'm ready for a new dog, but the idea of taking care of a large dog by myself is daunting -- not because of temperament, but because I am not the biggest, strongest person myself and I remember having trouble when our dog got older and her health failed -- we had to lug her butt around. ;) What breeds do I adore? Oh, gosh!

I've never had a problem with dobermans, rottweilers, or pitbulls. I also like great danes because of their height, but I lovelove boxers because their height is made out of leg and they're super friendly and playful throughout adulthood. There's a french breed of dog named the Beauceron which is a herding/guard dog that has the build of a retriever and the markings of a german shepherd or pinscher. :) Lookit their little faces!

I've been around large dogs my whole life and I do prefer them over smaller breeds. I'm not a dog owner yet but if everything goes well I'm getting my very own Akita (Inu) puppy this autumn!

My dog is technically a large dog, body-wise, but hes got stubby legs, which also technically puts him in the medium category. he's an Australian Shepherd/Cardigan Corgi mix.

I have a french mastiff (100 lbs), two dalmatians (60lbs) and a german shepherd/border collie mix (85lbs) They're all big and great. :)

has several large dogs.

Large breeds are definitely where it's at. Our older girl is going to be 16 this year, and she's an (addmittedly overweight) Rottweiler/GSD mix coming in at about 100 lbs. Then there's my dog Orion who is a Lab. He's 4 years old, taller than our older girl, and at a very lean 85-90 lbs. He has two modes: running, and sleeping.

Favorite breeds? Doberman wins top spot, hand (or should I say paws?) down. Labradors are slowly creeping their way up the list ever since I got Orion as a puppy. The saluki, Irish wolfhound, and Scottish deerhound are all lined up after that in no particular order.

I've only ever had Border Collies or Border mixes, so I guess breed wise I've never owned a large dog. I do seem to end up with big boys though. The first boy I had was almost 90lbs and very solid. My current boy is pretty lean, probably 60lbs, but he reaches my shoulders (I'm 5'11") when he stands up for a hug.
