Heh, I had a jack russell that grew to ~20 pounds... we had to find a family with some land and give him to them. All that hyper and way too big of a body.

I had an odd mix-breed a while ago, boston terrier and chow. looked like a chow but had the personality of the terrier. really fun dog, you could chase him around the yard for hours. if i could find another like him,I'd scoop him up in a minute.

Definitely a Wheaten Terrier. I'm not a big terrier fan, but Wheatens are just lovable and fun. And they're also nice to pet!

Surprised no one has said Pit Bull.

Maybe because they are horrible pets and are responsible for at least half of all dog related fatalities in a year, and around 3/4 of all dog related attacks.

Plus they are illegal in quite a few places like where I live
