Anything smaller than my cats! Being a bit clumsy I'd be too frightened of treading on it.

I LOVE Staffs, but hubby is dead against them, so we'll never own them unfortunately

He used to be dead against Rotties too which are another of my fave breeds, but he has come round a little more to them, so hopefully in the future we will have one

I'd love a Manchester Terrier, but as they're a vulnerable native breed they're pretty hard to get hold of. If I'm lucky I will though, so not really a 'never' breed.
I also really like the Northern breeds (Malamutes especially) but I would never take on the responsibilty of a dog that needs so much exercise. I've met a few underexercised Mals and man are they crazy.

Max and Murphy would like you to know that they don't dribble at all

I love larger dogs like Leonbergers, Estrelas etc, but honestly couldn't be bothered with the brushing and grooming!

I really like Giant breeds (Newfies, Great Danes, etc.) but realistically, probably wouldn't ever own one. Their lifespans are too short for me and there would be practicalities due to their size. My house feels kind of cramped as it is and I don't have a big enough car. Also, I'd worry that one might accidentally hurt Tilly (Yorkie) and I don't think they would be compatible with Bo (extremely high energy). They also tend to be more on the lazy side so I could potentially have the saga of doing more separate walks to accommodate that.

Due to having to work long hours a Malamute, I just wouldn't be able to give one the exercise they need.

Due to the size of my house a real giant dog (put real giant as my boy is a DDB but he forgot to grow only 36KG that may have been why his original owners got rid!).

But then I said I never have a DDB because of the drool but I have learnt to love it
