Pugs have a lot of breathing problems - and they snore continually (facial structure bred flat.)

On the other hand, Newfies drool. Gallons and gallons and gallons of drool. My first trainer had a Newfie named Kansas. Adorable girl though as big as a small pony, but if you stood next to her she would fill your shoes with saliva. When my puppy was naughty with the other dogs while boarding, she figured out pretty quick that she could hide under Kansas, be concealed by her belly hair, and Kansas wouldn't let any of the dogs she had been pestering get near her . . .

Well, truth be told I am a kitty person, and could find a negative about any breed. WE have a 3 year old, 100 lb lab now, and she will not calm down until she is arthritic.

I love huge dogs, and many of the giant breeds don't live very long. That's why I like Newfies and St Bernards. They live a pretty long time, as far as the big breeds go. I know they drool, but they are so fricking big it's worth it!

My favorite breed is a Collie, though.
