Despite starting this inadvertently, I' m with the rest of you in the "that's not a dog" camp for little yippy dogs myself. Neighbors had some when I was a kid and they drove me nuts. I'm a Lab-sized dog person but anything not tiny and annoying I'm usually a sucker for.
Not nearly that size, but still seeming pretty giant when I was young, my friend had a Golden Retriever that would come charging at me whenever I visited his place (which was frequent) but wouldn't stop. He didn't realize his own size and not only loved to unintentionally tackle us in excitement but also had a penchant for stepping right on ones balls while they were down.

Whenever we'd play outside he'd be playing with us and anything remotely like a ball he'd be going after like crazy as we would throw/pass back and forth. We'd have to constantly get him chasing after something else or he'd eventually get the ball we'd been playing with (even if it meant taking us down to do so occasionally) after which it became a different game entirely of trying to get it back. Most of the balls, frisbees, etc. that they owned sooner or later became slobber-covered chewed-up property of his. Loved that dog.
