If I had to own a dog, it'd be either a greyhound, a lab or a staff.

I feel like with the independence thing it just varies between breeds. I don't feel it's necessarily a dog/cat quality. Sure more cat breeds tend to be on the independent side but I've encountered some needy cats that are just downright annoying because I didn't expect them to be that way.
Personally, I like dogs and cats but I do tend to lean more towards cats. The next dog that I'd like to get is a Scottish Terrier. I've always wanted one of them. I've had my fair share of big dogs and I'm over them for the most part.
