Favorite breed of duck?

I've had all kinds of ducks Buffs, Pekins, Harlequins, Campbells, Calls, Swedish, Muscovy, Mule, and Mallard and

My Favorite , by far, is: Swedish

they are really friendly and easy to handle. they also come in Blue/Black/Silver! They are the only breed of duck I keep right now! They are AMAZING!
 
Hottentot Teals are pretty cool!

Love my ducks!! I have had Pekin, Mallards, Campbells and Muscovys, not too much of a variety available here in Hawaii due to strict quarentine rules but by far my favorite of the 4 breeds that I have raised is the muscovys! Love those crazy wild carnacles on the males and their bright blue eyes! I enjoy watching them fly around, they have alot of character, they are easy to train, very friendly, and they can stand their own ground to the dogs! The ducks always come up and socialize with me when I am sitting on the bench in the yard and allow me join them in their conversations with the head bops and neck stretches. We raise American Pitbulls that are pretty much animal aggressive, but very human friendly, and I have watched the ducks face off to them and intimidate the pitbulls, (hilarious to watch) and the dogs are actually submissive in front of the ducks, they do not bother the ducks at all, in fact, they avoid them! The ducks also hang out and eat with the chickens. The best quality about them, they do not quack! Love the hissing!

Just what I need....Actually our incubator messed up the humidity got high and the tempurature went low then up so I'm not allowed to hatch any right now.
 
I like Rouens, but I'm French, so I'm a little bit biased. Althouh, I do feel that they're probably the most natural domestic duck, from everything I've read and seen about them.

Other than that a good type of duck is duck a l'orange. LOL
 
All of the best ducks I've ever had were mutts.

Of the flock I've got right now, my favorites are the Golden 300s. Very wiley birds with a lot of personality.
 
My faves:

Crested Whites
Crested any breed
Calls
East Indies
Mandarins
Apricot Wood Ducks
Pekins
Muscovy (to eat!)


I find the Pekins & Crested Whites to be the friendliest & smartest.

I have 5 Muscovy, 6 Pekins, 4 Silver Appleyards, 2 Rouens, 1 Black Swedish, 2 runners and 1 Silver Appleyard/Khaki Campell mix. My Muscovy are the most people friendly and the Appleyards are the prettiest. I'd be hard pressed to pick an actual favorite.
