Top 5 Breeds You'd Own

1.  A herder -- cos I love them.  collie, border collie, sheltie, corgi (my least favorite), Aussie shepherd, or any mix

2.  Tibetian spaniel -- David's not fond of the attitude of the breed.

3.  I like little dogs -- pom, peke, paps ... don't really care.

4.  Pugs -- the more I know Tink the more I know she's unusual, but they DO crack me up. 

5.  Mixes -- I'm truly *not* a breedist.  I know that's anathema to most folks on here but I'm really not into breeds, shows or that kind of stuff.  I just like dogs.  But I like to get to know the individual "dog" -- more than the breed.

We tend to always get something different than we've had before because for us part of the joy is learning what makes this dog's breed 'tick'.  We nearly didn't take Billy cos he was a cocker (and Muffin the Intrepid was a cocker) -- we like them ... just "been there done that".  I'll never be stuck on a breed.  It's just not 'me'.

That said -- I probably won't do any hound again ... the vocal part of them makes me nuts.  Whine, talk, etc. -- it's all at the wrong pitch for me. 

 1. Chows (won't be without one or, preferably, two)

2.Poodles (any size)

Those are really the breeds we want to live with

if for some reason I could not have a Chow (for whatever horrible reason that could possibly be) , I'd consider a Standard Schnauzer.  But, we're pretty set on our breeds

1. Doberman Pinscher
2. Doberman Pinscher
3. Doberman Pinscher

Oh, I'll bet that you were looking for 5 DIFFERENT breeds. 

1. Doberman Pinscher
2. Belgian Malinois
3. German Shorthaired Pointer
4. Weimaraner
5. Dachshund

Obviously one of my breeds are not like the others...

 I love this game :)

 Amanda -- good choices!! (ahem) hehehe

1. Weimaraner (of course :)
2. Standard Poodle -- I have a fascination with them!
   
3. JRT/PRT
   
4. Doberman (I wish there weren't so many serious health issues and it'd be #1 or #2!) 
5. Dalmatian (Again, I wish there weren't so many serious health issues.... really a shame.)

 Hmm, no fair, 5 is too few. LOL

1) Min Pins (though I wouldn't say no to a Dobe either)

2) Beagle or Harrier

3) Papillon

4) English Springer Spaniel or Brittany

5) Swedish Vallhund

 Was hard to leave Borzoi, Basenji, Plott and Vizsla off the list. 

In no particular order of preference:

Standard Poodle

Weim

Papillion

Vizsla

English Pointer

edited my spelling

Beagle

Whippet

Greyhound

Shih Tzu

Lhasa Apso

 No particular order:

1. Flat Coated Retriever

2. Golden Retriever

3. Labrador Retriever

4. GSD

5. Doberman

1. border collie

2. papillon

3. corgi

4. aussie

5. any mix of any of the above 

Honestly I'll never own anything but GSDs now.  I have an interest in a few other working breeds but can't see myself getting one, they're all so different.

For Schutzhund: German Shepherd, that's about it. If someone were to give me a good Malinois, I'll take it but I don't think I am going to go out looking for one.

For Agility: Border Collie, Jack Russell, Australian Cattle Dog

For Pet: Cardigan Welsh Corgi!!!!!

Here are mine:

1) Lab, preferably yellow,, although I do like the other colors and have met some really wonderful blacks and chocolates

2) Greyhound

3) Whippet

4) Great Dane

5) Australian Shepherd

 Okay realistically

1. Papillon- have a hard time seeing myself without one of these little butterflies fluttering about.

2. German Shepherd

3. Border Collie

4. Doberman 

5. Belgium Malinois (Okay that one might be a little unrealistic.  Would really have to find the right breeder who could place the right dog with me) 

Ahhh, dare to dream...

In no particular order:

1. Border Collie

2. Aussie

3. Doberman

4. Vizsla

5. Labrador Retriever

ETA: It appears I've chosen all intelligent high energy breeds...I'm a glutton for punishment I do believe, lol!!
