    • Gold Top Dog

    1. Which breed is your "heart" breed? Mini Schnauzer.

    2. Conformation or Working "show"? My current breed is a *companion* breed, and doesn't really have much to do with working anymore, but I prefer a *real* terrier with a work ethic, and take part in a variety of sports with them. The best is the balance of both - healthy conformation that allows the breed to excel at the job given to it.

    3. Small breeds or larger breeds? Both, although all mine are small at the moment.

    4. Male or Female? I like both, and prefer to have a combination of both sexes.

    5. On leash or off leash? Depends. Both at different times.

    6. Working breeds or "pet" breeds? I definitely lean towards working.

    7. Long coat or short coat? Short coat.

    8. Fetch or long nap? Both - I like a dog that can go hard when necessary, and relax when necessary.

    9. Family member or beloved pet? Family member.

    10. Dry kibble or canned food? Raw.

    1. Which breed is your "heart" breed?

    2. Conformation or Working "show"?

    Conformation

    3. Small breeds or larger breeds?

    Medium

    4. Male or Female?

    Female

    5. On leash or off leash?

    Given that bully breeds tend to not do well with other dogs; definitley on - unless we are in a controlled environment with known dogs - like agility class. However we only have 1 class where there are no barriers at all between the dog running and the other leashed dogs. My girl is not dog aggressive; but she is very reactive driven by fear and insecurity around other dogs. It looks exactly like dog aggression minus the actual attacking and biting. For those walking their dogs off leash; I would hope that they are trained to not approach other dogs without an invitation. I have had some scary experiences out walking my leashed dog in public, with unleashed dogs running right up to her - while I'm clicking and treating and yelling to the other owner "She's not really good with other dogs, please get your dog"!!!!!! If she were truely dog aggressive vs. merely reactive...we could have had some major problems.

    6. Working breeds or "pet" breeds?

    I have always had dogs as pets. When I got my current dog 4 years ago I started doing formal training, agility & rally obedience; but am not super serious about. Would like to compete and probably will at some point, but I can't see myself driving several hours and hanging around all day at a dog show either.
