I have my eyes on a mini poodle out of Finnish lines- absolutely gorgeous heads, structure, coat! Gorgeous!
This dog I would also wish to have the TIME to train in agility and obedience and do some light-hearted competing as well in agility and possibly grooming contests.

I had toys for a while, showed them in conformation and did very well, along with conformation bichons (down to my 2 'old' girls, 5 and 7) and my one obedience/agility minpin old man- who even though he acts young, his pasterns just can't take agility anymore

Once I started a human family, I spayed/neutered several of the bichons and toys, screened homes and placed them under pet contracts.
Sorry, long winded. I do miss the poodles the most- great personalities, so stinkin' cute, so SMART and I could go on

I would love to own a doberman. I had two growing up and they wre the best, most loyal animals ever. I would also like a dane like Dyans, Bubblegum.

What I would really love is to have another chow. And, maybe someday have a chow puppy, so I could raise it properly from the start.

I love scruffy looking JRTs. Are they called rough coated? I'm not sure. I just think they are so cute, but I don't have the home or the lifestyle for one.

I have always wanted a large dog, like a lab, golden, or an airdale.

I would love a big dog, particularly a Golden or a Lab. But I don't think I could provide enough exercise or deal with the shedding of a Golden too well.

Woah, where do I start? lol
I'd love to have a pitty, a Dobe, a Great Dane, another Shih Tzu, a Pharaoh Hound, a teeny Pomeranian, and a blue merle or tri colored Collie. Maybe when Liz is older and I have an actual yard I can get another Collie

I would love to have a great dane and a doberman. I may end up with a pitt after we move (from a shelter)... if it all works out with Bailey.

yay!

I want a German Shepherd someday, and I'll probably get one eventually. But I don't really want to have to deal with any agression problems, I know that kinda depends on the individual dog's temperament. Also I think I'd like to get a Golden Retreiver. There are other dogs that I like, but I'm not sure I need to own any of them [

] And of course I have to have my Lab...crossed with GSD, she's perfect [

There are way too many breeds that I want. If I were really considering getting another dog right now, it would be either a Saluki or Shiba Inu. I love the elegance of the Saluki and the protective attitude of the Shiba. Right now, I have the perfect dogs. Two Parson Russells. I live in an apartment, but my girl is very laid back and would rather sleep on my lap all day than anything else. My boy is a little more work, but the apartment is big enough that they can run as much as they want.

Without a doubt - a smooth collie. I'm a nut for herding dogs, but not so crazy about grooming. My lifestyle right now wouldn't be fair to one though.

I would love to have more pit bulls, however, I don't know if that is feasible. I love pitties, but I love having multiple dogs and doing things as a group too.

Just on appearance and bearing, I'm MAD for Shiba Inu. I combed the Midwest Shiba rescue web site for MONTHS looking...but most did not test well with cats and I have cats now and probably always will.

Also kinda nuts for Kelpies - and I still harbor thoughts that Pofi could be part Kelpie...he's smart as a whip. Course he'd be about the BIGGEST Kelpie ever, but...

I think a Havenese would be great. But for now, I'll keep my dear little April who is the love of my life. [

I actually don't yearn for any particular breed. But, my dream would be to win the lotto and be able to build a rescue facility that is state of the art with heated/cooled kennels, individual runs and the ability to have paid and volunteer staff so that EVERY animal who needs a second chance, who's owners have a baby/move/don't have time, etc, has a loving place to live out their life if a loving forever home can't be found. So that the old guys who's people are tired of waiting for them to die, can have a warm bed and a loving, gentle hand. I'd like to put the local stray centers out of buisness, and be able to put a few select dogs in a few select GOOD HS's, like the one I work with, where they ALWAYS find excellent homes for dogs.........that's my dream dog. Whichever one needs a loving home.

I would expand the belgian theme to add a Schkip, which will likely happen. I would love to own but will never be smart enough: a working Kelpie, wow what a dog.

A dog beyong your means...or dreams?
