Not a breed that you already have! I would love to own a Borzoi one day but they are just SO big.

Well, Australian Cattle Dog (of course), but lately I've been contemplating an ACD/Border Collie Cross. Maybe even an Australian Kelpie. But the ACD is my heart dog. Makes no difference anyway, there's no way my lord here will allow me to have another dog...... wishful thinking....

ETA: Oh hell, I didn't read the 'not the breed you already have' bit. So, other than an ACD, if I had to have a pedigree, it would be an Australian Kelpie. They are cool dogs.

I love the blue ACDs. They are just too much 'dog' for me. My sheltie is energetic enough!

There are quite a few breeds that I have a soft spot in my heart for...dachshunds, GSDs, French bulldogs, Italian greyhounds, greyhounds, Westies, Samoyeds...the list goes on and on! But if I had to choose my one dream dog, it would definitely be a Siberian husky. I have loved that breed all of my life, but I know they are a handful, and definitely not a breed I could be fully responsible for until I had more dog experience and a bigger house with some yard space. Maybe one day I will have one! They are just so beautiful and magnificent to me. I would definitely be open to rescuing one too, but for right now, my little Louis keeps me happy :smile:



Haha....I have a feeling that's how I'm going to end up too!

Chows shed a lot? I read/heard somewhere that they are non shedding LOL and I have never met one in person. I know shar peis shed like nothing else though.

Same; a Borzoi is my dream dog.

Because they are so big, I'm considering a Silken Windhound, too, since they're kind of like mini-Borzoi. I'm also in love with Italian Greyhounds, Ibizan Hounds, and "classic" Greyhounds. I'm a sucker for tall, lanky things. :p

Besides those, I adore Belgian Malinoises, Catahoulas, Bedlington Terriers, Bull Terriers, Shiba Inus, and Great Danes.

I have a variety of favorites, and when I get a second dog sometime in the next 18 months, I'm going to have a horrible time deciding :| Whatever it is has to be good with cats and small dogs, LOL.

Hmmm, this is a hard one. I LOVE the breed I have (pointers) and it was a very long journey to get my first one.
I would love to have a japanese chin some day. Whippets are also at the top of my list. Although I am very much a sporting dog person. Nothing beats their what can I do for you attitude.

Well, the dogs I have now are definitely my heart dogs... 2 Catahoulas, a Pitty & a cocker/lab mutt. But if I had all the space, time, and love in the world I would love to add a Ridgeback or a Bloodhound to our pack, or both. ;) I hope to have another rottie one day, or a dane. Oh, oh! A standard Xoloitzcuintli is another on my list. I guess the short answer, if I could only have one other breed, would be a bloodhound.

I was trying to think of another dog i would own but I guess if a mini is a loophole this would be it!!! :lol:

If I couldn't have Bt's i'd have another terrier, APBT, or JRT. I can't imagine my life without a terrier tbh, as much as i love other breeds and types of dogs, i can't stay away from them!

maybe just maybe one day a Border Collie.

A big, male Dutch Shepherd with serious drive. I was really considering getting one before I got Rayne, but she has turned out to be just about as much as I can handle in terms of drive and attitude. If I had gotten a Mal.......oh wow. Maybe after I have a couple years of experience, I'll be ready for a true working Dutchie or Mal, but GSDs will always be my heart dogs :smile:

My current dogs are already perfect for me but if I could pick any breed (and be able to get a healthy dog of that breed) I'd go for one of the following:

Brittany
American Staffordshire Terrier
Tamaskan Dog
Chinook
Shetland Sheepdog
English Cocker Spaniel (ha, I found a way to get Cockers on the list)
Doberman Pinscher
Papillon
Dalmatian

If I was going to pick a dog that probably doesn't fit my lifestyle but that I love...

Pharaoh Hound
Chinese Crested (random, yeah)
Russian Toy Terrier
Australian Shepherd
Borzoi

Aren't schnauzers and pinschers very similar? And shelties are definitely an awesome dog, not that I am biased or anything.. :love:

English Cocker, English Springer Spaniel, Rough Collie, English Mastiff, Chow Chow, and the list goes on and on and on!!:lol:

I agree, and all 3 of my dogs was adopted, no longer wanted, only one came from a shelter but the other 2 was given to us because they where no longer wanted.

But if I could have any dog, I alway wanted a St. Bernard but because of the size is the reason why I have never gotten one.

I'd want a Newfoundland. They've got awesome personalities, are HUGE (which I love), lounge around, and are generally just there to please you.

Obviously, reasons for not having one right now are that they're huge, they drool, they shed an ungodly amount, and would eat me out of house and home.

But.

Maybe one day. :)

I plan to have one of every "group" before I die.
