Arghhhh this limits my choice then. Let me see, no pastoral, working or toy Would definitely have to be a Borzois then (Eunice's boys have inspired me)

Well if i couldn't another retriever it would have to be a spaniel, probadly a cocker something nice and small(not sure if they are in the same group sorry)

What a great question / thread !

I have four and a half Pastoral dogs, [ collies and a Lurcher ], so if every Pastoral breed were out I would probably lean mostly toward a Standard Poodle.
Extremely intelligent and courageous dogs, when they are allowed to show and use their brain power that is, when not kept as an accessory / lap dog
Clip would be a neat tidy close clip all over, he or she would not have/need a traditional Working nor Show cut

Other breeds for very strong consideration would be :

Borzois, I love their supreme nobility of character as well as appearance,
Pharoah Hounds, lovely nature and athleticism,
Dobermans, intelligent, keen, usually intensely loyal and playful too.

If I could only choose between small breeds it would have to be, without question, an Affenpinscher - lovely daft looking little muppets, so much character and very bright too, loyal and confident, wonderful little dogs

*Yes Lurchers are Sight Hounds and I do have Sight Hounds in my list but Lurchers are not formally recognised so as he is technically a crossbreed for the purposes of this thread I claim the right to still consider dogs from the Hound group

Great question/thread........ I think i'd either go back to a Dobe or (well maybe and) I'd have a Parsons Jack Russell. that's all your fault Janet!!!!!!! you keep promising that Tobes will visit.. we sit at the ferry port each weekend and he never shows up!!!!!

Tibetan Mastiff or an Australian Cattle Dog (pref)

Ooo I have two pedigree dogs that are both in the 'Working Group' a Dogue De Bordeaux & a Bullmastiff.

If I were to chose another breed it would probably be something out the 'Hound' group such as a Bloodhound or a Rhodesian Ridgeback

I'd have a dachshund as my friends Dacs all think they are big GSDs anyway. Either that or a heinz from rescue.

I have a Cavalier and not much room for a bigger dog. So, as mini Schnauzers are Utility, they would be my first choice. I do love Beagles though and if I could have a bigger dog then - a Dalmation or a Weimaraner.

well i have terrier and i think i would choose a basenji or a pharoah hound they are beautiful looking or lastly an english setter or a doberman

We have a Cavalier (Toy) and Golden Retrievers (Gundog). I think I would choose an Australian Shepherd (Pastoral), a Cairn Terrier (Terrier!) or a Dachshund (Hound).
