There's a pug in my future at some point I'm sure.

Hmm well I have had Noah since he was 8weeks (Newf) and i always wanted one. Recently rescued two st bernards but still i love newfs and the next dog i have WILL be a newf, dont know why its strange

I know I'll always have dallies until I can no longer cope with them...

However - I will also have a different breed I think. I don't think I could ever be without a dal, but I'm pretty sure my next one will be a mini poodle (it really depends on whether I still have Eddy and whether the breeders I would have a pup from have litters planned - as I am now very picky!)

I'VE HAD IN MY LIFETIME...
collies and collie crosses
GSDs
staffies
elkhounds
shibas
Each breed holds a place in my heart but think now having had a shiba(well 2 as of yesterday)I have found that special breed for me.

I've had 5 GSD's
12 collies

and we always have a small breed at the same time.

1 Toy poodle
1 C.K.C.S
1 Shih-Tzu
and now a Pug (wanted one for 50+ years)

...........and now the other half is talking wire-haired JR

Jeanette

I think it's their character, Catrin. Also the fact that they are very vocal....... I love this (although the neighbours might disagree at 5am in the morning) - it's like having three extra "people" to talk to

Bought my 1st Dobermann just over 24yrs ago and have never owned anything else, and probably never will





Mo and the Gang

Always had and always will have pei's, admired them from afar when i was younger, finally got to own one, learnt a huge amount about them and found them very addictive.

They get a bad rap, which alot of is untrue, hated by alot of vets and insurance companies but times have changed and i hope that through my dogs i have educated some people on the breed and proved that if you do it right you can have a very healthy wrinkly clown.

Their personalities are like nothing i've known in a dog and they have some very funny quirks, they are nothing like most people expect them to be.

I tend to stay with the same breed now because i know so much about them and could never be without them. I love alot of other breeds but cant ever see myself owning anything else.

As a child we had:

1 x OES
1 x Boxer
2 x cross breeds

I personally have had:
4 x GSD
1 x Akita
3 x crossbreeds

My husband would have another Akita tomorrow but we have been spoilt by Nala and I don't think that there would be another one that would come close to her so I won't have one.

Although I have seen a few nice GSDs it is hit and miss as to what you are going to get, both conformation and health, as such I will now always have cross breeds - just as much hit and miss but (apart from the so called designer crosses) a fraction of the price

always a rescue and always a russell.

I love jacks - our first was rescued from the neighbours who used to abuse her and the day they nearly killed her was the day we got her.
What a character! Full of love, full of spirit, full of fun and just a little dog who had the heart of a lion. She lived to 18 years old. For me, although I love all dogs, there's no other breed quite like them. They are personality plus.

I also like the fact that within the jack russell type you can get so many variations - so never having to have your next one look exactly like your first. A big bonus - means you don't really compare the next to the last.

Our first was a smooth haired shorty and our second is a long legged rough coated parsons.
Regardless of recognition or not, they are all jacks to me - and I love them
