Your top 10

[crazedACD]

My list changes frequently.

Australian Kelpie
ACD
Standard Poodle
Some sort of sighthound. Probably an ex-racer, possibly a whippet or something more rare (Azawakh).
Chinese Crested
English Setter
Yeah, 10 is too many, ummm....
Rough Collie
Coonhound
Manchester Terrier
Cocker Spaniel (I can't believe they made their way onto my list, just barely, but I've so many I've liked. I would only get one from a shelter though.)

I still like all those breeds quite a bit. I don't think I'd ever get an ACD though. The ones I've been around are just not my kind of dog.

My list now. Honestly, after papillon it gets a little jumbled. Number 2-6 really depends on the day. I love all of them pretty equally. After #6, I'm a lot less likely to own them, I think.

1. Papillon
2. Pyrenean Shepherd
3. Border Collie
4. Australian Shepherd
5. Belgian Shepherd (tervuren)
6. Shetland Sheepdog
7. Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
8. Mudi

Eh... I'm running out of possible breeds.

My Top 10 then, in no order

1) German Shepherd Dog
2) Border Collie
3) Beauceron
4) Mudi
5) (not really) Dutch Shepherd
6) American Pit Bull Terrier
7) Papillon
8) (not sure) Doberman Pinscher
9) (not sure) English Shepherd

Last image was deleted on Flickr, so not sure what breed it was!


My Top 10 now, in order. I will probably only ever own the top 3.

1) German Shepherd Dog
2) English Shepherd
3) Long-haired Whippet
4) Beauceron
5) APBT or more likely, a bully type adult rescue
6) Golden Retriever

That's all I can think of for certain, but four other breeds I like (but am not thinking about owning):
7) Australian Cattle Dog
8) Indy (I want to steal her, I love that Dutch Shepherd girl)
9) Border Collie

Really can't think of one more.

Yeah this is sort of how I am and why I only have 4 listed. There are several other breeds I like and I think would be good match...English Shepherds being the most obvious...but given that I can only own so many dogs at once and do right by them, there's realistically only a very few breeds that I will likely own in the near future.

My thoughts as well. Plus, I have always said that I can't see myself with more than 2 dogs at a time, and I will probably always have one of "my" breed (a GSD). I may be open to a 3rd if it is a whippet, but it's a big maybe.

Oh, and I plan for my dogs to live forever. So there's that, too

[Oko]

I shall play!
This will probably get more contrived after five or so, less likely to own more likely to admire, but you never know.

1. Border Collie
2. Pyr Shep
3. English Cocker Spaniel
4. French Bulldog
5. NSDTR
6. APBT
7. Belgian Shepherds
8. Golden Retriever
9. Ibizan Hound
10. JRT

[Laurelin]

If papillons came in about a 30 lb size I don't know if I'd have anything else. Or well... if Mia papillons came in 30 lb sizes I probably wouldn't.

[DJEtzel]

Here's my current top ten, in no particular order.

1. German Shepherd
2. American Staffordshire Terrier
3. Malinois
4. Border Collie
5. Ibizan Hound
6. Kelpie
7. Koolie
8. Cattle Dog
9. Papillon
10. Vizsla

You could just sign me right up for a 30 lb papillon! That's about Lucy sized and I think she's pretty ideal size wise.

[Gypsydals]

I don't have 10. **Note** Only one of the pictures is mine.


1. Dalmatian
