What Breed is Your Next Dog Going To Be?

When it's time to get another dog, I will most definately get a Great Dane. Not sure if I will get one from a rescue or a breeder.

current short list: doberman, border collie, standard poodle, shar pei, (another) pit bull

if the akc ever decided to open their performance sports up to mixed breeds, i'd go in for a grade a all-american mutt.

standards (poodles) are pretty easy to find in rescue groups.
Most people want the small "cute" ones.

Everytime I look at a rescue site they have a number of standards available

I can't say. I love many breeds but knowing me I'll end up with a dog by chance and it might be a breed I'm not expecting or it may be a mixed breed. I don't know. What happens will happen and I'll know when it does.

Australian Shepherd!! Ahhh it'll be a wonderful day when I finally get one. Though that mostly depends on where I'm living, I mean if I'm in a townhouse or something I'd get a breed that's not as energetic...but as soon as it's possible, definitely an Aussie, lol.

Well I guess it'll really be another boxer, when Molly dies...if we can find an adult at the shelter, I reallyyyyy do *not* want a puppy!

Well my *next* dog will actually be my FIRST dog of my own, and probably won't be for a few year yet but we'll see. It'll be a Newfoundland. I know a great breeder that I have a good relationship with already, and I LOVE her dogs, I can't wait

Edit to add, the dog will be a housepet, but I'd love to get into water rescue, even if it's just for fun not competitive.

i am planning on my next dog to be a kelpie. i want to put it in agility, obediance, fly ball and herding trials.
but that won't be for about 10 years or more. i got my buster for a long time and he'd die of jelousy if i got another dog.

*sigh*...I'm sooo undecided on which breed I'm going to get next. I've had my heart set on a Toller for years and would still really, really love to have one in 2008 as planned. However, I love Belgians almost as much as I do Tollers and have been thinking of getting a Tervuren or Groenendael instead. I'll be living on my own and want a dog that will protect me if need be, instead of bark and hide as Tollers tend to do. I obviously don't want a dog simply for protection. There are many other qualities I love about the Belgians. The security thing is just an added bonus. So, I'll either be getting a Toller or a Belgian for my next dog. Currently I'm really leaning towards a Tervuren and that is probably what I'll end up getting. I just love Tollers so much though, and it's hard deciding between the two breeds. I know I'll still have plenty of Tollers 'down the road' though, even if I don't get one in a couple years as planned.

Like I said above, my next dog will probably be a Terv. My next dog will be a companion, aswell as an agility, SAR, obedience, and RallyO dog. Showing would be an added bonus too, but if I don't end up with a show quality dog, I don't mind at all. The sports and such are more important to me.

yeah that got me. i'd love to have GSPointer or Irish setter or english setter or anyother ACD. but i think i'll go kelpie first.

Our next dog will be another Native American Indian Dog, Toller, or a shelter dog.

I think eventually I would like to get a Smooth Collie. I really think the Collie was the right dog for me. I am really enjoying this dog and she fits into the family perfectly. She's a little bit of the clown, a little bit of the diva. I little bit of the baby, and sooooooooo affectionate. She lights up every room she enters. I'm so glad I took my time and did my research before picking a breed. I was torn between Smooth and Rough, so I think I will eventually have both. But for now, I want to give the attention needed for Tosca to grow and learn.
