Had a long discussion with Jeromy last night about future dogs. He's pretty particular about what he'll live with, so I figured it was time to get it all out on the table. It was actually very productive
Unfortunately some of my favorites are ruled out (he really dislikes spaniels and most of the sporting group in general, which I love!) but we went through breed websites and made a list of dogs we both like or are interested in learning more about. There are definitely some breeds on there that I already really like. Even though the dogs will be mine, it's important to me that he enjoys living with them too, so this was a big step.
I've got a list of breeds for us to go and meet at the big dog show in February. I'm very excited!
And hey, if he can have his Shiba, I'm sure I can sneak a spaniel in there somewhere.
It just won't be the breed I really get involved in.
Edit: I forgot to add, most of the dogs we both like are either herding or working, but we agreed on a couple of weird ones. Like... Mr. Primitive/Spitz Breeds likes long-haired Chihuahuas. :rofl1: Not "my" breed but I could see us having one around some day. He likes Paps, too!
