I am interested in so many breeds. I'd love to have a Pem. Corgi or a Sheltie. I think I'll hold off on another Border Collie for awhile. I've got enough of that in my house for right now. I wouldn't probably get one from a breeder though so whatever dog I fall for in a shelter/rescue is good enough for me.
What breed of dog will you own next?

I did fall in love witht he BC and definetly want one one day (probably after my next dog) but I just have that special place for Kelpies.
I'm wanting to go with a breeder though, 1) I want the puppy faze and 2) I want to avoid DA as much as I can
I don't think I;ll get another dog untill I'm moved out with a few rental references in my background atleast, one dog will be hard enough to rent with, I woudl like to get my own cat maybe next year so then renting will be harder, renting with 3 pets, 2 being workign breed dogs isn't going to be an easy feat when I'm late teens/early 20's so I'm trying to hold off.
I'm also a big fan of koolies, I just love them, and the more I look, the more they fallinto shelters

oh, and when I do get my pug... he will wear a black studded collar and his name will be Rex
I didn't used to like pugs but I've fallen for their personality, they are gorgeous and I'm in love with them now

I always thought my next breed would be another Akita ... then I got one Golden Retriever but wanted 2 dogs — so, I considered & reconsidered & got a 2nd Golden.
I'm thinking my next dog will be another Akita or a Great Dane but I'm hopefully years & years & many more years away from making that decision.

LOL Can't imagine importing a rescue from Australia, and they aren't such common rescue dogs here in the States. Part of the issue I've also learned is that over here, a lot of the Kelpie breeders are breeding them for cattle work rather than sheep, and are turning them more into that personality.
I spoke to one coolie breeder over here, but again, the limited number of breeders (and having no personal connections to them) would likely mean I would feel like I had to compromise on SOMETHING.
We'll see. I'm not ruling out a kelpie, but certainly am considering a BC more than I thought I would. A second dog is at least a year away, as I want to get Meg a little more solid in her agility training. I figure if I get a puppy when she is four or five, it'll be ready to compete when she is seven or eight. Should work out nicely. Plus, that'll give Meg lots of time to train it for me; she's so spectacular in the house and barn, I really want my next dog to benefit from her influence!

Your right Boston, I'd love this fariy land where I can get a puppy and it will magically have good behaviour but I know it will pick up a lot on Buster so I defintly want all his training more solid before I even think of adding another dog, which is exactly why I wouldn't have another dog while I lived here at home.
I'll take Juno, when you get it. No one gets TWO adorable new dogs, that just wouldn't be fair!
I really, really want a black GSD or GSD mix. My friend has one, Peanut, that I ADORE. But I have a feeling we'll be getting another Sibe when we move to a house with a yard (which i'm thinking/hoping will be SOON). My dad keeps saying he wants a male Sibe with blue eyes, and I keep telling him I don't want another big dog until we move (It's hard enough with Holly, because we don't have a fence, and when I let her out it's either for a walk, and she's on a leash, or she's on her tie-out, running around, and I want a FENCE) but I might be able to talk him into a GSD.
Oh, here's Peanut. I may just steal her instead of finding my own:
She's a GSD/Lab.
When I move out, I'm rescuing a Greyhound.

I never thought I would own any other breed of Dog besides a Bully breed (Amstaff, APBT or AB etc...) but finding quality breeders of these breeds that stress sound temperament and sound healthy bodies is hard to find.
I have been helping someone in my family and friend do some research and I am actually thinking my next dog, (which I hope is a long time from now) will be a Rottie, GSD or maybe a Presa. These breeds have bad breeders to but wow they have some real good breeders (at least the Rottie and GSD).

I'm waiting for my brown Newfoundland puppy. I should get her either in 3-4 months, or I will have to wait for the next breeding happening in 5-6 months(so add 8 weeks to that).
I'd like to own a Landseer Newfie soon(don't tell the BF), but I also am excited to get my show Cardigan. Those two breeds I'd like to always have. In the far future, though, I'd like a CAO. When I can handle one
edit- I am also looking forward to rescuing. I'd love a Shar Pei mix.. Or a Catahoula Dog. Or just a large breed rescue. But I won't ignore other rescues. I will start looking for a rescue probably within a year or two.
