Would you own your current breed(s) of dog(s) again?

Oh absolutely. Juno is my 2nd boxer - wouldn't have her in the first place if there was any other answer to that question!

A small floofy Lucy-type lap dog? Ahhh maybe in the far future.

There is only one Rosey <3

Probably not. It wouldn't be fair to the dog -- it could never live up to Rosey. Plus, the shedding. Oh god the shedding.

We've always had Labs or herding type dogs.

I would own a Lab again in a heartbeat.

I would also own a herding type dog again...IF it were an English Shepherd. LOL Maybe an Aussie, but it would have to be a pretty good Aussie. I think I'd really like an English Shepherd, because everything I love about Chloe (and Rose, and her momma Brownie) are all English Shepherd traits.

We also had an Alaskan Malamute growing up and I would love to have another dog like her. But, she was fairly atypical for a Malamute (although the same sex dog aggression and food aggression was there, but she was cat friendly, off leash reliable, non destructive, and livestock safe), so I would have to adopt an adult.

Out of my mixes I WILL own a full corgi someday - probably a Cardigan. And I wouldn't be opposed to the right ACD or ACD mix eventually. There's only one Murph though and I really doubt I could find the perfect mix of dogs to make up one of him again. And, while I adore him beyond all measure, the things I look for in a dog have changed considerably since I got him so....I probably wouldn't get either of his supposed parent breeds.

Argon is whippet/basset. I would not own a basset, but a whippet is definitely in the future.

Would I own another coydog? Color me crazy, but probably! Gambit is lots and lots of fun, which makes up for the fact that he's hit the terrible twos and is also lots and lots of PITA right now.

I will never actively seek out a basset, but if the right rescue (read: just like Dais) fell into my lap, I'd be happy.

I will always have Plotts.

To have another English or any other breed of coonhound, it'd have to be a VERY special dog.

I could possibly see myself with a stafford somewhere in the future.I really love the breed, I'm just not sure if they are the breed I want for my next dog considering I'd really like to avoid DA if possible. Other than that, they are wonderful and Id have one in a heartbeat.

An Abby/chi/mutt? Oh goodness no! There can only be one lol. I'll never own a dog quite like her I think.

My GSD is only a puppy but I'm so crazy about her temperament (unlike any pup I've ever had) I'm already thinking of breeders/imports I like for many, many years ahead! So that would be a resounding yes. Maybe as she grows up I'll change my mind, but I've been in love with this breed for so long I sincerely doubt it.
And though Lucy is no longer with me, yes, I will have a chihuahua again, but never ever in a rural area like this again. Only if I live in the city or at least a suburban area.
And Millie. . .Millie is a one and only.

I could very easily see getting another Belgian; not sure which flavor I'd want the next time. It depends on where I am in terms of my health, energy level, commitment to dog-sports, location, and so on when it's time to get another dog.

Another Zobby? Lord help us.

Chows: most definitely. They're the breed I adore. I'll always have two, I think;)

Yorkies: No. No no no. Jules is my second Yorkie. He's single-handedly sworn me off the breed, lol. Love him to pieces, but never again.

Poodle/Chi mix: Being a mix, I dont' know that they'd have Ginger's temperament, so I'd not seek one out purposefully. She's so adorable though and a fabulous little dog, so if there were a rescue mix that looked similar and had a similarly easygoing temperament, we'd give them a second look. She's very elderly (15:eek:) and kind of teetering on a bit senile now, but she was (and still is) a gentle and unflappable dog.

Poodle: Yes. I'd like a Standard next time around, but I love the breed as a whole.

Brussels Griffon: yes. It was a breed we'd always liked, lookswise but hadn't managed to meet one in person. Nog is a gentle and cheerful little dog who fit right in and, having since met several members of the breed, he seems spot on for the breed.

Bassets also go on our list for a "somedaywe'll have one again" dog. My late Basset, Sheba, was adopted and was my Obedience dog. She had her CD and was trained through the Open level (and some Utility exercises), but we had started training late and she had some arthritis by the time we got to that level, so I didn't want to make her jump. She was a gentle and fabulous girl. And, I do love an elderly Basset, lol.

Weird. I was just thinking of starting a thread like this. I'm going to be one of the few "no I wont" s. For the longest, I always thought that pit bulls was the breed for me, but now...

Some of the breed traits I thought I love is now more of an annoyance than anything. I always thought I love the trait " I love everyone!" that is so familar of the pit bull, and while it great most of the time, it can be a real hassel. Just meet Kai a couple of times and now he is loyal to you for life. He really likes a friend of mine who I meet up with twice a week and when he around, I'm not there anymore. God forbid if my friend leaves. He also likes to show off and be lovable to other dog owners. Now I would prefer to have a dog who is indifferent to people.

Pit bulls can also be very pushy with their love. Come home tired after a long day, Kai would push himself on you. If you pay little attention to him, he going to becoming even more demanding. It doesn't matter if you don't want to kiss right now, he is going to shove his tongue in your face. I've tooken care of friend's cocker spaniel, and my family were pretty much indifferent to her. In return, she was indifferent to them, but affectionate to me. She will come up to my parents when they ask her to, but she isn't pushy. I don't mind pushy loving dogs, but Kai never takes to account whether other people want him loving them or not. I call him self-center really, because when he want love he wants it now and doesn't care if you don't want to do it right now!

Not all pit bulls are like this of course, but unless it is an adult rescue, I wont chance getting a pit bull puppy.

Bandit will nudge my hand up to get his big ol' head under it when I am not in the mood to pet him, or slowly melt into me on the couch. He's so sly with it I never even notice.

I am on the fence about Shelties again. I LOVED my Sheltie growing up but the barking might just be enough for me to say no thanks. It's not even the fact they bark a lot. I just HATE Sheltie barks.

Mystery mutt? Absolutely. It's the only type of dog I ever plan on having. I can't see myself ever getting a dog from anywhere but a shelter/rescue.

Yes, both collie and boxer, though I would have to find a really good breeder for a boxer. I was hoping to get another boxer when I was looking for an SD candidate, but I couldn't find a breeder I was happy with.

Yes and no :)
I will always have Ibizan's and Aussies!
We will possibly have another boston eventually.
I don't think i will ever get another pyr, collie or rat terrier..I love all mine dearly, but Pyr's and Collie's shed heavy and even though I don't mind grooming it does take up alot of time and Collie's are very vocal dogs lol! And ratties are just a bit too small for us I think and have such a big dog attitude lol!

I will definitely own more Malinois. I would even take on more with crazy, tweaky, less-than desirable temperaments, but would like at least one with a solid, confident temperament for ring sport some day.

My next dog may very well be a BC though (Solo is a mix of possibly Lab/GSD/BC). If circumstances allow in the near future (either Solo dies or I get a house) I will try out a good friend's BC that is too much for her (long record of biting people) to train for agility.

(Why do I like jerk dogs so much?!) :confused: Lol.
