Yes my dog has. She has always been a bit fearful/wary of people/environments she doesn't know. Although she has gotten better as she aged, with conditioning.

This ^ pretty much! My dog also ignores other people's commands for the most part. She also tends to ignore my husband some of the time because does not reinforce rules and consistently. Yet, I'm almost certain she loves him more then me *dunno.... lol

HA! You've described me to a T! I have had many dogs that I absolutely ADORE but they have been soft enough that I end up resenting them... I need a tough dog with a tough disposition. All of the APBT's/bullies I have met just think I'm pretty hilarious. No matter how loud I am (I think...

That's a breed to think about! I absolutely LOVE the solid coloured GSP's. I actually love most German breeds. I would actually consider a larger size as long as it's not 75+. I'd probably want to stick below 70... I've even considered a Doberman as well.

I have thought about a rat terrier but I've heard they can be fairly soft? Am I mistaken? I have a loud/busy home and I am a fairly aggressive personality (which can come across wrong to some dogs)... I need a dog that isn't overly sensitive or shuts down I get a bit loud/pushy (NO I don't...

That comment about energy is really something coming from a Mal owner... maybe I'll have to reconsider.

HA! Sorry I didn't see your comment. Lots of people saying they are insane so... maybe not lol

Thanks! The sunflower was the one I was leaning towards! :)

No one?

REALLY? Ugh, that's too bad! Have they been quality bred dogs? Or just bybers? Maybe I'll just stick with another pit bull... that's a safe place for me. They are just.... awesome.

Thanks for all of that information krissy! I've always wanted a Greyhound since I was a child so, that breed is definitely on our list of maybes :)

I've just discovered the Soft Coated Wheaten terrier... looks almost exactly what I'm looking for. Now to find a reputable breeder :D I've met a couple and loved their personality but I would like to interact with them more before I make a final decision.

What about ringworm?

I'm getting my dog a biothane collar from dogwalkies.ca and I'm just wondering some suggestions on colour! These are the ones I prefer- sunflower yellow- http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/104515428/sunflower-yellow-34-wide-beta-biothane?ref=shop_home_feat sunny neon yellow-...

Are your greyhounds quite affectionate to you and your family? I don't want a "needy" dog necessarily but I want a dog that wants to be around me/my family.

Thank you guys for all of your suggestions. We have a lot to ponder but we have a few years or ponder it so at least we have time. Going to do plenty of research for the right dog. Ironically we will end up with a barking, shedding, 80 pound mutt from a shelter ;) oh well... we'll love...

I love ferrets <3 Ella is very cute!

My husband and I are more Lab or APBT people. People loving, goofy, intelligent, trainable... I just can't stand the shedding :yikes: although I think I may tolerate it for another Lab in my life! We just prefer a dog with a good off switch in the house, adults over puppies (we both do not...

Am Bully would be a good fit I think... but where to find a good breeder? lol

I've thought that but their propensity towards severe dog aggression is something that I'm not sure I would like to deal with... maybe I'm being too fussy *sigh...
