I dunno. I always thought I'd get another GSP or small terrier mutt as these are the two I grew up with (they died when I around 13/14).
When my parents were actively looking into a Staffordshire Bull Terrier I was like a bit confused to be honest. But then I looked into them a bit further and decided that YES they are an awesome breed! So I suppose I was extremely influenced by my parents at the time. No other breeds really caught my eye, although I remember my neighbour having the most beautiful ridgie/staffy cross which made me look into both breeds.
I did have a number of breed books as a kids, because I was really into dogs. But none of them sang out to me as dogs I'd actually own beside a small Australian Terrier type (mix of my childhood dog) or a GSP.
I remember thinking Bernese Mountain Dogs were the most beautiful dogs in the world though.
