The breed of our next dog is currently being discussed.
#1 on the list is a koolie, but I don't know if/how that will happen. Other than that me and my husband have completely different ideas on what we want from a dog. He likes more "cat-like" breeds, were i like my clingy herders with the "I loves my people, I do anything for you!" kind of attitude lol
At this point the only things we can agree on are:
1. MUST be a puppy. This one is a Talon related issue. He is much more accepting of dogs that grow up as a puppy with him. I feel like he could accept an adult dog, but it would be a lot harder and more work. It's still a possibility if we found the perfect dog, just a lot less likely.
2. It's going to be female. We have two males, a female would be a big preference at this point. Again, Talon could get along with a male, but we both feel we'd have more potential for issues. He seems to prefer his girls over all
3. Friendly! This one is our number one goal. After Art who is just neurotic (reactive to new people/dogs/objects -_-) and Talon with his mild dog reactivity, we just want a go everywhere type dog. They are both doing really well with both issues, but we want to sway the outcome in our favor as much as possible by having friendly parents and breeds less predisposed to aggression/reactivity. Of course along with a lot of appropriate socialization and training.
So yeah, breed is up in the air at this point. We are researching ^_^ At this point, whatever breed we chose I just want to have a good plan in place for socialization and have a trainer we are familiar with before we get the puppy.
