Who would care for your dog?

I've talked with my Mom about this. Tipper would probably go back to rescue because she's by far the most adaptable of my bunch, they'd keep Murphy as they've been trying to steal him for years, and Mu would hopefully also stay with them. I've told her that under NO circumstances are any of my dogs to go to my siblings and if they need help I know my rescue would help them out with placement.
This is something that REALLY worries me. I have 4 dogs that would need placed and I honestly don't trust my parents to do it. I think they would try but without me to do all the work my parents would be extremely overwhelmed and I don't think it would be fair on the dogs.
I think my parents would probably keep Taz. A friend would probably love to take Fudge (and she would be the best choice for him as he adores her and she's a fairly active person who also trains a lot.). Scamp I'm not sure about. My parents could keep him but no one apart from me is super attached to him. My sister would probably want to keep him but I'd prefer for him to be anywhere but near her. Aura would have to go to rescue or be rehomed privately. My dad and sister hate her because she's a noisy, active little witch. My mum likes her but expects her to lie still most of the day which isn't happening.

I know my dad would. He would be my first choice. Jackson loves it over at his house, he gets to run around the fenced in yard, swim in the pool, be around his two dogs and my little brother, etc. I'm pretty sure my dad would let him get fat though and not get him enough exercise, but I know he'd be happy and well taken care of (i.e. taken to the vet when needed, etc).
I would never choose to let him stay where we live now (with my mom and stepdad). They are NOT dog people, and would probably forget that he even existed. They do love him and all, but just not the greatest dog owners.
If for some unknown reason my dad did not work, which I don't see why it wouldn't, I do have a few other family members who I know would take good care of him. But honestly? I think he would be so lost without me. My dad says whenever I am gone for a few days, if I go away, he's just not the same and he's constantly looking for me. I'm pretty sure he'd be a wreck. We're very attached.

My mom would. And if for whatever reason that wasn't possible (ie: mom was also gone), the Dobes would go back to their breeder and she would place them in good homes. And Dance, being co-owned, would probably also have to go to her breeder... though I'd much rather that not happen unless it was short term and her breeder could find her a good home, but I'd still rather have her go to somebody I know than a stranger. So in the event that something happens to me, hopefully my mom will still be around so she could have them all since they are just as much hers as they are mine. And any future dog of mine would also either go to her or their breeder if the dog was too much for mom (which is possible considering the breeds I want and what my mom prefers in a dog). To be honest, there is nobody else in my family that I would want to take my dogs. The next best solution would probably be for them to go to a chazzer/a dog board person who knows dogs. Most of the rest of my family is not really doggy enough for me to trust that they'd take care of them they way I'd prefer. I don't even let family dog sit them, lol. Kinda overprotective that way I guess.
I think we would have a major fight on our hands if something happened to me. My girlfriend would want him and he would be fine there as she has 2 dogs he just loves to play with and he loves her. My parents would also want him and he loves them and they spoil him way too much.
I just hope that nothing ever happens to me because he loves everybody, but he loves me the most and he would miss me terribly.

Rocky and Baxter would stay with my parents and sisters (since both my sisters still live at home). If my sisters were living on their own, my middle sister would take Baxter and Rocky would stay with my parents.
If something happened to my whole immediate family, my aunt and uncle in New Jersey would take both of them. I had the same deal with them regarding their dogs when they had them, if anything happened to both of them I would get their dogs.

Provided I was still with the boyfriend, I'd expect him to care for Daisy, and I'm sure he would - everyone loves Daisy 
In a perfect word, he'd hold onto Liz as well, as she's getting older. If that wasn't something he was willing to do, a breeder friend of mine owns & loves sister & I'm sure would be happy to have her.
Rage would go back to her breeder & my good friend.
