Loving all the English Shepherd love going on in this thread. I think they're a pretty awesome breed.
After living with my Sweet Boy, I'm not sure I will every really want anything other than an ES. Hudson is pretty awesome.
1. English Shepherd because....well...he is awesome.
*In no real order*
2. Australian Shepherd. I really like the ones on this board, nothing like the dogs where I grew up. Everyone here seems to have nice, stable dogs. Not like the lunatics back home.
3. Border Collie. I do have a deep, secret love to BCs that are well bred. My mom called me one day to tell me about a BC she had at work that was the nicest dog ever.
4. Papillons. They seem like such happy little dogs with such a zest for life. I need a serious dog and a happy dog.
5. Sighthounds. I know, not a breed, but I love to look at 'Zois, Silkens, LH Whippets and I'd love to have an ex-racer Grey. Love them. Love them so much, but the husband doesn't like the look of sighthounds and at this time we don't have a good place for them to run around of leash and there is nothing more beautiful than a sighthound running.
6. Berger Picard. Had my heart set on one as my next dog, because I do really like them, but it didn't work out. Maybe in the future.
7. Texas Lacey. I don't think I'll ever actually be able to do a Lacey justice, but man did I love Peco. Once we got out of the puppy stage and he stopped chewing everything, he became the perfect dog. Loved his people, protective, super smart.
8. Rottweiler. I adore rotties. I don't know if I'd ever be a good match for them, so I'll just love all the ones I see from afar.
9. GSD. I don't know anything about the types & lines, but grew up with them and I will always have a soft spot for them.
10. Standard poodle. I don't really know about this one, but hey, I reached 10 and I could totally see myself owning one someday.
