What made you choose the breed your dog is?

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Well, before we got Sadie, we had a Yellow Lab, and my dad really likes Labradors!!!!! (So do I, of course!) So, before you got your dog, what made you choose the breed he is? Thanks!!

i did not have a specific breed in mind... i didnt really care, and i owuldnt care if i was to get another, i just want loving furbabies!

Neat ???? Well, first off....I love all animals, I am just partial to goldens because my parents had them and I LOVE their personalities!! I would also, someday, love an apricot toy poodle........anyone have one?? I've gotta do some research, I want a pupper that can go everywhere with me in my bag!

[KayAnn]

Boy, does al;ly have the cutest apricot poodle for you!!!!!

I chose for temprament.....and I couldn't have chosen a better breed! I will always have a Golden Retriever or a Lab, just because I love BIG, loving dogs....but the next one will be a rescue, for sure.

I'm transporting another one tomorrow....long, long drive, but it is for the benefit of a dear friend. He's going from Winston Salem, NC to Dallas, TX....isn't he going to be loved when he gets there????

I'll share pictures when I get them.

Dallas?!?! That's so close to me. Well 3 hours but close enough. Is the last leg filled? I assume it is but if whoever is doing that leg needs any help, let me know!

I chose Graham for temperment. Temperment is everything with me. Not only did I not have a specific breed in mind when I adopted him, but I had no intention of adopting at all...the apartment I was in at the time (this was back when I was in college) had a rule against any animal being in the apartments! I had to hide him from the landlord for a few months

Aly, you are so sweet. The "legs" are from Winston Salem, NC to Hickory, NC, where I will pick up. Hickory to Knoxville, TN, where I will deliver. Knoxville to Memphis, TN. The new owner, from Dallas, will drive the 8 hour trip to Memphis to pick up her new baby. Just wish you or someone like you were closer to get Badger (that's his name) closer to me!! I will have at least 9 hours in the car.....but it is for a good cause. The only negative is that my "children" have to stay home alone......we love our Saturdays!!

[aly]

Awww, I'm sure they'll understand its for a good cause. Maybe you can pick them up some treats on the way Non-edible of course so they can keep their slim figures

Hey, you should just drive on down to Texas!!!! (and bring all your kids, we can have a party!)

Hee, hee, I'm glad I'm not the only one who can post 20 year old pictures.

I chose a cockapoo because I fell in love with a neighbor's dog who was a cock-a-poo. She was the sweetest thing on the earth and I loved her as if she were my own. I am on my third one now and although each of their personalities were quite different, their size has been good for me and I LOVE their curly fur which hardly sheds at all and you can bury your face in its softness.

My other dog I did not choose by breed. At the time he needed a home and there were so many indications that this was the right dog for our family, so I said yes, even though I had never considered a Cocker Spaniel before. Lesson learned...keep an open mind when it comes to selecting a breed.
