    What kind of dog would you want for life?

    If you could only choose one breed of dog to own foeever and never get a new kind of dog, only one certain kind, what kind would that be?

    I could not possibly make that choice! If forced I would say "mutt" as there is an infinite variety in dogs in the world, and they all need love!

    It would probably be the American cocker spaniel. I'll probably always have one in my life, though I do want many other breeds.

    I have to say the one I have ,Koko, since statistics say she will out live me. I will be 70 in March and if I live to the average for today, I have 4 years to go. My father died at 74 and his died at 73. Koko should have at least 9-10 years if she lives the average for either of of the Breeds that contribute to her Gene pool. She is what I would pick even if I was only 20.

    I agree!!! There are way too many breeds to choose from, why not just combine them? Mutts are less prone to health problems, too

    I'm answering your question as you asked it, but keep in mind that I love all dogs, but the breed I love the most and would have again, over and over, is the Golden Retriever. They are the perfect personality and size for me.

    A Beagle, although Mikey is part pug, he's mostly and obviously Beagle. I always had a feeling I'd love beagles and I DO. I just love em. They're anything I could want in a dog.

    It's impossible to choose just one for me. I love both of my current breeds equally, but for different reasons. I can't choose one over the other... one of each (a Toller and a Dobe) is ideal to me at this point in my life. And who knows, at some point I might want to try another breed as well. I like variety.

    Well I'm not sure if I could pick only one. It would be a toss up between a Rottweiler and a Chow.
