What kind of dog would you want for life?

[Genny]

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?

[Karen]

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!

[IRescue452]

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.

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.

[cali]

Border Collie no contest.

[Genny]

I'd say a collie!

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

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.

[Casper]

I don't think I can honestly say a particular breed yet. I do know I always want a medium-sized dog capable of long walks/hikes and other physical exercise. Right now Ethan fits that criteria perfectly.

Gosh, this is such a difficult question for me!
I've never owned anything besides Labrador Retrievers. I love them to death, but they are so common, but for a good reason, they are excellent family dogs, and for the most part, have wonderful friendly, goofy temperaments! I think all Labs have a somewhat different personalities, Sadie and Rita are nothing alike, LOL!

I could definitely see myself owning a larger breed, like a Rottweiler. I could also see myself with a Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier, my neighbor has a Wheaton girl (Maggie) and she's so full of life! Wheaton's are very high energy dogs, and need constant exercise! Well, they are Terriers!
I have also found myself to be very fond of Pugs. They have numerous health problems, this breed is basically a mess health wise. They are great little dogs, and I love the fact that they think they are huge. They have such spunky personalities, and I love that in a dog.

Other than that, I'm not completely sure on which breed I will own next, lol!

[Suki Wingy]

It would probably be Dalmatians.

[MonicanHonda]

Dalmatians!!! Oh, they are my heart breed. I love them so much. I have decided that I cannot live one year for the rest of my life without them.

[timberwolflover357]
