I haven't been totally converted.. =P I LOVE Shelties and will probably get another couple in the future. My heart belongs to herding breeds though.. they're all similar enough in temperments but still have their subtle differences. I'd love to get a Belgian Malinois, Border Collie and Collie in the future.
I was not overly keen on Border Collies before I got Happy, but I am converted, its not a breed you can get bored with owning because they are all so different, totally differnt looks and totally differnt personalitys. I mean I have 2 and they are polar opposites, but they both have the attributes that I LOVE abouts BCs. how do you get bored? they are the best breed ever, and I will always have them, I'm hooked.
No, I wouldn't say as my dogs have converted me. Before I got Tango, I knew I wanted a Toller so she had nothing to do with that (actually, I call her my Border Collie in disguise...lol...she's much more BC than Toller eventhough the breeds are similar). Tango has enforced the fact however that I will always have a high energy, extremely intelligent dog. So she's more influenced me on what sort of personality/temperament I want in a dog instead of converting me to a certain breed. I'll always have atleast one Toller. I would like to have a few more Rottweilers aswell as they're what I've grown up with and always had, I love the breed, I can say that each Rott I've had has converted me to the breed because if I didn't have them, they aren't really a breed I'd have ever considered having. I'm very doubtful that I'll ever have another Doberman (simply because our friend who breeds them is only going to have a couple more litters and she has the nicest Dobes I've ever met...both in appearance and temperament) or another Dachshund (I'm not a small dog person at all, I might have another some day when I'm elderly and maybe won't be able t0 have larger dogs though). All of that being said, I'd also like to have a few other breeds, not sure if I'll get all of them but a few I have in mind are the: Belgian Groenendael, Field Lab and Australian Shepherd.
I was actually looking at the Toller a couple months ago,do you have any pictures of your Toller we all could see?
For the most part my dog has converted myself and hubby.. We have already said that we would love to get another doberman. Maybe a puppy next time through a resuce? Who knows, but we will go through rescues from now on. I would love to have a rott, and a huskey some day.
My husband thought airdales were prissy dogs until we got Jack. Now he thinks he always wants one. As for me, I just want dogs, I don't care what they are! Although after having Pippi, I think I would always like to have a little one to be my "lap dog". And yes I know big dogs can be lap dogs as my 65 lb. Snoopy often is but I really like the smallness of Pipsqueak!
:) MMMM not really.. I love dogs & all animals the same.. I will state that out of my three (two are pure breeds & one is a mix) my mix breed is the best mannered & has no bad habits.. Oh there is one habit she has & that is to try to get her huge body in momma's lap.. :D
I would never want to get another dog that looks like a past dog, thats why I think Mutts are great, you can have 2 with the same breeds in them, but they look nothing alike. So a black lab is out of the question for me. I'm looking for A rottie soon.
They always say Mutts are the best dogs to have.i have always owned mixed dogs until i got out on my own,i think next time around i might go to the shelter they need homes more!!
I certainly would. :)
I want a purebred rottie someday (rescued of course..:)), Jenny is a rottie/lab mix and I love her to death..I would get another hound, Buster is a hound and such a character. I would definately get another lab and of course I'd get a mutt any day. :) but I am more than happy with the dogs I have now..:D
and any dog I get in the future is going to be from a shelter/rescue. :)
also, I do want a pit bull someday. :)
I love my terrors to death but I really don't see myself owning another terrier in the future. I love Rotties, and always want one in my life, I am definately head over heels for the breed ;) As for mutts, (like J man) I always, always will love mutts! They are such a surprise package and I love that aspect and hope to have many more throughout my life. My heart really lies in the herding and sporting groups though.
I think we'll always have a chihuahua, Justin would have a houseful of them if he could. I think Buster converted Justin. I've loved chihuahuas since I was a little girl and my great-grandma had a chihuahua named Midgey.
I would absolutely have another min pin. I liked the breed before I got Charlie though.
I was never too big on pugs until I met Nacey, she absolutely converted me, I'd definitely have another.
I love and adore Bitsy to no end, but I don't think I'll ever have another pom, the hair is a pain.
Nova is a mini-mutt and the best one I know! I'd absolutely have another mutt. I liked mutts before her though.
Im totally hooked on my Border Collies. I have a Toy Poodle but all he does is sleep! Borders come in so many colors, eye colors, coat lenghts, ears up down or in between. I have 3 and want another.
I would like to try
Aussies
Collies rough coated
Berners
Tollers
Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier
Husky
I just like dogs with fur it seems!
