If you had a dog as a child, did you choose the same breed as an adult?

I think I'll always have a dachshund. I want to have mutts and addopted dogs some day, but I like doxies so much..... I love their short legs and their big personalities..........

Growing up, we had the most wonderful GSD mix. Bandit was one of the sweetest dogs I've ever encountered and he was smart too. Sadly he got hit by a car when I was 6 and went to the RB. Bandit definately showed me how wonderful GSDs can be. My brother also has had GSD's for as long as I can remember. My mom-in-laws dog is a GSD mix and he's a sweetie too. We might end up taking him now that we have a yard.

My parents have had other dogs too...my dad is really fond of Dobermans and I cant remember a time when we weren't graced by thier presence. I LOVE Dobermans, thier look and personality facinates me. They're a lot of work, especially ones that have been in bad homes but the loyalty and love they give is absolutely AMAZING! Someday I'd like to have a doberman of my own although I'm really close to Max, my parents dobie. I do love that dog!

Dad rescued an Engish Springer spaniel named Odie. He was a good dog and loved my dad to death. He was stubborn though.. I did like Odie a lot but I don't think I'll have any type of spaniel. Dad had a cocker spaniel too, and she was just plain MEAN! I don't think spaniels are my "type" lol

My mom had a basset hound when I was growing up too. I would love to have one of them someday as well. Sadie had a great personality and was so much fun to be around, I'd like to experence that again. Now mom has my dog, a mutt named Twilight (I wish I could have taken her to my apartment when I moved). I LOVE her so darn much! She is one of a kind. I'd take her, but she has become so bonded with my mom, I'd hate to take them away from each other. So, I'm just content to visit every day

John had a pitbull mix growing up and says that he was the nicest dog you'd ever meet. He wants to rescue a pit or a pit mix someday.

I LOVE dogs, especially big dogs. I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and honestly if I met a dog that needed a home, I wouldn't care what breed it was so long as I could give it the best care.

Sorry to ramble
