Hi everyone! I'm a newbie to this site, but it's great! I'm happy to find a site for animal lovers like me:-) All your responses are just great! I've been wanting to get a dog for a long time, but am waiting since I work such long hours (not to mention my commute is a nightmare here in Silicon Valley). I have several favorite breeds. One of my favorites is the Belgian Tervuren(one of the 4 belgian shepherd breeds). It is such a beautiful dog, and I have been considering a Terv rescue. They are a high energy (herding) dog that would be great for agility and herding as well as search and rescue and police work. Since they are a high energy breed, I am waiting until I can work from home. Another breed I have done a lot of research on and have considered is the greyhound. It was neat to see a lot of people mention the greyhound rescue. There is a rescue down the road from where I live in Gilroy, CA. Any advice about the greyhound rescue? Would they be good in a working home?
But, my first dog love is the American Eskimo. I grew up with an Eskie cross, but she was the sweetest dog ever to live. She was great for my sisters and I growing up. She passed away right before my wedding 2 summers ago. We all miss our Misty.
Ok, ok...how many favorites do I have anyway? We all know that the Sato (slang for mixed breed animal in Puerto Rico-http://www.saveasato.org/)aka the mutt is also a great breed:-)
