    YES! Labs are the perfect breed for me and I can't see myself not owning one!

    I also hope to own another Dachshund one day, and I want many, many more mutts in my life (unfortunately won't happen until I'm out on my own - my parents want Labs and Labs only from now on.)

    I do hope to experience many other breeds. A few that come to mind are Great Danes (actually this is a breed that I hope to never live without once I get the first one), Flat Coated Retrievers, Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs, Mastiffs, Collies, and Golden Retrievers (particularly a rescue senior Golden ... there's just something about "old gold" ).

    I think I will get another Cocker when I'm older. I would like a Poodle, it's just I cannot keep up with their fur!! Cocker's are easier to groom because they have straighter hair. I love both my dogs breeds, though!!

    There will probably always be at least one cocker spaniel in my life, but I'd also like to explore other breeds. One of the benefits of adopting older dogs, not in a selfish way, is that you get to experience more dogs. They get a good, loving home that they deserve, but of course they aren't around as long. I personally can't resist the charm of an older dog or cat. I can't help but want to take them all home.

    Don't get me wrong, I love all of my fur babies to death, but I think I would like to get a different breed next time. Of all three of our dogs, none of them have the same breeds in them, and I love that, because they all have such different personalities. I would LOVE to own a Chihuahua someday, and a great dane, or other large dog. I would take just about anything though

    I know I will always have a husky for sure and a aussie in my family!
    Huskies have always been my favorite! I started out with one and now I have 6 of them(and have had other different ones)! .(yes I did plan for that ). And aussies are just an all around fun dog! . Someday though I would like to experience other breeds.

    I'd definitely get another husky. I like seeing all the breeds at the dogpark. Although, I wouldn't mind another rottie mix like my RB Rosie, she was such a sweetie!

    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..

    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.

    YES! I wouldn't trade my Mutt or Pom for the world. Of course, I'll probably have other dogs, plus those breeds in the future.

    I love Border Collies to pieces, and I will hopefully always have at least one! I have yet to meet a dog that is anything like a BC, and there definitely is a huge variety of looks and personalities in the breed. I've yet to find out if Corgi's will convert me - but, probably YES! ^^

    I know I'll never have a dog that is lazy, aloof, or that isn't particularly loyal to their family and will solicit anyone for attention. I really love dogs that are friendly but picky with who they show affection to, because they have the most affection to show to their family and friends... that's exactly how Gonzo is.
