Breeds you would like to own but can't

[CountryWolf07]

A Great Dane.

I am only 4'10".. the thought of me with a dog of that size scares me.

[Suki Wingy]

I get overwhelmed with grooming my cat, so a full large dog would be just too hard, but I like
Poodles (standard)
Old English Sheepdogs
Bouvier des Flandres

I think in the future I could own any of the other breeds that I want.

I would like an American Bulldog but that is a breed with health issues running rampant.

Afghan Hound- I only live in a small 2 bedroom condo at the moment. As soon as I get a house with a backyard I will be geting an Affie.

Speaking of English Bulldogs, I remember hearing .. I forget where I heard this... that they live less than 9 years on average, which seems pretty young. Do you know if this is true? I've always been curious about that

I've never heard of that but I wouldn't with all their health problems and their breathing problems.

Ohh lucky, I'd like to own one some day too.

Greyhound. Isis (my Siamese) runs away from things that are bothering her and I don't want that to trip the pups prey drive.

My favs are: (in order)
Rottie
Pit
Lab

but with 7 cats I don't think it's really an option for me to get any of them. I guess I'll just settle with cuddling other people's dogs when they bring them to the hospital. Besides that way I don't have to walk them at 3am during a thunderstorm. lol

If you mean cause they might now get along etc that could be wrong. I have 5 (which is close to 7) and when we got the cats we had my rb Thunder and now we have Rockee. Thunder was a big Shepherd/Golden and Rockee a Lab/Pit who actually hated and still hates outside cats.

Part of it is they wouldn't get along. Bear and Pooky would probably be ok with a dog. Jack is the problem child. When he was still an outside stray he would hide if he even saw a dog walking all the way down the street. I once had been given an unpainted cement statue of a schnauser (sp?) and Jack would no longer go on leash walks in the back yard. When I tried to show him it was cement he would arch up, puff up his fur, growl and hiss. I finally had to get rid of the statue so he would go for walks again. lol

The other part is I have just enough room in the house for me, hubby and the kitties. There simply isn't room for a large dog, and I'd rather any dog I get be a house dog, not an outside dog.
