Do you have a particular breed you are in love with?

Shelties! I will always have a Sheltie! They're intensely loyal and so intelligent! They're perfectly happy being a couch potatoe with the family, or spending the weekend herding sheep or getting agility Qs! They're not too small, not too big.. just perfect!

I also am crazy about Malinois. They're not for the faint of heart and require a handler who is ALWAYS on top of things, cause they will push you around (mentally and physically). They NEED to work. I enjoy the challenge with Keeva and have learned a lot about myself as a trainer since living with her.

Dalmatians, they hold a special place in my heart. My friends are good for putting up with hearing "An In Depth History of the Breed with Added Commentary" as well as "What Causes the Particular Health Problems Within the Breed and Why They Still Persist."

Hehe, so far I am the only one who does not have a particular breed that I am head over heels for. =D

*sigh* Maybe someday I will cross paths with one that will change my view completely.

absolutly! I am addictited to Border Collies, whats not to love about a breed that is easy to train, adores its people, is considered the smartest breed and exeles at absolutly everything? lol

Tollers are my number 2 faverite breed..I love them because they remind me a bit of Border Collies lol

I love all dogs and all cats but lately I've been secretly thinking about a BOSTON TERRIER!! I also love pugs and chihuahuas and jack russells. Maybe we will find a dog that is a mix of some of the above breeds to join our family by the end of the summer. A rescue only of course!

**Hellow** · 05-30-2008, 11:28 PM

Pugs and Gerbils!

**Zippy** · 06-03-2008, 08:51 PM

No not really.I do love tabby cats the best so I guess they would be my favorite.

**GiantSchnauzer** · 06-04-2008, 04:59 PM

I can't see myself without a Giant Schnauzer.

I love giant fluffy or wirey breeds. I absolutely love bergamascos and I miss my not so little berg buddy from college, however, I'll probably never have the opportunity to own one.

I'd have to say German Shepherd Dogs are one of my most favorite.

I'd sure like to have a Golden Retriever one day.

Shelties are high on the list also.

I've always loved Newfies,Great Pyrenees and Collies.

Oh, did you say just one?

**Ginger's Mom** · 05-31-2008, 06:24 AM

I voted no. Until I was about 30 I was totally obsessed with Old English Sheepdogs, and I still have stuffed animals, drawings and statutes of them all over the condo. However, once I got my first dog and got out and about meeting and experiencing all of the wonderful breeds and mixes out there I can't say that I have one that I obsess over any more. More like it goes in waves. I will spend all of my time reading about and looking for shiba inus, then the next year it will be pugs, then a year later Tollers, then a year later...well you get the idea.

As most of you know, I adore Huskies and always talk about my RB Stryker. He was a mix of husky, samoyed and shepherd...
Stryker.....

I also adore Golden Retrievers and now I am in love with a new breed called a "sun-devil" (or as her vet calls her...an alabama cottondog)...hehe

**anna_66** · 05-31-2008, 08:40 AM

Of course I love the breeds I have now, but I always want to have a Chow

**kittycats_delight** · 05-31-2008, 09:12 AM

I had to answer yes. I have several dog breeds I love but I think just 3 I am IN LOVE with and they are the American PitBull Terrier, American Staffordshire Bull Terrier and the Akita.

Cats I love them all. Long fur, short fur, curly fur, straight fur even no fur. I am IN LOVE with the Balinese (thanks to Vega), Ragdoll, & Ragamuffin.

I am not a bird person or even small animal person but there are a few I adore.

I love love the African Grey Parrot & the Cockatoo. I adore beyond words ferrets & rats as well.

I think that about covers it.
