    Oh whatever happens to come along. I may dream of owning countless different breeds, but usually end up with whichever dog is in need.

    I'll probably still be renting so if I have to have something small it would either be a lhasa apso or cocker spaniel. Probably would look for a senior age dog. Would prefer purebred. Would definately have a long show clip.

    If I had a choice though I'd get a big dog. Rottweiler, komondor, otterhound.

    I've even been thinking of border collies because I would want a dog that can do some sort of activity, but they might be a little beyond my patience for training.

    I'm not sure when I'll be in a position to get my own dog. It could be a year, or it could be quite a few years in the future. There are a lot of different scenarios that could happen, including things I didn't plan for, and a lot of questions that would need to be answered. (is the breed banned? not readily available? Do I have my own home or rent? Do I live at a stable or a regular home? What hours do I work, and do I work at home or somewhere where I can bring my dog? Do I travel a lot? If so, is my dog welcome on my travels? Do I have kids, or a lot of kids around my house/barn? etc, etc.)
    The breeds I can see myself having if the circumstances are right are:
    -dalmatian
    -pit bull/am staff
    -catahoula
    -catahoula/ pit cross
    -rottie
    -doberman
    -brussels griffon
    -and of course the what-the-heck-is-this mutt.

    I could see myself either rescuing or buying, depending on a lot of different things

    My next dog will be another Aussie. I'm crossing my fingers for a female red tri. That won't be until Talon is more mature and I feel ready to go through the puppy thing again.

    SOMEDAY I'd like a Great Dane and another Pit Bull.

    I'm not completely sure what my next dog will be... I've narrowed it down to a Cardigan Welsh Corgi or a Smooth Collie. I love Cardis, but in my experience, they're a bit more sassy/independent and low energy for my taste. Collies seem to be much more eager to please, and I love their personalities and goofiness, as well as their energy.

    It's weird, but I get frustrated by dogs who can't "turn on" at the drop of a hat, and who don't completely worship me. I blame Gonzo.
