Talk of the next breed to adopt us??

[binka_nugget]

Um, not sure how to break this to you. These breeds:
the last selector I took matched me with Belgian Shepherd, Stardard poodle, Golden, Lab, And Collie!
tend to be exactly that!

And these breeds:
I want : Somthing smaller , maybe like a Havanese, or a sheltie, or maybe a Shih tzu, or shiba inu?? Or a Spitz type like a kleekai, or a keeshund.
tend NOT to be.

Which is leaving me rather puzzled as to why you wrote this!
I never get matched with breed that suit my lifestyle.


Just to be sure I was on the right track, I checked the AKC pages for the shiba inu, shih tzu, and confirmed my suspicions.

So now, I am really confused, lol.

I have both Shelties and a Belgian.. If I had a young child, there's not a chance in hell I'd get a Belgian. I wouldn't hesitate to get a Sheltie though. The reason I say this is because Belgians are very, very energetic dogs. They're very needy and require a handler who is *always* on top of things. A Belgian will take full advantage of you without hesitation. Aside from the energy level, temperament is also hit and miss. I got lucky with Keeva. She's a sweet dog but still is very flighty, which makes it hard for her to trust people. There are some awful temperaments out there. There's so much work to be done to the breed.

Shelties, on the other hand, are smaller in size, so there would be less worry about the dog knocking the child down. They're easily content being your average family dog, but are also happy to participate in ANY activity you have in store for them. They're sweet natured and I've seen far fewer Shelties with poor temperaments than I have Belgians. The only thing that would worry me is the herding instinct. But the drive in my Shelties is almost non-existant, while the drive in my Belgian is unreal!

As for my future breeds, I see more Belgians for me. I've really fallen in love with Malinois but would equally love to get one of the other varieties too.. perhaps a Visa puppy My next dog will probably be a Papillon though. I'd like a dog suitable for agility, while taking a bit of a breather from another large breed puppy.

I´ll always be surrounded by huskies... ALWAYS...I want a red and a white, although blacks will haunt me forever

now with a lil Pom too.. I might get another one in the future...

I´d also love to get a Bull terrier (brindle) or a Pitbull (chocolate/white)...

this are my top possible choices...^

this next ones are my in-dreams-only ones.. v

I´d also looooooove to get a Borzoi... but it just ain´t gonna happen... not ONE close to me and very very hard and $$ to have one shipped...

in this "list" also include a standard black poodle... also very hard to find although you get to see the mini´s popping out from every pore in the city.. hehe...

Saluki, Ibizan Hound and Paraoh Hound.. *drools*... same issue as with Borzoi

this other ones are also choices I´d like...

Doberman
Aussie (red merle and/or Tri red merle)
Basenji (brindle)
Greyhound/Whippet
