    shepgirl I agree--no drool!

    I love the look of German Shepards.. some day... also I like , I think they are called English sheep dogs, the ones that are big and have alot of long hair! I just think they are adorable looking. I walk alot, so I want a mean looking dog to take with me, maybe next year I can get one. of course I only want the dog to LOOK mean LOL
    I want the dog to be inside, so I would need a bigger house! and to take walking, dog parks etc. it has been over 30 years since I had a (small) dog as a teenager. what will my cats say! LOL

    I've had a nice range in sizes. From...
    Shadow at 95 lbs, Jack 45lbs, Micki and Mini are 20ish lbs, Kyra 10 lbs


    And from my experience, I've found that I like Jack's size the best. He's small enough to be a lag dog and fit lots of places, but he's sturdy enough that we can play rough. And in agility he's just under 20 inches tall so he only jumps 16, which in my opinion is the best class to be in.

    So, I like 'em medium sized!

    Medium to large is what I generally prefer. I have considered getting a smaller dog though since a lot of horse stables hiring for live in training positions will accept small dogs but not any other pets. I like spunk and personality so I like terriers. If I do become more stable and think I'll be staying at that type of job for a while I'll look into getting a brussels griffon.

    I love all dogs.When I get a dog the size would depend on were I lived and how much time I had to excerise my dog.

    Big Dogs all the way. Small dogs are cute but they are too small and most of them seem yappy. I am sure with good training that wouldn't be a problem but big dogs are more fun.

    I would love to have a great dane if I could. Right now my big boy, Blue is plenty of dog though. =)

    I have never had a really large dog, not now or as a child, unless you consider standard poodles large..... I have/had two but they are only in the 50 lb. range. I love to have a dog in my lap and for that reason have tended to stay with smallish dogs. Even thought I love my granddog, Harlee, who is a Swissie and weighs about 95-100 lbs. I can't cuddle with her very well unless I get down on the floor. I will be sticking to small dogs in the future as I am not getting any younger and they are more manageable for me (bathing, etc).
