What kind of dog would you want for life?

I would choose pibbles.

Hmmm...

Although I LOVE Boxers... they can be a little bit crazy and high energy for me. They need rigorous exercise EVERY day, which isn't best for my busy lifestyle. Luckily my brother is the one who exercises Springen. They are perfect otherwise... goofy personalities and just plain HAPPY. So human-like it amazes me sometimes.

If I could only choose one, I think I would go with Cocker Spaniels. Sam is such an absolute sweetie, he's happy going out on hikes with me or being lazy on the couch for the day. They're adaptable dogs, farm or apartment living. And as long as you go through a reputable breeder or adopt an adult dog from the shelter, you can avoid aggressive dogs that unfortunately has been bred into some of them (by BYBs). They're awesome dogs! And CUTE for sure

Wow... really tough question. I'd have to go with Dachshunds. I absolutely love the breed, and it's one of my heart breeds. But I'm torn, because Beagles are my other heart breed.

No matter what kind, or how many dogs I have in the future, there will always be a Dachshund and a Beagle in my home.

I love all breeds but I can't really decide.. but I would love to have an American Pit Bull Terrier someday.

A Rottie hands down. Their personality, temperament, size, etc just mixes best with mine. I know I'd never want any kind of collie type of dog ever again!!!!! Digi & I clash a lot, doesn't mean I don't love her to death!! We are just a poor match.

I will always have a Belgian Malinois. They're extremely loyal, brave and are psychotic. Whatever they do, they give it their all. They're not for everyone and are definitely not for the faint of heart. They will absolutely take advantage of you if given the chance and are too smart for their own good. They're also lots of fun, athletic, and very fun to train!

As long as I can have a dog again one day I don't think I will mind what breed it is

but if someone were to offer me the dog of my choice it would have to be a border collie.........

[GoldenLover]

Golden Retrievers, of course.
Would you expect anything else out of "GoldenLover" lol
Seriously though, I the breed. I love all of their hair. I love that they love water, because I'm a water baby myself! I love their temperment (even though puppies are hell on wheels because they have so much energy). I still love them. I love that I never have to worry about my dog not getting along with another dog or person- they are so happy-go-lucky and treat everyone as their new best friend. They can always can make me smile.
I went back and forth on what breed I wanted for my second pup. I thought about a bunch of other breeds, but when it came down to it, I knew I wanted another Golden.

I'm not sure if I have responded to this thread or not, but to be honest, I have no idea what breed is the 'right breed' for me! I have yet to discover that one! But I can't wait to find out!

I don't think I could pick just one breed. My top faves are Great Danes and Siberian Huskies.

I think the kind of dog you get would depend on you and yourr living situation. For instance, do you live in a small apartment? or a house? Do you have a big yard? Are you in the city or country? Do you want a big dog in your apt or house? Many points need to be considered. Do you have allergies? Do you want an active dog? Are you active? Do you have children? You wouldnt want to get a little dog and have the children accidentally harm it. If children are around, you would want a dog with a consistently good nature with children.

I have no children, live in the country, and I have a lab mix that was a stray that loves the outdoors and I have a chihuahua terrier inside. Previously I had a mini doxie and a rat terrier, both of whom I adored. The lab mix that came here has a wonderful attitude with everyone as does my chihuahua terrier.

There are MANY dogs to choose from. IMO you need to find one that suits your lifestyle and temperment. Kay in NC
