Growing up, I can remember a mutt of some sort named Beech nut, I've seen baby pictures of myself with a black lab, his name was Trapper, then, the dog of a lifetime, a beagle named Spike, a golden retriever named MacDuff, my mother had a Dalmation named Marino, and of course, my parents still have 16-year-old Max, a mixed breed.

Personally, I've just had the four I have now--beagle mix, labbie mix, rottie, and shiba.
My husband had a malamute growing up, and rotties later on.
