.:: Has your dog converted you? ::.

Would you get the same breed of dog again?

Some people dont understand me when I say I love my lab and Jack Russell but I wouldn't get the same breed again, I think I would prefer to go and explore with other breeds, I also dont think I could deal with the same charactaristics of the same breed when my two go, I think it would upset me quite abit.
Does anyone else understand that or is it just me?

Are you planning on getting the same breed as you have or have had in the past?

[Alysser]

Nope, I'm getting a mutt. A purebred MALTESE mutt that is! Of course, she'll have some other breeds in her!

[PinkSunshine]

Definitely. I was in love with yorkies long before I got Bailey (almost 10 years) and can't imagine my life without one know that I know these little lovers... As far as dogue's go, another resounding "Yes!" I knew nothing about the breed prior to my fiance suggesting one when we were looking for a dog, and again, now that I have one in my life, I can't see NOT having one.. Or 2 or 3

I can understand wanting to have other breeds, it's nice to get to know dogs with different charcteristics. But, I have to say, I will always have a corgi! For me corgis are the perfect fit for my personality and I think we are good for each other, but I like other breeds too. Adele is a mutt, well 1/2 greyhound and it's fun guessing what else she might be (we think JRT) and she has a unique personality, so I definately like mutts too. Maybe sometime in the future I will have another breed, though!

My mom probubly wont let us get any other dogs but Boxers But my dad really wants a Manchester Terrier... but if the question is 'WOULD you get the same breed of dog again', it's definetly a YES.

[BC_MoM]

Well, I use to say I'll always have a Border Collie and nothing else.. but hey.. that would get boring! Or at least IMO.

Molly is the first second of a breed we've had in our lives.

[sammy101]

The only purebreds that we've had was a Dalmatian and a Beagle.I would get a Dalmatian again,maybe a Beagle.I want to stick with larger whens for a while.

i will always have a great dane if i can. if a husky is ever offerd to me chances are i'll take it. huskies grow on me more every day.

YES! Labs are the perfect breed for me and I can't see myself not owning one!

I also hope to own another Dachshund one day, and I want many, many more mutts in my life (unfortunately won't happen until I'm out on my own - my parents want Labs and Labs only from now on.)

I do hope to experience many other breeds. A few that come to mind are Great Danes (actually this is a breed that I hope to never live without once I get the first one), Flat Coated Retrievers, Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs, Mastiffs, Collies, and Golden Retrievers (particularly a rescue senior Golden ... there's just something about "old gold" ).

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

No, I wouldn't say as my dogs have converted me. Before I got Tango, I knew I wanted a Toller so she had nothing to do with that (actually, I call her my Border Collie in disguise...lol...she's much more BC than Toller eventhough the breeds are similar). Tango has enforced the fact however that I will always have a high energy, extremely intelligent dog. So she's more influenced me on what sort of personality/temperament I want in a dog instead of converting me to a certain breed. I'll always have atleast one Toller. I would like to have a few more Rottweilers aswell as they're what I've grown up with and always had, I love the breed, I can say that each Rott I've had has converted me to the breed because if I didn't have them, they aren't really a breed I'd have ever considered having. I'm very doubtful that I'll ever have another Doberman (simply because our friend who breeds them is only going to have a couple more litters and she has the nicest Dobes I've ever met...both in appearance and temperament) or another Dachshund (I'm not a small dog person at all, I might have another some day when I'm elderly and maybe won't be able t0 have larger dogs though). All of that being said, I'd also like to have a few other breeds, not sure if I'll get all of them but a few I have in mind are the: Belgian Groenendael, Field Lab and Australian Shepherd.

[Lori Jordan]

I was actually looking at the Toller a couple months ago,do you have any pictures of your Toller we all could see?

[MomToThree]

For the most part my dog has converted myself and hubby.. We have already said that we would love to get another doberman. Maybe a puppy next time through a resuce? Who knows, but we will go through rescues from now on. I would love to have a rott, and a huskey some day.

My husband thought airdales were prissy dogs until we got Jack. Now he thinks he always wants one. As for me, I just want dogs, I don't care what they are! Although after having Pippi, I think I would always like to have a little one to be my "lap dog". And yes I know big dogs can be lap dogs as my 65 lb. Snoopy often is but I really like the smallness of Pipsqueak!

[lvpets2002]

MMMM not really.. I love dogs & all animals the same.. I will state that out of my three (two are pure breeds & one is a mix) my mix breed is the best mannered & has no bad habits.. Oh there is one habit she has & that is to try to get her huge body in momma's lap..

[buttercup132]

Yes Thunder is part German Sheperd and I am starting to really like the breed. Also Rockee is mixed with lab and I like them too the show quality ones(also I like them thanks to .Sara )
