Breeds you would like to own but can't

[buttercup132]

I'd like a French Bulldog but they don't do well in hot weather and I'd like a dog who I can play with outside in the summer and take walks with.

Pittie but they are banned here

English Bulldog I couldn't handle the 24/7 hyper and again they can't handle the heat.

Dogue de Bordeaux(I hope I spelt that right!): Extremely gorgeous dogs, but too much dog for me.


Speaking of English Bulldogs, I remember hearing .. I forget where I heard this... that they live less than 9 years on average, which seems pretty young. Do you know if this is true? I've always been curious about that.

Border Collie - so smart but need more mental and physical stimulation that an oldie like me can provide. Jack Russell Terrier - also don't know if I could keep up with the activity level.

The only breed I really like but will never own is a Siberian Husky. They aren't suited to me at all, but they sure are beautiful.

All of the other breeds I like I could own.

A Great Dane.

I am only 4'10".. the thought of me with a dog of that size scares me.

[Suki Wingy]

I get overwhelmed with grooming my cat, so a full large dog would be just too hard, but I like
Poodles (standard)
Old English Sheepdogs
Bouvier des Flandres

I think in the future I could own any of the other breeds that I want.

I would like an American Bulldog but that is a breed with health issues running rampant.

Afghan Hound- I only live in a small 2 bedroom condo at the moment. As soon as I get a house with a backyard I will be geting an Affie.

I've never heard of that but I wouldn't with all their health problems and their breathing problems.

Ohh lucky, I'd like to own one some day too.

Greyhound. Isis (my Siamese) runs away from things that are bothering her and I don't want that to trip the pups prey drive.

My favs are: (in order)
Rottie
Pit
Lab

but with 7 cats I don't think it's really an option for me to get any of them. I guess I'll just settle with cuddling other people's dogs when they bring them to the hospital. Besides that way I don't have to walk them at 3am during a thunderstorm. lol

If you mean cause they might now get along etc that could be wrong. I have 5 (which is close to 7) and when we got the cats we had my rb Thunder and now we have Rockee. Thunder was a big Shepherd/Golden and Rockee a Lab/Pit who actually hated and still hates outside cats.

None, if i want a particular breed then i will own one... or two .

[Husky_mom]

I love many many breeds but out of the ones I personally want to have....

the one most likely to never have is a Borzoi but that´s because you can´t find one locally and importing is way too much $$$.....

others I could own at some point....

I sooooo want a Bull Terrier and a Pom..... besides my all time huskies of course!!

[Flatcoatluver]

Honestly I think most terriers I would not do well with except for mini schnazers. I LOVE bull terriers but I think they are way to much dog for me.

I would love to own a aussie in the future, but at the moment I don't think a aussie is right for me.

Great Pyrenees. Love them, but they really need livestock to work to be truly happy.
