Well in the past we have had an akita, a dalmation, a gsd, a big fluff butt that was part english sheepdog, and a collie. We have also had smaller dogs mostly beagles as my father is mad for them. When I moved out of my father's it was always big dogs. Our Rb akita Shadow was the last dog I had. We are thinking about getting another dog fairly soon and hubby would like a saint or a bernese. We will have to see what the shelter has at the time. I would like to get a pittie. All depends on the shelter though and the one that steals our hearts.

ETA: I forgot about Sheba my first dog after I moved out of my father's house. She was a dobie. Biggest baby you would ever meet too.
