I think about this alot, what breeds do I want in my life(not all at once of course).
I don't think I will ever be without of Doberman Pinscher, infact when I'm older I would love to show/breed/rescue Dobermans.
But throughout my life I would like to have a:
Small Breeds
Maltese
Miniature Pinscher
Papillon
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Shetland Sheepdog
Medium Breeds
Cocker Spaniel
Doberman Pinscher
Weimaraner
Irish Setter
Gordon Setter
Golden Retriever
Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
Samoyed
Staffordshire Bull Terrier
American Staffordshire Terrier
Bull Terrier
American Pit Bull Terrier
Rough Collie
Large Breeds
Saint Bernard
Newfoundland
Komondor
Bernese Mountain Dog
Kuvasz
Afghan Hound
Caucasian Mountain Dog
Great Pyrenees
I know I probably won't all these breeds but they are the ones I'm interested, just to pick out of the groups I would want a Maltese, Miniature Pinscher, American Pit Bull Terrier, Weimaraner, Doberman Pinscher, Caucasian Mountain Dog, Bernese Mountain Dog, Saint Bernard.
So what breeds do you want to own?
-
I almost got a CO but their coat is way to much for me to handle...I am also not as happy with the breeders....I am very happy with my CAO, a close cousin
I am interested in Dogo's, Kangals, Performance type Neo's Boerboels and the thai ridgeback
-
My next dog I would like to get a Landseer Newf. Well....maybe another pyr. I just love big dogs! I don't think I could ever own a small hyper dog. Nothing against them they just have too much energy. I already have a toddler.
-
There are WAY too many breeds that I like to list them all. But I definitely want to get a chinese crested, cane corso, belgian tervuren, brussels griffon, american bullog, chinook, and whatever comes my way.
Some other breeds I have been looking into are the Caucasian Ovtcharka, Karelian Bear Dog, akita, american hairless terrier, portuguese water dog, papillon, olde english bulldogge, tibetan spaniel, kishu, greenland dog, norwegian buhund, finnish lapphund, eurasier, any and all bully breeds, and more that I am forgetting right now.
Some breeds I love, but will probably never get........... ..afghan hound, old english sheepdog, yorkies, bearded collies, english setters, parson russel terriers.
I need at least 4 lifetimes to get all the breeds I want. Since I also want to get mixed breeds, I will never even get close to my list I don't think. Not unless I can get my hands on about 100 acres and make around 500K a year.
-
There's a ton of breeds that I'm interested in for mushing and as a pet:
Canadian Inuit dog (I want to try running a pure one)
Saarloos wolfhound
Alaskan klee kai
Norfolk terrier
Irish wolfhound
Pit bull
McKenzie River Husky
-
There is one breed that i want really bad and thats an Afghan Hound, I have wanted one forever and I WILL get one one day LOL I also like Filas. But I am pretty sure I will always have a Dane and Rottweiler ;D
-
I am interested in Dogo's, Kangals, Performance type Neo's Boerboels and the thai ridgeback
I have met both a Kangal and a Thai Ridgeback. The Kangal was quite aloof, similar to an Anatolian Shepherd, which is to be expected. The Thai Ridgeback was actually very friendly - his name was Leon...  ;D
I like all the bigger dogs, but I do have a special fondness for Bull Terriers (for the smaller guys), Saint Bernards, Newfs, Pyrs, Leonbergers, and I love Tibetan Mastiffs. Â
-
Well...
The next one will probably be a Landseer Newf. A female. However, I also would love to have a Neopolitan Mastiff, Old English Mastiff, a Bull Terrier, (THEY ARE SO COOL!) American Bulldog, and a Bloodhound. hehehe! Not all at once. But, those are my favorites.
As far as the little guys go....I like Norwich Terriers and Chinese Cresteds. Oh, and Boston Terriers.
-
I always wanted a GSD...My whole life that was my favorite breed but when I decided to get my 1st dog & started doing research I was disappointed to find that it probably wasn't a breed that was compatible with us. :( Now that I have lived with & loved Great Pyrenees I will probably always have one...Who knows, maybe one day I will feel up to the challenge of a GSD...If so I will have one!...I also love Hounds!...I have always enjoyed the thought of having a Red Bone Coonhound.
-
I have met 2 thais so far and they were very interesting... I did meet one kangal...there is a lot of controversy around the kangal and anatolian...bu t I like all LGD lol
-
If my house was big enough and my husband was in agreement (or if I could ever "dynamite" him outa here), I'd probably have (yes, all at once) two or three danes and a few Neapolitan Mastiffs (they are big lovable lugs.) I love the Neapolitan Mastiff breed. I had one and he was sooooo lovable, cuddly and kissy face. He loved having his droopy jowls kissed :-* and he loved big hugs. He could get rough for all of 10 minutes of every day and that was it. He had a bit of stubborn streak, but as soon as he saw me reach for my rolled-up newspaper, he became a real pleaser. :D I'd say he was just the sweetest tempered cutie around. Next to Katie and Lady (the Danes I had) he ranked equal love with them. Haha!

I love the Chinese Crested
-
I love the Chinese Crested
They're pretty cute when they're younger, but do they all get as ugly as that one that won the Ugliest Dog contest? That one is downright scary, lol.
-
As for me I want Pyrs, Pyrs and more Pyrs.
-
Kristen,
That's funny that you say that. That is exactly why I decided not to get one. Well, I mean, not that I was SERIOUSLY considering one or anything, but I decided that if I were to get a little dog, it wouldn't be a Crested because they get so darn ugly when they get old. They get like, zits and stuff all over them! YIKES!
-
Great Dane
Newf
St Bernard
Rott
More Mastiffs
No large, medium, small, or extra small for me right now.
-
Kiahyper - what kind of dog is that in the pic you posted?
-
I would love to get a newfie, but I lack the time to devote to a fully coated breed. Thus my short coated, low maintenance breeds. I also think the Chicago summers would be really rough on a newf, especially since I don't live near a dog-friendly swimmable body of water.
Stella
-
Oh a black Newf for sure ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I can't imagine life without a rotti ;)
-
Kiahyper - what kind of dog is that in the pic you posted?
She's my 5 1/2 month old great pyrenees named Kiah. She's the greatest dog in the whole world!! ;D
-
Oh Sure!
Kidding, I love Kiah!
Wished you lived closer, would LUV to teach you to swim!
Tulsa
-
Wish we did too! Kiah needs a friend to play with.
-
Newf {preferably landseer}, another Chocolate lab, and a Clumber Spaniel
^ That's my "I AM GOING TO GET" list... but I have more on my "want" list ;)
-
For my wish and will get list there are two breeds. More boxers, and boerbels.
-
I see in my future...
a smooth coated saint bernard
a blue merle Great Dane
a borzoi
and A LEONBERGER!!!
-
My turn!
*ahem*
Okay-- for the big guys--
Pyrs... I will NEVER ever be without at least one.
Ever.
I'll be old, gray and wobbling around with my even older husband (tee-hee) and we will have a big ball of white fluff drooling in our prune muffins.
Great Dane.-- I'm still gushing, I swear. Last weekend was amazing to meet all the Danes at Life Line and I know that one day I will be adopting one! (that is if we get approved). It may be years from now,but.. definatly.
Neapolitan Mastiff- I'v only met one but I've been in love with the breed ever since. When I was a Vet Tech we had a very big guy that would come in. He had ring worm and at the time the treatment was basically creams and special medicated baths. My heart hurt for the young owner who said she couldn't afford the treatments anymore. She was devistated at the prospect of having to give him up. So when the Docter went on lunch breaks (nice two hours ones!) I would spend mine sneaking in this huge 200lbs guy (not an easy task) and treating him, myself. Then nudging more of the cream into the woman's hand and sending them out the back door.
Newf- I like these guys too, but I think it's my husband who would love one.
Medium Dogs-- I don't know any breeds I'd love, but a good ol'fasion mutt would be awesome.
No wait, I do like Cocker Spaniels, but my husband was bit by one as a child and is dead set against it. (I did change his bias against ferrets, however) Hmmm..
Small Dogs--
JRTs- I would love to have stadert (not pudding), rough coat, tri-color and perhaps with an extra perk of a trump spot. Definatly love JRTs. I will have one, someday!
Westies- Have one! Would get another!
Boston- Have one! Would do it again!
Havaneese- Have one... would do it again!
I guess,in a way,my wish list is expendable. I would just love to have a dog that needs me as much as I need them.
