The only breed i will ever own:..... German Shepherd Dog. The intelligence, loyalty, aloofness, grace, majesty, love, friendship and dedication this breed provides, is what kept my love for the breed.
As a child i had a little Spitz, and some mix (Sheep dog/Golden). But it's always GSD that kept my interest. I am completely dedicated!!
Gorgeous Shepherds you have there! They've always been my favorite breed too, ever since I visited a seeing-eye training center back in elementary school... they're just so regal, intelligent, loyal, and so on. Anyway, I own a pure MUTT, but he's clearly part German Shepherd - don'tcha think?
We had a lovely Golden Retriever for almost 14 years. We grew up with her. She has been gone a few years now and I still miss her. She was a wonderful dog and much loved part of the family. I don't know if I'll ever really want another dog.
I have two labrador retrievers, Franklin and Jackson. Growing up I had three chocolate labs, all brothers, named Baxter, Riley, and Sonny. Also, when I was in school, I had a dog for about a year before giving it to my sister and brother-in-law for better living conditions. He was a bulldog named Nicky.
I've had german shepards, terrier mix and sheltie. Currently I have 1 yellow lab, two tri- colored beagles and a dachshund and 4 fosters...1 lemon beagle, on tri-colored and two tri-colored mixes (we think they may actually be coon hound, but they are still babies). So eight is enough for us right now.
Just put my eldest rottie down on 6/18 - severe HD. My other 2 rotties are 7 and 5 years old, a male and female.
I put down my rat terrier on the 20th of this month. Have another male rattie. Also a male cocker.
Have a female and male chihuahua.
All rescues. Have also had beagle / bassett mix, chow, GSD, english mastiff, pomeranian, and lots of mutts. All of my dogs - with the exception of the mastiff - were rescues.
I LOVE Shar-Peis!! I think they are the cutest things! A friend of ours has a "pit bull" (she isn't sure if it's APBT or AmStaff)/ Shar-Pei mix and she is the the most amazing dog! I have to say, after owning our American Pit Bull Terriers I can't see myself owning any other breed, but I wouldn't be able to turn down a Shar-Pei!
**I was going to edit my original post and add a new picture of all of our babies curled up together sleeping, but I guess because I just posted this post, I can't edit my other post so, I'm going to add the picture here!**
ALL of you have lovely dogs!!! Do you do anything with your dogs? Or is your dog a couch potatoe?
I'm not sure if you were talking to anyone in particular, but our dogs are couch potatoes! lol! Well, not really. They are really active so, we take them for a lot of walks, we take them to the beach, we take them to the park and we take them with us when we go see friends and family. I have to say, probably their favorite thing to do is play in the yard with our neighbors (our best friends) children all day! We don't do any of the agility, weight pulling, etc, but we would really like to get them in some kind of agility. When we aren't out of the house though, our dogs are couch potatoes!
