ObedienceGrrl Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Well, I have four now. Two GSDs and two Chinese Cresteds. Both of which I always said I would own. I know that I will ALWAYS have Cresteds. But I know my husband loves labs. And I just adore Irish Wolfhounds. But he and I agree on one thing. We will NEVER get a puppy again. He really, really enjoyed rescuing Tater (who is 8ish years old) and just kept saying how good it felt. So he said that when we are ready to get a lab (which will be YEARS) that we will go to a breed rescue and adopt an older one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abker17 Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 [quote]if, or you may be at this time, considering getting another dog in addition to the ones you already have, what breed would it be ?[/quote] A border collie or a border collie mix. (Preferably mixed to mellow out some of that energy, since some days I just don't have the time to take really long walks.) I currently have a border collie mix and her energy level is just right for me. We did try to adopt another BC but my dog didn't get along with him. If we find the right one though I'd still really like to have another. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devious tricks Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I have Thai Ridgebacks now, but if I could get another breed, I'd definately get a Bernese Mountain Dog. :oops: Don't tell my Thais. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis erectus Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 We'll be adding another dog in a year or two, when our little girl is old enough to understand how to help out with some of the care. Normally I'd just adopt some mutt, but I'll be wanting a guardian dog, so I'm definbately looking at specific breeds. Probably an American Bulldog or maybe a Corso.

imported_Kat Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 No more for now! Kes has the energy of 10 dogs! :o When she matures (probably when shes about 10 years old :roll: ) then I'll consider another one which will of course most likely be another Border collie....i'm a glutton for punishment!. :P Other breeds I would consider would be a hungarian vizsla or an alaskan klee kai.

pyrless Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 i would like a newfie, newfiemom! :wink: anything big and fluffy, a st. benard, berner, tibetan mastiff... If I could ever discipline myself and only have one pet I would get a Caucasian Ovtcharka, which is a large Russian flock guardian. Apparently they are a lot of work and not really good with other animals, but I would take on that challenge. They are gorgeous, too, like Pyrs but with a brown/black coat.

steve Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 seems im gonna have to hold off for another 'child' my ridgeback is developing a certain measure of aggression ..shes hit the 12 month mark...but with carefull care etc, she'll soon conform [for want of a better descriptive word] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrless Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hee hee! You mean, like a Pyr? :roll: I actually went to ThunderHawk's website yesterday (was this who you talked to?) after I posted this, and they do have a lot of temperament similarities to a pyr, but the pyr is softer and more tractable. They are soooo gorgeous though!!!!!!! :iloveyou: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrless Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I know, I like how detailed they are about their breedings and their guarantee and how they make it perfectly clear that this is not the dog for everyone. Flock guardians are similar in temperament, but the Pyr actually has the reputation of being the friendliest. (and keep in mind, compared to a labrador, the pyr is stone cold! :D ) And Pyr owners are in denial, we don't think of it as "lack of obedience", rather "Selective deafness".... 8) The main difference, and it is a big one, is a Pyr will not attack a human threat. They are a lot more likely to just "get in the way". But like they said on the site, if the dog is socialized and trained and knows "good people" from "bad people" you won't have a problem.

Mutt_Lady Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 My next dog will probably be a Welsh Corgi or an English Springer Spaniel. After that, I'd like an Australian Shepherd and a Border Collie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaDogOwner Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 i own mutts and I think they they are the only breed realistcally i would ever own. If I had to have a pedigree dog though I'd have either an alsation, a greyhound, a whippet, a pointer, an english springer, a canaan dog or a border terrier.

Mutt_Lady Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I remembered that I also love the look of the English Cocker Spaniels. They come in the most beautiful colours and I just can't resist! I'm a sucker for a pretty dog. :) I also adore Rough Collies! I just think they are the cutest, prettiest dogs and they also seem very mellow & laid-back. I had a friend who had three and she said that they love to just laze around on the couch. Then, when she wanted to take them herding, it was like they were Border Collies. Guess their herding instinct kicked in! However, by the time I get to Aussies and Border Collies, I don't think I'll be owning anything but them. I'll want every colour Aussie and many BCs. I looove these two breeds. Kat's new BC baby is [i]killin'[/i] me! I want her so bad!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
