I have a Rat Terrier that thinks he's the baddest thing on four legs. Every time a Bear hunting epsiode comes on the Outdoor channel, he charges the TV as if he's going to kick that bears butt! LOL Loves standing guard duty and watches out the windows/doors for any other critters or people that don't belong on our property! Chance the wonder terrier!

We almost had a long coat Dachshund the other night, a deputy found it wandering on the I-State and took it to my daughter. Fortunately they found the owner a bit later looking for it at the rest stop. It was a sweet little thing about half grown.

I'll stick with my pure bred Potlickers. I dunno what Spot is but I love him and as I write this he is guarding the BBQ pit from the approach of intruders and pesky felines!

frogman, my 10lb JRT is the same way. A friend has a RT that caught a skunk under his chicken shed. He said the battle went on for quite awhile before the dog(Abby) dragged the skunk out from under the shed.

Thanks Bob. I have had and currently do have a couple very good dogs, but Ingwedog was that one dog of a lifetime�.and I was fortunate enough to realize that throughout her whole life.

I'll stick with my Llewellins. My late Ms. Scarlet, the greatest dog I ever had or hunted behind, for 11 years the reason I drew a breath and my heart beat. Old Cookie... Rocky...100 pounds of nose and love Jenny, still learning but an enthusiastic hunter! [img]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/052_zps4ea1d03e.jpg[/img]

I love dogs and always have but I doubt we'll ever own another one. My wife and I are getting older and accepting the realities of such I honestly don't want to risk leaving a grieving dog behind if we should have to go to a rest home or die. If we were to get another dog most likely it would be a full grown house broke short haired small mixed breed rescue dog or for a pure bred an adult Boston Terrier.

Standard Schnauzer. Doesn't shed. Small enough to be an indoor dog. Smart. And a hunting SOB! They're smart and tough little SOBs, for sure!

For me it's a springer - not too big or too small, comfortable inside or out, lap dog or hunter, always friendly. Our Maggie's past her best years and we lost Chip a year ago today. Our first pair has been gone nearly 15 years, and I'm sure we'll have more. We just can't see any reason to change now.

Joken2 , I'm in the same boat as you . I would love to get another dog , but have been in and out of Hospitals so much in the last few years , that I have about given up on the idea . I'm jealous of all you folks who can plan on a next dog . We always had German Shepherds , Rottweilers , Siberians , etc , but my favorites were the German Shepherds . I really appreciate all the Pictures and the stories behind them !

We have one dog now. I want another and my wife says fine, as long as it doesn't bark, shed, eat or schit. I'm still looking.
