I still want a JRT

For cat rodeos

always wanted a blue heeler. i don't have enough energy anymore.

I'm thinking a Belgian Malnios or a Lab.

I love those two Barry.

I've had a lot of dogs (mostly bird dogs) and I loved em all dearly but I honestly think the best dog I've had in my adult life is my little Cur dog Sally.
Smart, loyal,sleeps on the foot of the bed, trees her own Cats and Coon, and growing up with GSP's she even become about half a bird dog.

Wish my red 15 year old ACD Reba was a pup. Australian Cattle Dog

Very smart dog.

Best flushing and retrieving dog west of the Mississippi.

this guy left an empty spot in my heart.......

buried him last week........

They are all knuckleheads.

The good ones, anyway....... I'd like to have another Great Dane at some point.

While I am rather fond of my GSD, I have been blessed with so many good dogs. No matter the breed of the dog that next enters my life we will have good times.

If anyone say's Rat Terrier, we are long one!

Tikkanut I feel for you. All my losses were personal tragedies. But especially the ones I had to put down myself. Could use a clone of every one I ever had. Would be quite the pack. Hope the big guy with the Gold G on HIS hoodie says I can run with all of them when I'm called back. Maybe the best would be an Australian Shepherd in a red merle. Rusty

Sure hate to hear that!

I'm not far away from having to deal with Buster now. (He's the one on the left in the pic above)

They'll break your heart, for sure. But, the rewards they bring us is incalculable.

Siberian husky.

"Better to have loved, and lost"

Twas looking for a dog with similar coloration that I saw at dog training one night when I found this. Read up on the breed a little, definitely not a common dog around here.

Hungarian Mudi.

As a kid, I had a Vizsla that was like a brother more than a dog. Wouldn't mind having another one of those. Also would like to try those Jagtterriers...hell on paws. I'm really enjoying my girlfriend's Catahoula now; I have her for more than half the year, and she's a good, but different, dog.

that left an empty spot in my heart too, i have a thing about goldies. Three of them under foot right now. The oldest max is almost 12, he is going strong but i worry about him all the time.

Curly Coated Retriever

So sorry for your loss, tikka. I've always admired Goldens but just never got one and now I'm getting a little long in the tooth, so probably won't.

I have had the privilege of having 17 dogs over my lifetime and all have a special place in my memories.

BTW . . . Just cuz . . .I've always had a hankerin' for an Irish Wolfhound.

Interesting Steve,

I'm thinking of getting a dog this year, for birds and small game. My wife and I are dog afficionados and we've discussed a Clumber, especially now that I'm a gentleman of a certain age (and speed )

We're actually thinking something a bit larger though, as we live in the "country" and my wife thinks we could use a larger dog in the yard in case the coyotes or a cat should get the idea they'd like to have one of our whippets for dinner. (saw a good size bobcat mile or so from the house last night on our way to dinner. )

I'm leaning toward a large, versatile breed. Perhaps an Airedale, or something of that size. I'll consider a Dratharr (spelling? ), or another wirehaired breed.

I'm not too partial though, so I'll probably end up with a Lab. And there's nothing wrong with that.

As I told my wife when we first got together.............someday I'd like to have 27 dogs.............coupla labs, coupla sighthounds (large and small), some hounds, a few terriers to keep the vermin down, and a lap dog or three.

Those catahoulas and the blue Laceys might work too. And being of Italian and Irish descent, perhaps a Lagatto Romagnolo, or Spinonni, and an Irish Water Spaniel.

I probably missed a few

tikka,

condolences of course, from us and our pups.
