If you could be any breed of dog, which breed would you be? I would be a poodle

[debm55]

[bamagal62]

1. I'd be a cavalier.

Because they get everything they want.

[debm55]

3. The are little cuties. Do you have one?

[bamagal62]

10. Yes! I have a tricolor.

This is my second. The one before was a Blenheim. Best dogs ever. The most cat-like dog I could find!😂

[Cronezilla]

14. Me too!

Cavaliers are the sweetest little dogs! They seem to live to please those they love.
I have adored, and been adored by, six CKCSs over the years. Lucky me!
We should hopefully all be as loving... and as beloved... as Cavalier King
Charles Spaniels.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

2. Meaning 'what would I aspire to be', or 'what breed most matches my actual personality'?

[debm55]

5. Hugh, appearance, personality, temperament. anything you please. What dog would you like to be?

It could be a little couch potato, an athletic sporting breed, a working breed. You pick the breed you want to be. Even a mixture of breeds.

4. Bedlington Terrier

(or poodle.)

[debm55]

6. I know a woman that has three. she breeds them. They remind me of lambs .Do you have one?

[elleng]

9. HAD one, actually a few over the years.

My cousin-in-law bred them.

I wanted a poodle to go along with one!

WHERE is your friend the breeder? I'm pet-less now, which is prolly good for me, but my daughter who lives nearby would like a dog, and would LOVE it if I had one (as would her kids.)

[debm55]

11. Outside of Pittsburgh.

[elleng]

16. Thanks.

Would you send me her contact info, via thru DU mail, please.

[PJMcK]

7. Golden Retriever

Loyal and sincere.

That’s my wife’s assessment!

[debm55]

12. They use to be the number one breed, but the labs have taken the spot.

[elleng]

17. True, and beautiful!

[Butterflylady]

34. Absolutely!!!!!!!

Lovable and loyal. Great service dogs also.

[Xoan]

36. +1

[Lochloosa]

8. Ridgeback. One of the most loyal dogs I have ever had.

[debm55]

15. Beautiful dogs and as you said very loyal.

[Lochloosa]

29. I had two Rotts, a brother and sister, come inside my gate one evening. They were not aggressive.

Sam and I were sitting on the front porch enjoying the evening. Before I knew what happened, he took off toward them. The male turned toward him and got a rocket hitting him in the chest. It knocked him over and then he had the Tasmanian Devil on him. Both of
Rotts ran off to get away from him.

Sam trotted back and laid back down at my feet like nothing had ever happened. They are fearless.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. A smiling Samoyed.

[debm55]

18. I have a Eskie. Love both of the smiles. People always ask me if Dolly is a small Samoyed. Hard to

explain that they are not related.

[nocoincidences]

19. Australian Shepherd.

That's the breed I have chosen to be my companion in my adult life. I grew up with my Dad's hunting dogs, English Setters, so I had a bias for freckle-faced dogs, and I fell in love with the Aussie intelligence, energy, bravery, loyalty....

All the qualities I would like to have!

[debm55]

20. My neighbor has one. She carries her stuffy all over the yard. Very nice dog.

[True Dough]

21. This one...

[debm55]

22. Well, do you know the breed? I don't like it when people dye their dogs. It doesn't show the dog's

beautiful natural coat.

[True Dough]

23. It's Wonder Dog!

He's half bloodhound is what I read on the internet, so it can't be wrong. No mention of the other half, so let your imagination go wild.

[debm55]

25. I liked UnderDog better.

[GP6971]

24. Springer Spaniel.

I've had three of them.

[debm55]

28. Did you use for hunting? When we were growing up we had a Brittany Spaniel. Sam was gun shy, so he

became our pet instead of a true hunting dog. I was glad.

[GP6971]

31. Not for hunting. Just as a pet.

My second one was kind of squirrely though. The breed won the 1976 Westminster Dog show and they were over bred. The last one was fine...she passed in 2001.

[Sanity Claws]

26. Boxer

Athletic, handsome, and short hair.
I wouldn't want to be a dog whose fur is trimmed and shaped into funny styles.

[debm55]

30. Ha, ha. Dolly the eskie got a lion cut once. Never again. Another neighbor has a Boxer. At first I

was afraid of her, but she is very gentle and as you said athletic and handsome.

[relayerbob]

27. Beagle

[debm55]

32. We had a beagle once--Barney. He was very friendly and playful. Got out of the yard once and never

came back. I cried for days as I looked for him.

[relayerbob]

54. Oh, that's sad

I've had several. They all escaped at one point or another, and despite my panic, they were always near home, usually sniffing around the neighbor's garbage cans, looking for snacks.

[broiles]

33. Poodle! They are so smart and they live forever.

And they don't shed!

[elleng]

35. and they swim!

[emulatorloo]

37. German Shorthair Pointer, like my baby dog!

Fun-loving, gentle, clownish, active, cuddle monster, loyal.

[ms liberty]

38. A Poodle or a German Shepherd.

Both breeds are super smart, loyal, and fearless dogs that actually think.
Yes, I have always had GSD's and Poodles, lol. Having smart dogs is a joy and a blessing - and a terrifying curse!

[LakeArenal]

39. Good ole mutt from a nice rescue.

[debm55]

49. Yes,

[LakeArenal]

51. We always had Weimaraners which we loved

But now we are old and chose a small rescue dog. Lots of street dogs in CR.

Our rescue is mostly dachshund and chihuahua but he’s the best one.

EVERYONE loves Mailo (Milo). Last week our landlady said he’s the most well adjusted dog ever. And mixed breeds live longer.

[Lifeafter70]

53. This is my answer too

Have three of them and each one is unique.

[Bayard]

40. I've had many different breeds over the years....

Right now, we have two Great Pyrenees, a Scottish Collie, and an ancient Miniature Dachshund.

I think I would like being a Borzoi. I've had one purebred, and one cross-bred (half Pyrenees). Beautiful, super intelligent, SO loving. They lounge around till something catches their interest, then off at Warp 8.

[debm55]

48. Wow,you have a group there.

[Ocelot II]

41. A Norwegian Lundehund. They are double-jointed, and

their feet have at least six fully functioning toes and extra paw pads, an 'elastic neck' that can crane back so the head touches the spine, ears that fold shut, and flexible shoulders that allow forelegs to extend to the side, perpendicular to the body. They were bred to hunt puffins and their eggs on cliffs. It would be fun to be a weird dog. https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/norwegian-lundehund/

[debm55]

47. Beautiful dog.

[Bayard]

52. I knew someone who was working one of these in agility trials

[bottomofthehill]

42. Black Mouth Cur.

Work dog not a show dog.

[debm55]

46. Good

[debm55]

58. What kind of work does it do ---cattle?

[bottomofthehill]

61. Herding, hunting, protecting.

[debm55]

62. Thanks

[bottomofthehill]

63. Great dog to have with kids and family.

Think of ole yeller. Basically a loyal cur dog.

Cur dog info.

[Sneederbunk]

43. Not a dog. I'd rather be a registered Hereford bull.

[yellowdogintexas]

44. Dachshund, either the middle sized or tiny

those dogs are the funniest clowns in the canine world. I think it would be fabulous fun to be someone's pampered Doxie

[debm55]

45. My other neighbor has three-i short hair and two long hair. They are so funny when they chase after

Dolly,

[surrealAmerican]

50. Basenji -

They're bright and active and live life on their own terms ...
... and they speak their own language.

[debm55]

57. Are they the ones with the odd howl? My Shiba Inu had an odd howl

[surrealAmerican]

67. They "yodel" ...

... it's a howl that sort of warbles.

Sometimes it's more warble than howl, sometimes more sonorous.

[debm55]

68. That's what my shiba did

[a kennedy]

55. Have always loved wiener doggies........have had 3 smooth hair, always wanted a wire hair.

[debm55]

60. Wow, you have a crew too. Little cuties

[Different Drummer]

56. I've always favored this breed.

[debm55]

59. How cute. Is it your's?

[Different Drummer]

65. No, just an image I found of one.

[ailsagirl]

64. Standard, miniature, or teacup?

I’d probably be a Chihuahua

[debm55]

66. mini
