Who's Getting A Puppy This Year?

[LaRen616]

So who's getting a puppy this year?

What breed are you going with?

What will it bring your dog total to?

Oooo!!! Me Me Me! =)

GSD. It's a v Eichenluft dog =)

First REAL working dog. All others have been collies! lol

Me! Me! Me! I'm still shopping and in the information gathering process, but I'm really leaning towards getting a Texas Blue Lacy. Really excited about it.....

I'm hoping to but not actually likely to happen until 2013.

Forgot to say it will bring my total dog count to 4. With one being an old dog and one only being half a dog (mini doxie).

I guess you mean in the coming year? (Since "this year" only has just over 30 days left.)

I hope to get an Australian Cattle Dog puppy. (or a cattle dog/Australian Shepherd mix) If I do, it WILL be male and most likely blue as I really prefer blue over red. (MUST be a breed other than a GSD as I have vowed to never again have a male GSD.)

I thought about getting another Catahoula Leopard Dog, but really want something smaller. (Smaller as in medium sized {30 to 50 lbs} not small or toy sized.) Wrangler was 19 inches tall and 35 lbs and I really like that size.


If I get a puppy, it will bring my total to 2.

I'm hoping to get another Lancashire Heeler this year. I just this morning got an email from a breeder in Sweden who is hoping for a litter in late spring. The bloodlines are what I have been looking for, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I will have to fly over and get the pup as most of the breeders won't just ship a pup. Fine with me .
This will bring my total dogs to 12. Since we have 12 acres here, I guess that makes it one per acre .

Annette,

Is there anyone that you know of in the U.S. that breeds them?

There are a handful of breeders in the U.S. and a few more in Canada. All of their stock is from the same stock as my male (either dam's or sire's side) so no one in the states is producing anything that I can use as a foundation girl. There is a really nice litter in Austin TX, the sire is totally outside of my boy's lines, but the dam is a first cousin to my male so grrrrr.
The breeder I got my boy from is in Washington state, but has scaled back her breeding (she has an ill parent that needs her attention). There is another person in Oregon, but her stock is all from the breeder I got my boy from so that's a no go.
At last count there are around 90 Lanchashire Heelers all told in the U.S. registered with FSS, but that is total so some of those have passed away.

I will prevail!

We'll be bringing home a GSD in January. That will bring the dog total to 2.
