I will probably get a 3rd German Shepherd, I really want female from HGH lines or Aritar Bastet female. Though I wouldn't mind to have a working terrier and have always admired Newfoundlands.

I made the decision a few weeks ago to stop looking into a well-bred, amazing GSD. That is, for now. I would love to do so many different types of training and competing with that dog, but right now I'm simply looking for a loveable companion that I can train in basic obedience and not compete with or title.
As much as I would love a Greyhound (been wanting one for about three years, and was in the process of adopting a retired racer when Alex happened to find her way into my life) but with how rough and playful Alex can be (and the fact that I have a Chihuahua, so it would have to specifically be cat friendly), I don't think a Grey is right for my household. Not right now. So, I've been looking into another 'breed' or mix, rather, that I've always had a place in my heart for - the American Bulldog. Love them, love them, love them. Pits are cute, but let's face it - that bulldog/boxer/pit face all combined into one dog? My kind of pup! And a male, of course. But that's over a year from now in my life, that I will be thinking about getting another. Also, my brother-in-law has been wanting to breed his Doberman Pinscher (the one I've been caring for) and when he moves back, if she is cleared with the vet he probably will. He told me I could have my pick of the litter for free due to all of the care i've given the dog and money i've already spent on her. But I'm still not sure about that one. Anyway - definitely looking for a sturdy mix from the pound or local rescue, or possibly that Dobie pup. But yeah - I will have another GSD too at some point when I'm older and have more money and time to spend on all the training and competing I would like to do!

I really want a Pomeranian (i keep having dreams that my SO gets me one xD), but SO wants either another GSD, aussie or pitbull. I'm fine with all of those, most def, but if I had my way, I'd want a doberman, greyhound or a pom. we'll probably always have a german shepherd though...SO is 100% sold on them =3

Oh yea, not a puppy. I want my next dog to be @ least a year old but young enough to have them around for as long as possible. Like someone said earlier, those giant breeds just don't have a long enough lifespan for me. But I do always want or should I say NEED, a GSD in my life.

I currently ventrued out of the GSD breed... no saying much since it was my first dog on my own, lol, but none the less... I bought a South African Boerboel and so far she is great.
Liek you said, I will probably always have a GSD, at the point I can't see myself ever not having one, but next time it won't be out of a BYB. If/when I venture out again.. I would like to get a doberman or malinois.. not sure if any of you have heard of it but I have grown a liking to the Canis Panther.. mostly because it is a mixture of a few of my favorite breeds (lab, doberman, and great dane) and I have read a lot of good things about them. That being said they are such a new breed that I would be worried about developing health/temperment issues. I'm also into the guard breeds so likely would be another one in that category. I would like to eventually own a smaller dog like a min-pin or a shiba Inu. I have wanted a shibie for a long time, since I was a little girl, but I fell inlove with a GSD and that was that, lol.

One day I would like to get a cardigan welsh corgi. I fell in love with one I met at Rally trials years ago, it was one really cool dog. He was a chocolate merle I think and was just an awesome rally dog.
But - I don't see that happening anytime soon Right now I am content with my GSD's and JRT's and any new dogs I get in the next 5-10 years will be either of those two. I never saw myself as a small dog person - but have really fallen in love with JRT's. |

I love my herding breeds but I'm a little "high maintenanced" out at the moment... so I really just want a nice dog for my next dog
One that likes people and other animals and is just all around "nice."I'm tired of managing situations and households and having our lives basically revolve around our girls. I need a dog that can make me laugh and will be my buddy If HE can do agility or rally that would be great too, but if not, I won't be disappointed!

I will always have multiple German Shepherds and my terriers, JRT's, Cairns and would like to add a Norwich Terrier someday, I don't care how old I get, even when I have to be wheeled up and put on my horse I want my dogs to accompany me on our rides , I love these breeds and will have no others

I grew up with Minature Schnauzers, poodles and border collies. Our first dog as a couple was a GSD/Husky mix. Scarlett is our first PB GSD. We'd like to have two GSD's someday. We need a bigger house and yard, and we'd like to be retired when we have them. I want to be able to take them camping with us.
If we could have a smattering of different dogs, I'd have GSD's and a couple of weiner dogs. I just LOVE them!
