Other than GSD, your favorite breed of dog?

[Kay]

I'm a big fan of Blue Heelers (Aussie Cattle Dogs). They're workhorse in a smaller dogs body haha. I may actually get one as my next pooch... but I'll always have a GSD in my life

I also really like Siberians, but I don't have time to run 20 miles a day haha. I also heard they have INSANE prey drives and was afraid for my cats...

German Short-haired pointers, and Shiba inus round out my top 5 favourite pooches.

My other half wants a Great Dane or an Irish Wolfhound. He loves how big they are. Personally, I think that's because his parents didn't buy him a pony when he was a child He is sold on GSDs now... once you go German Shepherd... you DON'T go back!

I loved our Belgian Malinois. I also think the Beauceron and Rhodesian Ridgeback are cool.

GSD's are my favorite but next in line are Bouvier's. Ugh...I wish I had a bigger house with more land! LOL

I'll be getting another GSD in the next year, and then I will be rescuing a Pit Bull puppy.

I grew up with American Pit Bull Terriers and work in a rescue and have the most love for the breeds. I love working with GSDs and will always have one or two, but Pits have a love so much stronger than any GSD imo. They're my heart dog.

I've always been fond of chessies--raised and trained them years ago. And akitas, and Rotts. But I've known a couple of Poms that were good guys too.

I've got a soft spot for cavalier king charles spaniels. I know, nothing like the GSD, but my parents always have one (they were my first dog), so I've got a soft spot for them.

After GSDs, i would have to say jack russel terriers. The small dog with the big attitude. Even with two GSDs, my JRT is usually in charge. Always misbehaving, it makes my GSDs worry and pace. They can't understand why he would want to disobey mom!!!!!

My aussie is the best dog i'll ever have.

I almost got a border collie at one point, but having always had a soft spot for GSDs I figured anything i'd wanna do with a BC I could do with a GSD as well and then some. When I was younger I always thought i'd have dobes, they're absolutely beautiful dogs when bred well..but as horrible as I may sound saying this.. I prefer the cropped/docked look and it seems to be a dying practice.

If I ever owned another breed besides a GSD i'd probably try out a malinois, gronendael, or a rescue bully.. it's hard not to love those too.
