Aussies are great dogs. That's the kind of protection I felt mine would provide if ever needed. They are good at goofing, and can get serious when needed. I was very attached to the one I had to put down last March. She had created a standard I'm unsure any other Aussie can live up to. My current one has decided my husband is her job, and is devoted to him even though he doesn't want her attention. Not sure if I should try again with another some day, or let it be at this point. Hard to top the best.
That's where I am except it's been a few years. Sorry for your loss. I know how it is.
Mine was the best dog ever in so many ways. I'm doubtful another one would measure up and I don't think it would be fair that I'd put another one in the position to be measured like that.
There's times I'd like another but way more times I just feel like I can't or shouldn't. And even if it went wonderful I don't want to go through another loss like that.
Lots of mixed emotions now about that breed and I'm sure you get what I mean.

The losses are getting too hard as I get older. Moving on is hard. I understand that. Some dogs are good dogs, and others are something beyond just a dog. It's partly why I keep looking around at breeds. Hoping to find something else I guess, while thinking nothing will ever be as good as the friends I have lost. Thank you for commiserating with me. I appreciate it.

No problem.
Guess we should go back to talking about Corgis now...

I, too, have sometimes had a hard time moving on. But my job @ a low cost spay neuter clinic has exposed me to lots of dogs - many needing to be adopted.

Maybe you could visit a rescue or shelter & forget about breeds for a bit. You might be surprised which dog you might cater too. But if you don't, that's OK, too.
