They're pretty friendly, yes. Establishing the breed over there would definitely be interesting

That’s good! I hope they get established here eventually because they really do seem like the perfect little dogs lol

Spoiler

Anybody else have like… 5070603931 breeds they want next or is that just me!?

If it’s not just me, what are some of the breeds you want next? This is just dreaming, at least for me, because I can’t have any more dogs or animals in general right now but yeah.

For me the top contenders are GSP, Brittany, field line Lab or Golden, some sort of spaniel, another bully breed or mix (not sure which one specifically yet but I really like Staffordshire Bull Terriers and Am Bullies), and then Aussie or Border Collie. Also Boston Terrier and a shepherd breed.

Yes I am aware how different all these breeds are. It’s just a dream.

And… GO!

No, it's just you. My family and I haven't had that many breeds but I know what I didn't like about those breeds and that rules out most breeds for me. The Boxers were too big, the Lab mix was too big, too hairy, too stinky, and too injury-prone, the Mastiff mix was much too big and dangerous, the German Shepherd was too big, too hairy, and had too much energy, and all the rescues have been aggressive and/or destructive. That leaves Boston Terrier and Whippet.

Makes sense! Personally I love big dogs!!! Although I’m starting to lean more towards medium/small side. Brew was like 68 lbs last time I weighed him (not very accurately either lol) but should be around 60-65. And he’s the size of like a 30-40 lb dog. Just a lot of muscle (and a bit fat ) so he weighs more. I’m worried he’d hurt a little dog but then again he has played well with a Boston before sooo

To be honest, i do have my weak moments, but overall I agree

I like big dogs too. I still love Boxers - had two of them at one point. I just had a really hard time with them when they were older....and after they died. I know it's weird, but I do think about grave size...

Ahh okay that makes sense!

I worry about having to pick them up if we need to evacuate, and they're not willing to move. I also just prefer petite dogs

Part of why I’m leaning smaller now. Hard moving a 140+ lb Pyr mix that doesn’t want to go LOL
