What Dog Breed Do You Want Today!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[MROO]

I want a friendly dog for my next dog

When we adopted Echo, DS' one and only caveat was that he wanted a "Happy Dog." We got that in spades!

I actually kinda like borzois. I like their size, super tall but not too heavy, and I think they are pretty. How is their temperament? I don’t know much about what they were bred for. I kinda wanted one once

They are sighthounds. They were bred to run fast and chase things. So they can be nervous/flighty (maybe not the right terms but when you meet one, you’ll know) and they like exercise but are kind of delicate. Thin skin, hard to sew up. All that i have met have been nice though. Not a common breed. I’ve only met ones bred for show and pet, not any working borzoi. They adapted well to being “couch potatoes” lol.

Oh ok! Yeah I much prefer a tougher high caliber working dog, but I do like the size and looks of borzois!!

Then you need an Irish Wolfhound! I was offered a youngster years ago by a show acquaintance, but turned her down. They just don't live long enough and that would absolutely devastate me.
Weirdly, though, I'd take in a "senior" rescue. There's something deeply satisfying about giving an oldster a soft place to live out their days. I've taken in a 16 yo cat before (Rest in Peace, sweet Harleykins) and currently have a rescue that the former owners swore was only four when they were evicted two years ago. She was every bit of ten. She's ornery, but we love her!

An aussie!!!!!
I could easily be the dog version of a crazy cat lady and have like thirteen Aussies running circles around me. Today my mini was sitting with his little paws all crossed like a gentleman in front of the open yard gate, just sitting, gahhh
My first ever Aussie would've bolted straight through that gate and run down any old lady or frail child who got in her way, and I loved her too. I love anything from good to bad on the Aussie spectrum, they're perfect

Also he recently learned how to parkour run up a fence and hop over it, he doesn't use his special powers for evil though, he just does it when the fam is working outside the fence and he needs to shadow in closer proximity

Checkin' da bunnies

When he was little he used to shake and drool like I was going to give him a treat when I showed him the babies but now he ignores them or peeks at them while I'm working. They can be loose with him and he won't do anything about it.

Awwwww I love Aussies lol
