What breeds would you choose?


ManyMuddyPaws suggested a fun activity for everyone to play. If you had to choose a breed from each of the seven AKC groups of dogs which ones would you choose, the ones you currently own excluded.

My choices are...

Sporting: Golden Retriever-this was the easiest one for me. I've always loved Goldens, but it would have to be a big, blonde, fluffy one-the stereotypical breed standard type

Hound: Whippet-I'm not much of a hound person but these little guys are so cute

Working: Newfie-totally impractical but how can you resist!

Terrier: Probably a Jack Russell-they are so cute and fun, but I think Skye terriers are cute too-I just don't know much about them

Toy-Until recently this would have been a Pom but since they are now on the "breeds I own list" I'd have to say Italian Greyhound-so cute

Non-sporting: This was the toughest one for me as I didn't have much interest in any of them. I finally decided on American Eskimo. I know they can have a reputation for biting but they really can be pretty. I'm sucker for a fluffy dog I guess.

Herding: I'm going against the fluffy theme here. I'd choose an Australian cattle dog. I think they are very striking and also athletic and a good size.

So what would you choose?

Although there are other dog breeds I love, but my next dog would most likely be another Aussie. I would love to get a Border Collie or Boston Terrier someday though!!
