It's probably a good thing that pretty much everyone is picking breeds we currently have...at least we like our dogs :) ;)

Oh god I don't know if I could choose one. I feel like there is so many I haven't experienced yet. I mean, Jackson is going to live forever, so I guess my answer is Jackson ;)

If I had to choose between Mals and ACDs, I'd have to go with ACDs currently. I think can be more consistently happy with ACDs as a breed; it would take more work to find the types of Mals I like.

I'm going to have to join the 'cheaters' and say mutts. Even looking at my two current dogs, they couldn't be more different and I couldn't be happier about that.

Even if you ignore temperament/behaviour and just look at aesthetics, I can't say for certain that I have a 'type' that I prefer. I mean, there's a pretty significant difference between a sleek doberman and a burly mastiff, but both are breeds that I'm head-over-heels enamored with.

There's a small handful of breeds I'm certain I want to live with at some point in my life and so many more that I would like to research more for consideration.

I have to say....it's a hard choice for me. I love both breeds I own and want to try many others....but....hands down...I'd choose American Staffordshire Terriers. They can give me what I want to live with on an everyday basis and they can give me a great working dog whereas the GSDs can't give me the balance that I need.

Dutchies or Mals. I mean, one is just a striped Mal pretty much, lol, so that's not cheating.

Close second would be certain lines of Labradorks.

Honestly I think Aussies might be my new breed. This puppy amazes me. We'll see what happens as she grows, but I feel like I finally found the breed/dog I've been looking for. But I couldn't give up my Tollers either. So I am going to cheat and say Aussies and Tollers.

APBTs, but only if I got to pretend that most of the people "in" the breed didn't exist and it really was all about the dogs. ;) Otherwise, I really don't know if there is another breed I'd want to own exclusively for the rest of my life (even though there are a ton of breeds I'd want to own one of, some day, maybe). Guess I'd have a whole lot of research to do.
