I'd like to have...

Labrador Retriever (although I've already experienced owning that ^^)
Chesapeake Bay Retriever
Rottweiler
Spanish Mastiff
Central Asian Shepherd
a rescue Pittie
My thoughts haven't changed much. :p

Definitely still want another Lab at some point.
Have my Chessie. ^^
Still want a Rottie.
I would love to have a Spanish Mastiff if I ever fulfill my dream of having a farm and I need a LGD.
Same goes with the CAO - if I ever live in the middle of nowhere and don't have frequent visitors...would live. That is probably on the unrealistic side, however.
And while I wouldn't turn down a rescue Pittie...at this point, I don't know if I'd seek one out.

Other potentials would be a Field Spaniel or a field line English Cocker, if I ever decide a small(ish) dog is a good idea. Or potentially a Stafford, because they're freaking adorable. If I just didn't care so much about the potential DA...

Given my currents interests, my next dogs will likely be Flatcoats and Border Collies. Maybe a Golden Retriever if I ever move away from Flatcoats.

There are others in the maybe-someday list but it all depends on how things go. Life has ways of surprising us.
Ummmm no change :p

Dog bucket list is currently:

Border Collie - Getting one this year.
Belgian Tervuren
NSDTR
English Cocker Spaniel
Pyr Shep
More herding breeds I come across
+ a lot of heinz 57s!
Um, pretty much this sums up everything, More herding breeds I come across = koolie. We can also add French bulldogs, a boy and he will be named Toady. FRENCHOLLIES. Basically I need to have one dog that is not smarter than me hahahha.

Well, Koolies are going to be with me always so that's a given.

Pyr Shep
Australian Kelpie
Border Collie
Catahoula
Saluki
Whippet
Lurcher of some sort
Take Saluki off and replace it with Greyhound. Still like the idea of a Catahoula because I love Boone but I don't know if I'll ever want that much dog. Only time will tell!

Oh and add Golden, not sure if that will ever happen but I have a strong desire to cuddle with one right now.

At this point, I'm pretty content with Finnish Spitz forever LOL.

But other breeds that I could potentially see myself with are:
Norwegian Buhund
Sibe
Maybe a GSD or a BC

Not a very long list hahaha.
Mine like has changed LOL.

Besides Finkies...
-Buhund
-Toller

MAYBE:
-BC
-Sheltie
But either of these would be from specific breeders who I know personally and are friends of mine.

Right now I am pretty in love with the cute, brilliant little Aussie puppy beside me! So my answer might be a bit skewed lol. But honestly I had such a great weekend with a whole crew of adult Aussies, and this puppy and her littermates are so amazing, that right now I would probably be happy if they were all I was ever allowed to own again.

But I want more Tollers too, and maybe a fluffy Belgian someday a long time from now and I still love C/Koolies too. Otherwise, not really a big desire to own anything else in particular. There are some other breeds I think about but who knows if I'd ever actually seek one out.
A year and a bit later, this pretty much still sums up my thoughts haha. Well, almost.

I just want more Aussies. And a Koolie, because having been around one now and seeing others around, they remind me a lot of Aussies (or at least of Journey)... just with pointy ears, a tail, and a 'no grooming needed' coat! My next dog will definitely be either another Aussie or a Koolie. But I know Aussies are my 'must have, can't live without' breed.

Other than those two breeds, again, there are quite a few that I like but at this point I don't want to have high numbers of dogs and so I'll probably just stick with the above two breeds. I might want a Dalmatian someday though and sometimes I still think I want a hairy Belgian at some point. Who knows.

Surprisingly to me, I don't know that I want another Toller anymore. We'll see what happens when Dance is gone one day. I might miss having one around. But I think I've found exactly my type of dog in Aussies and Koolies and would be perfectly happy just to own them forever. I love Dance and I still love Tollers, but mine has been nothing but problems between a less than stellar temperament and now health issues (allergies, digestive issues). Good thing she's super cute.

On occasion I get a fleeting moment of wanting a Doberman from different lines too. I feel like mine aren't really what the breed should be necessarily. But I doubt it'd ever happen because I really don't want to end up with another like my current two (who are both great dogs, but they both have some quirks that I don't prefer).

I would really like to experience owning a:

- Border Collie Yes! They would be my second choice right now (first being another ES)
- Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Yes, probably my first choice if I want to add a smaller dog
- Chihuahua Yes, but probably not for some time
- Whippet Other than a Cav, this is my other small dog option
- Borzoi Beautiful, but probably not for some time if at all
- Flat Coated Retriever Maybe, if I ever venture into retriever land!
- Groenendael or Tervuren Gorgeous but probably not the best fit
- Cardigan Welsh Corgi Yes, one day!
- Collie No, probably not anymore
- Another GSD Yes yes yes!

It's a long list! I better get on it LOL.
My updates responses in blue :) A couple changes but nothing big. I am still incredibly hooked on ESs, but BCs and GSDs are close runner ups and probably the breeds I'm most likely to end up with off the list. If I do add a smaller breed or will likely be a Cav, Whippet or a rescue. The only breed I can think to add to te list would be Koolie, but I don't know of that counts because I kind of have one now!

I'm in the process of choosing NextDog (2-5 years out), and as such I'm not in a place to say "will definitely have" and "maybe someday". :lol-sign: But I'm interested in the following breeds (bolded are high on list):
Border Terrier
Saluki
Whippet
Miniature American Shepherd (say what you will)
Another Dachshund
Patterdale Terrier
Smooth Fox Terrier
Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Swedish Vallhund
German Pinscher
ACD (maybe)
JRT (maybe)
Viszla (sp?)
German Shorthaired Pointer
Schipperke
Brittany (maybe)
Ibizan Hound

Whippet
Greyhound (ex-racer)
JRT
Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Boxer
Rottie
Dobe
Patterdale (preferably smooth)

Wouldn't turn my nose up at any other sighthound or small terrier as long as it's shorthaired, but that's my shortlist. I know for sure that my next dog is going to be a JRT, though.

I'm almost to the point where I could possibly admit that koolies might somewhat theoretically interest me someday.

From my experience the ANCD coat is super low maintenance. Yarrow does blow his coat and shed a LOT but it is only once a year, in the spring. Otherwise, he doesn't shed a hair (literally, zero shedding), and his coat takes care of its self amazingly. I only have to brush him when he's shedding, and I only bathe him when he rolls in something gross (which he does like to do!). He never mats, dirt just dries and rolls off him, I love love love his coat!
This makes me so happy!! :D

My list hasn't changed much. I still really want another Ibizan Hound and I would love to have a well bred hairless xolo. Those two are probably top on my list.

I want another Cricket





At some point I would like: (Including breeds I own or have owned but love)

Ibizan Hound (I think I will always have to have one or two)

Saluki

Greyhound (there's one that comes to my work that I want to steal)

Galgos (want to rescue one though)

Standard Xoloitzcuintli (pining for one SO bad)

Sheltie (prob my top choice pic for my next herding breed)

Papillon

Border Collie

Whippet

Lurcher

Scottish Deerhound (really starting to love scruffy wirey dogs)

Rhodesian Ridgeback

Maybe a (c)(k)oolie

Silken Windhound

Alaskan Noble Companion Dog

Australian Shepherd

Another Mexidog







Josh so far wants:

French Bulldog

APBT

Rhodesian Ridgeback



Not sure what else he wants....



For the most part I've owned multiple herding breeds and realistically will always have at least one in my household.



But... I'm also super into sighthounds if you couldn't tell... so I'm probably always going to have herding breeds and sighthounds lol. Josh and I have seriously been looking into a Rhodesian Ridgeback for his future dog. On one hand I think they would be a really good fit, but on the other hand sometimes I think it may be too much dog for him. I definitely think a French Bulldog is in our future for sure. He obsesses over them anytime he sees a cute one.









Did I mention I want another Cricket? Seriously... she is so beyond perfect for me it's insane!

Squash wants one so he can steal their ball and make them sad and then they can run off into the sunset together smiling.

LOL! There is a small, very very small, part of me that thinks someday I could maybe kinda want a male Koolie. Based on my knowing a total of 2 females and 2 males, I know that the girls are too intense for me. But maybe, sorta, kinda someday if I ever have the want for a high energy, more intense dog...

Probably not. But maybe in like 20 years.

This is hard for me because there are so many breeds that interest me for various reasons.
Here's my attempt at a list. Some are way more likely than others.

-GSD
-Chihuahua (I really, really miss having a chi. I'd really love a LH next time around.)
-Australian shepherd
-English shepherd
-Border Collie
-Belgian Tervuren
-Papillon
-Rottweiler (I miss Rotties, too!)
-Australian Kelpie
-Kooikerhondje (Not likely, but the breed appeals to me so much.)
-LHW
-Fila Brasileiro
-Lundehund

Honestly I've realized I'm not as much of a "breed person" as I thought. There are so many wonderful purebreds that I would love to own (and I seriously need a few of them, lol), but I couldn't ask for more amazing dogs than my mixed girls. <3 I absolutely see myself coming home with rescue mutts in the future, herding mixes especially.

I've become so incredibly boring, LOL
The list has narrowed.
Long Haired Whippet- Will never be without one again. But a well bred one this time.
Regular whippet, but only the perfect breeding.
Border Collie
English Shepard- its a maybe. I"ve met some that were everything I desire, and some that were...not.
