I have two Border Collies -Shye and River-, four Ragdolls (cat breed)-Makana, Maui, Amaya, and Orion-, two Maine Coon mixes (cat breed)-Marzi and Maddie-, and a Xander (who's supposed to be a Maine Coon mix... and if he is, he's a Ragdoll mix too... Maine coon voice, ragdoll coat type), a Harlequin rabbit-Paisley Q.-, a mini whatever NRA just allowed me to smother with love bunneyhead-Mr. Nibbles-, 4 russian dwarf hammies -Dice, Hamlet, Shoot, and Dang It.. or DI for short- of typing I can't determine and can't photograph cause they don't sit still for a second unless they are completely covered in bedding, and several fish.
I will probably always have a Border.... I was raised with them and I feel a piece is missing without them.
I'm considering Australian Shepherds (HUGE jump I know). I've also thought about an APBT or American Staffordshire but I'd need to research.... all the ones I've known have been sweet, Boxers (had those when I was little before my mom got her Borders), and maybe one of the Huskies or Malamutes, Long Haired Whippet, and Sheltie.
