Although I love Liberty...I don't know if I would seek out another Coton de Tulear. His personality is great: smart as a whip, biddable, trainable, and very athletic, but he's just so LITTLE. After having larger dogs, I am finding that I really appreciate the more durable nature of my big guys. Especially living fairly rurally, I don't have to worry about them as much with yotes/hawks/etc.
German Shepherd: I could definitely see myself with another shepherd, but I don't know that I would go through rescue again. Mammoth is my best buddy, but when I really think objectively about his temperament...eh. I love the way he is with me and my family, but if he weren't old and blind I think we would have dog/dog or Mammoth/stranger conflicts fairly regularly.
I'm sure houlas are more obvious! That will hopefully be my pup as I transition to more independent living!
