Gosh - picking a dog is as personal as
choosing a husband. My mother says that when I was a child I had the AKC
breed book out and claimed that I wanted one of everything, and I've come
pretty close. We often have 5 or 6 dogs at a time, each a different
breed - kept the first husband.
My favorite of all these dogs was a
greyhound. I absolutely loved that dog - she was beautiful,
short-haired, gentle natured, fast on her feet - the best dog
ever!
But our adult daughter has a golden
retriever who has been a terrific no-trouble dog. She's been to a couple
of the rides this season, perfect manners, no barking, another excellent
dog.
Ask me about: standard poodles,
komondor, borzoi, labs, irish setter, tiny poodle, boston terrier, whippet,
weimeraner, australian shepherds, blue heeler, peek-a-poo, chihuahua, doxie
cross, pugs.
Nancy Sturm, still working my way
through that book
I lost my boxer of several years (Ramen) in late July. My plan is to
find a new dog in the spring. I need some ideas for breeds that are really
good around horses, grandkids and traveling to endurance rides. I know any
breed as well as pound dogs can be good but I guess I just need to
hear some success stories! Sure do miss my ole guy so I'm
hoping by spring I'll be ready for someone new.
thanks,
