I can't make up my mind between these breeds!? Dog Breed Discussions
I want to add another dog to my pack and I can't make up my mind as to which breed to get. I have a list that I want, I just can't make my mind up as to which. I'll be in a new house then with a large backyard with my fiance. The house is pretty big and my dogs will all be sharing a room as they do now. I'll be getting the dog in late spring but I want to decide on a breed now so I can look at rescues and breeders thoroughly without having to rush things. Can any owners of these breeds give me some insight into them? Reading articles about them really isn't much insight. I know about them from working with them, but a full-time owner knows more.My list:- German Shepherd- Border Collie- South African BoerboelCurrently I have: - Four year old Labrador, male, neutered- Four year old Cairn/Scottie mix, female, spayed.- Year and a half old Chi/Peke mix, male, neutered.- Eleven month old Chihuahua, male, has an appointment to be neutered.Need to know things: - I'm not stupid with dogs. I worked in a kennel for two years with all different breeds and cared for them. I was raised in a house where we had many different breeds of dogs and I've always been fascinated by them. - My dogs are well behaved. Only the Cairn has an issue with being grumpy occasionally. They aren't aggressive at all with each other and when they meet a new dog, only the Chi/Peke growls a little but gets over it if the dog is in our house. - I'm willing to invest a lot of time and money into a new puppy. (training, etc)- We'll be starting our family in about three years. May or may not be relevant, as the dogs won't be allowed alone with any children ever.Input? Thanks!Dogs are my #1 love in life, hence why I have four. This one will be my last.I know they're a random mix of breeds. I'm leaning towards the German Shepherd and Boerboel though. I want a bigger, more powerful dog.Also, the Chihuahua isn't left to run around freely with the other dogs. He's far too little, so he's crated when I'm not home and when I am, he's with me not the other dogs.And for the person who called me a hoarder, piss off. Four dogs is by no means unmanageable and they're all very well taken care of. Maybe you should look up the definition of a hoarder since you're so ignorant to its meaning. I want a bigger dog as my little ones aren't very good at being scary. I had a strange man come to my door and scare the hell out of me last night. I want another big dog. I weed out the people who give me bad advice. I know some people on here actually know what they're talking about.
