Okay, that was a poor name for this blog, but it was all I could think of quickly.

Guess what? I am thinking about getting another dog. Yes… I know there are a ton of reasons why I shouldn’t, but there are also plenty why I should. I am not 100% decided yet, but I thought I would start by narrowing the breed choices over the course of several blogs and then make the decision.

I guess the best place to start is with the breeds themselves… I will list the breeds I would consider (along with a mutt) and try to narrow the choices down while deciding if I am going to do it,

Let’s start with the breeds beginning with A. Here are the ones I would consider…

A
Australian Cattle Dog
– great bread – made semi-famous in the first Mad Max movie. They are pretty active though so will probably not make the next round of cuts.

B
Bassett Hound
– one of the sweetest breeds ever. They are great companion dogs and wonderful around other pets and people.

Beagle
– sure, they are loud at times – but they are a great breed as well. They love to be in large packs, which is one of the motivating factors behind getting a second dog – Littlefoot has been pretty much sleeping all day since losing Sam.

Bernese Mountain Dog
– a wonderful ‘big dog.’ They love to work and enjoy pulling carts and gets along well with other animals. They enjoy people, but bond strongly to one person only.

C
Cardigan Welsh Corgi
– these little guys are even tempered and highly adaptable to different lifestyles. They are suspicious of people they do not know, but are avid mouse catchers.
D-F
none

G
Great Dane
– one of the regal big dogs. The Great Dane is a gentle giant that likes nothing better than lounging with his humans. He is calm and well behaved.

Great Pyrenees
– basically a snow-white St. Bernard. These are another fine breed that loves people and forms deep loving attractions.

H-M
none

N
Newfoundland
– another of the monster-trucks of the dog world. The Newfs loves human interaction and love to swim.

O
none

Pembroke Welsh Corgi
– the other style of Corgi. The Pembroke enjoys travelling, playing games and just about anything as long as his family is nearby.

Q-R
none

S
St. Bernard
– a great companion. Nothing I could write would explain the bond between a Saint and his human. Great dogs.

T-Z
none

There you have it. Ten breeds make the initial cut. From here I will look at things like activity requirements, training needs, health issues, and general compatibility with my lifestyle.
