Irish wolfhounds and "one day I'll have one" dogs

[Helgathehairy]

I'm in love. Was at a garden show thing today and there were two different ones. They were so beautiful and chilled and HUGE. I used to think my golden was big! It's really not practical for me to have one now but really hope to one day.

Any dog on your "one day I'll have one" list?

I'm lucky to already own my dream breed, which is a pyrenean mountain dog, but she's getting on a bit now when she goes to doggy heaven hoping not for a long time yet I'd like to get another but dh has vetoed another giant breed for me. So I'd quite like a pug because I think they look like they're laughing, but I'm wary of the health issues they have. In all honestly we will probably end up with a little cross breed rescue, but I'm going to work on dh for another giant, as I luffs them the most!

My two both mentioned already
Afghan Hound
Italian Spinone

Both completely different but equally gorgeous.

I acquired my dream dog a couple months ago, a show type English Setter. It took a long time and a lot of money but he is just perfect. Setters are the least snappy dogs you could ever meet!

[IsadoraQuagmire]

An endless list, but just before I read this I was Googling photos of Briards and sighing over them.
(When I was 14 I had a boyfriend whose dad had 7 Irish Wolfhounds, it was great fun taking them all for a walk at once)

Just met an entrancing IG thus am. Fell in love all over again.

[EasyToEatTiger]

I'd go for a wolfhound too if they didn't start dying almost as they are grown up.

[LeChien]

One day I'd like an Italian spinone.

stars WHERE do you live??

I forgot Tollers. They're so lovely but I don't think there are any breeders at all in the country I live in.
Would also love a German shephard
I would also love a really golden Golden Retriever, like an American Golden. My boy is really cream coloured.

I just love bog standard mutts. Given the choice of all the pedigrees in the world I'd choose a mutt every time. And the best one in the world is sleeping at my feet at the moment!

[StarsInTheNightSky]

My dogs! I have two Caucasian Ovcharkas, they were my dream dogs and owning them is even more amazing.
Best breed I've ever known with children, so careful, patient and gentle, not at all lumbering or clumsy despite their size. Our two are calm, soppy hearth rugs with DH, DS and I, but will happily roar and rage at bears and mountain lions (we're not in the UK), we've never had better bodyguards.

Newfoundland absolutely love them but not very practical just now

I have a gorgeous Rhodesian ridgeback and am trying to convince DH we need another

[CandyAppleFudge]

Mousmous-I've got 2 of them, they're a lovely breed. Mad as a box of frogs but lovely

[Ilovenannyplum]

Bulldog
Westie DP wants to call him George

[Hoppinggreen]

We proper luffs hm Heni always a bit sad when he goes he but we know he's not ours and his owner is fantastic.
Fingers crossed she's off on holiday soon!!!!

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Rottweiler. I love the look of them, but a little scared I wouldng be in control as they look so powerful. I'm wistful when I come across one being walked.

[NickiFury]

Tervuren or Groenendael Belgian Shepherd.

[hennipenni]

Ooh he looks lovely hopping, I do agility and show my cocker too. A toller would fit right in in a few years time!

[Hoppinggreen]

Hope I manage to post the photo ok.
Here's the gorgeous Toller we babysit

[moosemama]

Bitter Glen of Imaal's are so cute and pretty rare in this country. I love all the Irish terriers - I used to have a Soft Coated Wheaten and she was a real character, but so clever and easy to train.

[Sgtmajormummy]

Thanks for the input villanous and moose, I'll keep on dreaming...

[BitterChocolate]

There's a thread on here where people have put up pictures of their dogs, and one of them is a jackahuahua (jrt Chihuahua cross), and it's the cutest thing ever. I would love one.

I have a Glen of Imaal terrier, and he is great with a lovely temperament but I think I would go smaller next time.

[villainousbroodmare]

Red setter is the least snappy dog on the face of the planet, Sgt Major! Same cannot be said for a Sheltie though!

[mousmous]

dogue de bordeaux
will never happen as allergic and don't have the time to adequately care for a pet

[insanityscatching]

Poodle, I really wanted a poodle when we had Eric who is a poodle cross but dh wasn't keen. Our next dog will be a poodle with a silly haircut I am determined.
