What's your dream breed?

[warmfluffytowels]

If work, time and money was no longer an issue and you had unlimited funds and all day to devote to a dog, which breed would you pick and is it any different from the breed you have at the moment?

I have a beagle and much to my husbands' disgust, I'd just have an entire pack of beagles

I've always wanted a red setter, think they're such beautiful dogs but in reality I'll stick with my lovely greyhound. Much easier

Mutts, mutts and more mutts!

Golden Retriever every time

Another Doberman in a heart beat. He was such a gentle soul and bloody gorgeous!

Oooh I have a proper answer too. There's the most stunning looking Doberman who I swoon over whenever we meet on walks. So yeah, a Doberman but only if it's as handsome and friendly as that chap.

Purplecatshopaholic I also have a podenco, mixed with something (golden retriever?). She's a total spoon

I'd love to have an Irish Wolfhound or ten

Leonberger without a doubt.
But live in the Caribbean and wouldn’t be fair on the dog.

Definitely would have more Boxers. I only have 2!

Several Rottweilers. DH is not a dog person, it’s a hard sell .

When I saw your thread title I thought Beagle straight away. Glad you agree!
We had one through my teenage years and beyond and he was such a character with quite a local fan club.
I know they can be -ahem- single minded but I still feel the love whenever I see one.

Single-minded is definitely one word to describe them

I've never met a more affectionate and entertaining breed though!

No particular breed, I’d just have ‘all of the dogs’. 😬

Deerhound.... they’re actually a bit sedate for me really, but, they’re so lovely. Mostly I don’t have one because I don’t have a car big enough, lol.

Smooth collie... I was actually on a waiting list for one, but I was offered a rescue puppy and well, now I have a wee mixed breed rescue...

Rottweiler... I’ve owned one and fostered one, they suit me to a tee tbh, but, mine had health issues, my foster did too and finding a decent breeder seems to be like finding a needle in a haystack and rescue ones that can live with cats are like hens teeth.

I always have Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Once you have one you can never go back to normal dogs! They are amazingly intelligent, agile, odour free, expressive, great sense of humour, non-moulting, non-needy and great guards- also so beautiful. Their only downsides are laziness, greed & disobedience! I am on my third over about 33 years. If I couldn't have a RR I would have an English Bull terrier, fox terrier or JRT.

@Redhound couldn't agree more! I have two, I have loved Ridgeback's my entire life and as far as I am concerned they are the perfect breed,

I'd love a golden retriever, and/or a Bernese Mountain dog.

Medium poodle.

glosbucks you have great taste! I acquired my first kind of by accident but we were hooked after her :)

Rough collie.
We had one when I was a child, and I've had various other wonderful dogs since, but my heart hankers after a collie again and one day I will get one.

Well I have 2 black labs, so I would add a couple of golden retrievers and probably a couple of border terriers for good measure.
And my magic wand would ensure they stayed with me for ever.

Golden Retriever all day long. Grew up with them and have my old boy who we’ve had from a puppy and is now nearly 11.

Another one who loves beagles here!

I've never had a dog and won't be getting one any time soon but would love to have a beagle one day

Saluki (they have such silly ears!) or a schnauzer I think.

@Redhound We've had 2 RRs and there were tiny little spiky brown hairs all over the place. I'm surprised to hear you say yours don't moult. One of ours was bad with kids and one was dog aggressive. We've gone with something different this time around but I miss them!

My ds (18) has wanted a Husky since he was a toddler. We got one last November. He’s now 9 months old and is bloody amazing ( and hairy and greedy and destructive at times ) but we wouldn’t be without him.
This is our boy
