| Dog breeds you think you'll try in the future I have a few breeds in mind for the future but I am not sure I'd want them anytime soon... at least while Jackson is still here. So I'm talking 15 or more years down the road for some of these. Mastiff- I could see myself with a Mastiff when I'm maybe not as active or into traveling, doing dog sports, and being really active in general with my dog, but just wanting a companion/protector who would enjoy evening walks, or even when I have a family. I would not mind the extensive training or socialization that, I think, should come along with the breed at all. But lately I've been really into Mastiff's but I just know they would NOT fit my current lifestyle at all. American Kennel Club - Mastiff Pugs- I think they are so fun! But again, I am not sure it'd be what I'm looking for currently in my life. I think they would be a great breed when I have a family someday and just want a friendly dog who will love everyone and not need a ton of exercise (but I'd be willing to give it of course too but didn't NEED it so much). I just think they are so loveable and comical. American Kennel Club - Pug German Shepherd- I had one growing up and unfortunately we got her from a bad place, plus her lack of training/socialization, and exercise, she ended up hating strangers. But she was an amazing family dog and really the first dog I truly bonded with. I still have fond memories of her. I'd really love a go at a well bred well trained GSD again someday but again, not currently in my life would they be a great fit. I'd wait until I was more settled. Now, breeds that I probably WOULD own with Jackson and in more current... maybe within the next 3 years or so. Border Collie- I've been so intrigued by them lately but I really need to meet more to get a real feel for them. But since I am so active and enjoy doing things with my dogs, I think they would be a good fit. Plus I think they are gorgeous. I like their size too, not TOO huge, but not too small either. American Kennel Club - Border Collie Papillon- I think they are adorable, lively, smart, and so fast paced which I love in a dog. But I am not sure if our personalities would mesh yet, again I'd have to meet more of them. American Kennel Club - Papillon Westie- I've always had a soft spot for Westies. Actually Jackson kind of reminds me of a lot of the Westie's I've met in personality so I really think I'd love them. I attend some of the Westie meet ups they have at our dog park by pure accident and I always love seeing a park full of them. American Kennel Club - West Highland White Terrier But really... I like having 'matching' dogs, Ha!! So I think my second will most likely be a Silky since they look/act so much like Jackson and I just can't let my heart pull me away from getting a Silky as my second dog. So that will probably end up happening... and then maybe one day down the road I can get two other matching dogs and have two pairs, aka 4 dogs (this is wayyy down the road!! ) Bored tonight... so, guys, do you have any breeds you'd like to try out?

| Chihuahua: fawn colored short-hair, tiny. I wouldn't mind having one with my Yorkies. I would love another super-sized Airedale terrier, but it wouldn't mix well with the smaller guys, and I'm hooked on the little doggies now. (I'm picturing the Airedale doing the rocking-horse run/dance with little ones underfoot....no way!)

| I have had so many dogs over the years, and so much experience with so many others. It's ironic that Yorkies/Silkies were never one of them, and by chance that Moka came into our lives through my daughter when she did. I just don't see myself ever having anything different. Of course, I don't see my lifestyle changing anytime soon that would change my feelings either. I do love large breed dogs though!

| Boxer (white) Bull Mastiff American Pit Bull Terrier Staffordshire Bull Terrier Great Dane Boston Terrier? Norfolk Terrier Saint Bernard Would have said PBGV and Westie, but I have either the first (pretty sure) or a Westie mix already. Whatever he is, he is a lot of work! Awesome dog though.

| I took one of those "which dog breed is best for you" tests and it stated that a Sheltie would be best for me. I think Shelties are beautiful so who knows?

| possibly a brussels griffon. I have already had a boxer, a german shepherd and a cairn terrier/poodle mix. Those were the dogs that we had when my kids were growing up, they were wonderful with the kids!! Now that are gone.....I have my yorkies!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I really like Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Standard Poodle.. My sister wants one so bad. She worked with quite a few at a vet's office and she loved them I think they are so pretty I would love a Collie. I had one growing up that my parents gave away when I was very young maybe 6?... She was a smooth coated Collie. I still remember going to pick her up.. she was so pretty. I was devastated when they gave her away...

| I really like small dogs, but some small/medium dogs have caught my attention... but I do not know much about their activity level/personalities. Some of these are Shelties (MIL has one, and they are gorgeous!) Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Maltese Springer Spaniels Pomeranians These are all based on looks... so of course I wouldn't ever adopt one without doing the research However, I do not think I will be adding to my pack for about 15 or so years. I'm happy with where we are right now

| I think I'll stay with Yorkies. My one daughter has 2 beautiful Cavaliers and they are sweet as can be but really hairy. My other daughter has a Bernese Mountain Dog and I'd love to have one but it doesn't fit my lifestyle and I don't fit it's life style.
