If there weren't Yorkies... - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

This is easy for me. I have always had an odd obsession with Basset Hounds and have recently seen a Newfoundland that I feel in love with.

So these are the 3 dogs I'd like to have in my life.

Yorkie
Basset Hound
New Foundland (I want it as big as it gets!)

The latter 2 will be well into the future when I have a big house and a big yard. But I am sure I'll always have a Yorkie. They are just way too much fun!

I've actually had this discussion before because my husband and I were thinking of a 3rd dog but he likes to vary things up and even though he loves our Yorkie and our Maltese he doesn't want to compare them to another one of that breed so he'd want to try a different breed. I think he likes researching everything about a new breed and then getting to know that kind of dog. We settled on a Papillon, Japanese Chin, or a Cavalier King Charles for our future 3rd.. although I think that will have to be way off in the future.. 2 are a handful!

I was playing with a Japanese Chin last weekend. I thought it was a Papillon until I asked. He was a doll - so cute & sweet!

I sure liked the looks of the golden, red Austrailian Terrier I saw on TV at Crufts. The English have a number of terriers that look interesting to me..we do not have those breeds here in the USA.

Miniature Schnauzer. They're not as portable as Yorkies, but I love them.

I would take another Basset Hound if I didn't have a nose. I used to have a Basset Hound. Just to warn you, they have a very bad hound smell. Most hound owners don't mind it, but I couldn't stand it. They also shed a ton! But, they are great dogs. My old Basset was very well-behaved and very loving. He just wanted to lay in my lap and go to sleep or be carried around the house, but he was rather fat. LOL

If I could handle a big dolg, I would probably get a Newfie or a St. Bernard. They are just so loving even though they are huge.

But, I don't think I could handle all of the drool, etc. So I would have to stick with smaller dogs. I love terriers like the Cairn and the Australian terrier. I also love English Bull Dogs. My Aunt has one named Bubba. He drools a lot, but he is small. He is so cute!

I would probably have a maltese! They're so small, white and adorable.. like a big giant huggable snowflake. lol

Chihuahuas. We had them from the time I was little and they had such sweet personalities and loved to play. Since I was a kid many of those years, that suited me just fine!

We always had big dogs, too, as I was growing up. The smartest and nicest was half german shepherd and I think the other half was collie??? was a wonderful dog.

If there were no yorkies, I would probably have wanted a pomeranian. My mom has two and they are great...

Actually, if there were no yorkies than my HUSBAND would have had his pick and we'd have a bull terrier... That's the breed he wanted.

chachi · 06-22-2005, 12:08 PM

I would want a poodle but my husband doesn't like them so I doubt I would be able to get one. Maybe a pomerainian.

yorkieagility · 06-22-2005, 12:13 PM

I grew up with doxie so maybe one of those. But for awhile I was thinking about getting a border collie. I thought I might get one about 5-10 years from now. However, my border collie came sooner than I thought so now I have a border collie.
