My wife having many and being a part time handler dogs abound at our house. My daughter is traveling the world right now with a world class pro handler.

I miss my yorkie that died. When I went out of town she would go into the dirty clothes and pick out my clothes from the rest and make a pile and sleep on them or put them in her cage and sleep. I can still see her as I pulled up the driveway jumping on the coffee table having a fit. Course at home she slept on my head. Died in my arms from an enlarged heart.

This thread has tempted me to get a German shepherd puppy. I've always liked German shepherd from the others.

We got our Husky when it was already grown so there's only little bondage between me and the dog. The bondage is there just that it's not a very obedient dog and it rarely barks at people almost never in fact and only at other dogs.

Had a small dog that we took in as puppy and it was very obedient to me. Too bad we had to give it up then.

Check out the Shiloh Shepherd Dog

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiloh_Shepherd_Dog

One of the things I don't like about the contemporary GSD is the sloping back. The Shiloh is more like the "old" GSD.

Something to consider.

If I were to get a dog it would probably be a siberian husky, but I do not see that happening any time soon, an appartment is no place to keep a dog.

Siberian Husky or a border collie or a belgian shepherd (Malinois variety)

I like the picture of him watching the airshow

As the my significant other has grown up all her life with German Shepherds (her dad does 'police training' [bite work, obedience, etc] I can imagine if we get together for good it'd probably be a German Shepherd.

However, if I had any say I'd want a Siberian Husky or a Borzoi Hound (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borzoi).

My best friend in life - growing up we may as well have been brothers - hardly a moment spent apart... he always had border collies, i'll never in my life forget a single one of them.

Great dogs.

Just read about Shiloh it's a rare breed in other words it's going to be very very expensive not to mention the rarity. But yeah it's the dog I would want to have next if money was no issue.

Our Husky 'Borghi'(spelled Borg-e) which just wouldn't want to bark at people at all. I mean at all aside from at other dogs. He has probably gone too domesticated and docile.

That's no hatred he's the only dog that able to stop pregnant women and some other people to stop in their car and motorcycles just to pet him
Really a pregnant women with her husband once stopped their car and the women came out to pet the dog. . . . .

That's a women killer's look. The Justin Bieber of dogs Only Huskies can do that. I had had a Labrador, a real horse in strength and a fine guard dog but it never stopped anybody not surprisingly.
