I've always been partial to shepherds and rottweilers but there are a number of other dogs I wouldn't mind owning.
I had a minature yorkie that weighed under 2lbs... Was an awesome little dog until an old lady ran over him. Was like hitting a squirrel...
a girl I'm seeing has something almost that small. 4lbs I think. can't remember what it is.

I like most medium sizes or large dogs, I hate yappy little things, don't see the point at all. Give me a mixed breed medium size dog any day, I'm not fussed on pedigree, I like mongrels.
I doubt this will surprise anyone.

If I ever get another dog it will be a yorkie, but they are little and have to go everywhere with you, I couldn't just leave it home for the week and have a neighbor feed it when we go on vacation, so when my current dogs die I probably won't replace them.

Lol, we have 4 cats. We too are crazy cat people. We figure we'll get a dog whenever Samantha tells us she wants one.

Hey dad if I get a dog would you take it out in the day while I'm at work, if it was ya know compatible with your dog? That would be cool. Then I could walk it evenings and weekends.
Tons of places have puppies. All the dogs I've ever had (except 2) were puppies from humane society/rescue.
I don't expect to sell you on this idea but I can't help adding that most people discount older dogs, but they aren't _that_ bad, it takes just as long to get a puppy housebroken as it does to get an older dog to trust you. They are also usually housebroken, sleep when you aren't around (once they settle in), and spend most of their time sniffing. Just something to think about.
Fly is right about mutts living longer and having better health. I've only ever had one pure bred dog and he was great (black lab) and he died way too soon (we had to put him down because broken hip and tumors). =/

You don't walk your dog evenings or weekends, for all you know it could be me doing it anyway.
I see your mother leave the house with the dog. I see her return with the dog. What happens in between (as long as it's legal and I don't have to watch) is of no concern to me.
I only got the dog so your mother would spend more time out of the house.
