Ooh this isn't a dog breed but someday I will have a fox. It's been a dream for years and it will hopefully come true some time.

I am a big fan of purebred dogs! Besides our chi baby girls, we have a 5 year old Shih Tzu, Liza Minnelli. We had a beagle before that and losing him broke my heart...after he crossed the rainbow bridge I can't even look at a beagle anymore without tearing up. When I was young I had a Maltese that was WONDERFUL too!

I wish I could be on this planet for 70 more years so I could have all the dog breeds I want...but I LOVE:
-Puli
-English Bulldogs
-French Bulldogs
-Pugs
-Pomeranians
-Golden Retriever

And 100 more chihuahuas!!!

Conversation after losing our boy, Mick (a Chi) and knowing our house was too quiet and empty went like this:

Me: I really love Italian Greyhounds. Perhaps we should consider an Italian Greyhound.
Husband: I do not know what those are.
Me: Here are some pics on the internet. Don't you love how they look?
Husband: So you want a tall Chihuahua?

We got the girls...

LOL, you guys are too funny! Actually I would like to have an Italian Greyhound myself. I once saw a chi/ Italian greyhound cross that was adorable!

The thing with Iggies is they are very delicate, definitely aren't meant for
everyone. At the Iggy meet up we go to there are several three legged ones,
or ones that broke their leg/legs but still have all 4. It's quite sad to see.

Excellent point. There many breeds I like that I could not provide a suitable home for.

I didn't mean you in particular Terri. I just mentioned it because even though
Iggies are one of my ultimate favorite breeds, after seeing how easily they can
get injured my hubby says no way.

I have Blaze my chi of course, Blitz is a pom I love him to pieces but the breed can be a challenge some times. He is usually very well behaved but like most poms he does have his moment. We also have a pit his name is Diesel he was a rescue, found him on the side of the freeway starved and sickly. He is now living the spoiled life now just like the other 2.
