I love the Malteses, part;ly because they don't shed and I have COPD, but mostly because they are so fun to play,...but.. also love to be lap held people. They seem to have more sense than some people so I still call them human. LOL They are also smart.

As long as I have been married(48 yr) have had GS and cats. Usually just one GS at a time; but multiple cats. How ever since DH was cruelty investigator for Animal Control, we usually have at least 2 GS or GS mixes. All except the first one have been found or pound puppies. Right now we have T-Tucker GS/Corgi...hope the mother was the GS and 7 cats.
Just last week another another dog GS/ ? ...maybe Golden ret. cause he likes to lean on you like velco fastens. He is a big scaredy cat...scared of noises, shadows, anything moving. But likes people. Not quite housebroken at 10 mo. We think he was abused and a yard dog. Very smart. We named him Chance because it is his last chance for life(from Animal Control) and might be our last chance to recue another dog. As far as my heart dog, was a femate long haired GS we adpoted in IL. All animals are always neutered or spaded. But really I love all critters. Just can't afford more than we have or would have a lot more.

I have five dogs and four cats----all rescues and all were on death row. The dogs are Australian Shepherd mix (my avatar), a Beagle, a German Shepherd mix and two Pit Bulls. All are very sweet and loving and the Pit puppy is NOT a watchdog---he's 86 lbs but scared of strangers. The German Shepherd mix is very smart and can read my mind at times---she's my favorite. I had a GS mix while I was raising the kids and she was a sensitive delight as well. When these five are gone I will have two dogs at a time since I'll be about 60 by then. I'll definitely look for a female German Shepherd mix....

My favorite breed is the beagle .We now have our 3rd one and each has been funny and personable in their own way.They go after any calorie that hits the floor and are certainly counter surfers but such loves I can not imagine not having one to enjoy.Their size makes them good for us as they have all the personality of a big dog but are easier to walk .

It could just be mine, but he is very dependent and anxious (I love him, of course, but hate for him to get upset so easily)...something I've never encountered with my other dogs, so I don't think I "spoiled" him? I grew up with a German shepherd, Siberian Husky (until we had to find a new home for her...horrible neighbor boys taunted and threw things at her and my parents became afraid she might "get" one if she ever got a chance :(), mutts, Chows. We love animals in our family and there is always a variety milling around at holiday time. Fortunately, most get along well!
