I've had about 11 dogs since I was little. Dixie, Freckles, Puddin', Junior, Bubba, Princess, Punkin', Bubba #2, Prince, Bear, and Sitka. Loved each and everyone of them. Sure miss the ones that I don't have anymore!

I've had 7 since I was little. I currently have 4 now, but my Great Dane is staying with my parents.

I have only had one dog. I don't know if I'd ever get another. I really love dogs, but it can get so expensive when they get sick. If I were to ever get another dog, I'd get a really nice dog like a Golden Retriever (I hear they are nice). I love my dog to pieces, but she's really mean and will bite anyone that tries to touch her other than the people she knows really well.

golden retriever are great dogs.i have one myself and she is so friendly to people.i know whats it like to have a aggressive dog.if you ever need to talk just pm me.i had a american eskimo who was very aggressive and bit my brother and grandma.we had to put him down because i had young nieses and we babysat.we just didnt want them to get bit.Fritz was only 4 years old when we put him and his twin brother down.

I have had many dogs over my lifetime. I have had 13 dogs, not including the two I have now. When I was little, we had a great dane, some mutts, three different GSD's, a St. Bernard, a sheepdog and a rotti (these were from the time I was born until I moved out at 18) - then on my own I've had a couple of mutts, a coyote and two newfoundlands.

Dont know how many in my lifetime, but right now I have 2 adult abpt, 2 pekes and 7 apbt puppies in a litter! Im keeping 3.

Whirling Dervish · 04-22-2006, 11:33 AM

I had one when I was growing up, and he lived to be 19 so it was like having an older brother. Unfortunately, I didn't get another until recently. 8 years ago I rescued one from an inattentive next door neighbor, and we had some very good years together.

I lost him April 7 this year to stomach cancer. Still heartbroken. Hoping to find a little healing on the forum.

Well, I am currently on my 6th dog right now.

Whirling, I heard about your dog in another post but never said it. Sorry about the loss of your dog. I know it's a really hard time right now. I think the saying is true, that you really don't know what you have until it's gone.
Three of the six dogs I have had passed away on me. And it never gets any easier. I wish you all the best.

cheronape · 05-17-2006, 04:54 PM

I have had so many over the years I lost count after about 20 {not all were permanent members{ I worked for a local Humane Society for Several years and fostered quite a bit of them.} I currently have five that are my own.

Mastiffmom · 05-21-2006, 09:30 PM

I grew up with a poodle, 5 mixed breeds in there too.....
Now our Lab and 2 OEM's

All sweet, wonderful dogs.

Mastiffmom · 05-24-2006, 06:50 PM

You're right

.OEM's are Old English Mastiffs. Much easier than typing out the whole name everytime

I'm learning all the time too, and there are things I see and I'm like WHAT???

bigdawgs · 05-24-2006, 08:27 PM

After reading Mastiffmom's post. it got me to thinking about all of the nicknames we have out there for the different breeds
So far, i have come up with
GSD German Shepherd Dog
Pom=Pomeranian
Newfy=Newfoundland
Of course, OEM as mentioned in a previous post.
OES Old English Sheepdog
Rottie=Rottweiler
ST.= Saint Bernard (my personal favorite!!

)
anyone else??

I love them to pieces.
