Would like a pair of Siberian Husky’s, but don’t have the time to look after them.
If I wasn’t in full-time employment, would enjoy spending my days walking them along the Sefton coastline |

Don't do it. Unless you want to look like them. I have 2. I'm permanently covered in fur, and every drink has at least 2 stray hairs in it  |

For fitting into my lifestyle currently... probably a pomeranian. 
In a few months providing I'm not pregnant I'd like a weimaraner, that would suit the lifestyle I aim to have. We had lots of dogs when I was younger and my weimaraner was easily my favourite - lovely disposition and so playful and perfectly suited for long walks in the woods. |

I like the look of the W's. Never owned one but find them to be pretty bloody disobedient when being walked around here ........ bad ownership ? |

That’s a tricky one we already have 2, a mini labradoodle and an old English sheep dog, and in a couple of weeks we’re adding a Belgian malinois to the pack.. we love them all for different reasons, and they all fit different aspects of our life as well as as a whole. |

Malinois sounds like a bun .......
I'll have to check that out |

Ermmm... I hate saying that sort of thing but I know Jacob was very headstrong when younger and he did need to be trained. All dogs have the potential to be disobedient but I think sometimes owners let them run circles around them. You'd be the boss of any dog so you'd be fine Granny. |

Are you looking for some Pointers ? |

I’ve had two Westies (west highland white terriers) and loved them to bits! Adorable little characters they are  would happily rehome another if my work commitments weren’t going to change in the next few months. I miss walking the dog! |

I have spaniels, they are pretty high energy and love a walk which suits me. They are quite partial to a cuddle which is nice, but they are worse than kids for stealing all the food. |

Some breeds are more work than others, I think collies exist to please you whereas other breeds are more demanding. I've never had a weim but last dog was a vizla which is similar in temprament to weims. To call him strong minded is an understatement. Dog trainers told me he knew exactly what he was doing. He tested every boundary every chance he got. He was a full time professional asshole that could climb walls and trees and I still miss him.
Before that I had a hyper intelligent dalmatian that could cheat you at cards. She wasn't crazy about people unless they were giving her food.
I'd definitely be tempted by a malinois or a dutch shepard. |

My little terrier Poppy. She is the first dog I have ever owned as have only had cats before. She is very sweet natured, seldom barks and is my constant day time companion. She brings a little ray of sunshine into my life each day. |

I'd need a small lazy dog right now to fit in with my lifestyle. I would love an Italian greyhound.
My ideal dog is a lab/golden retriever.
I had a beautiful yellow lab for 7 years but we had to rehome him last year as he wasn't getting everything he needed from us. My partners work hours and mine meant he was alone too much, our house and garden were too small for him and once my daughter came along I just knew I had to find him a home who could give him everything he deserved. And we were struggling with money for kennels as we used to go visit family five or six times a year and it would cost a small fortune.
I'd love another lab in the future, but it isn't a decision I would make lightly. |

French bulldog. I love them.
But in alm honestly I'd go for a rescue rather than a pedigree puppy. A friend had just reduced a dog from Romania. She tried dogs trust over here but their restrictions are ridiculous and prohibit a lot of people from adopting. |

Yes rescue is best breed there is - my Poppy came from Macedonia and people just chuck their dogs out like rubbish there. |

I Have Alaskan Malamutes - no matter how much research you do - you’re never fully prepared for the fur lol |
