You might not really care about the size, color and whatnot, but please do give it some real thought, if it honestly doesn't matter, then go ahead and put it down.

I don't want anyone to just say, "my dog!" or anything to that extent. Although it will be really difficult, try not to be biased towards your breed(s)or dog.

Do you prefer:

1. Pointed, semi floppy, or floppy ears

2. Long or short ears

3. Long(cocker), semi-long(golden), curly(poodle), semi-short(husky), or short(boxer) fur

4. Color?

5. Eye color?

6. Longer tail or shorter tail

7. A white tiped tail, or no white tip

8. Shorter snout or longer snout

9. Hanging upper lip or one that stops at the bottom lip

10. Drool or no drool

11. Wrinkles(a lot, a little?) or no wrinkles

12. Long legs or short legs

13. More of a square shape or rectangle when you look at the dog from the side

14. Height?

15. A dog that's friendly, semi-aloof, or aloof or strangers

16. Couch potatoe, active, really active

17. A dog who barks a lot or a little

18. A dog that yips, barks, howls, or yodels (like a basenjii)

19. A dog that likes water or doesn't

Does your dog(s) breed(s) give you what you prefer, or is it not in some way?

Example: You have a pointed eared dog, but you prefer floppy ears.

If you have any suggestions to add, let me know!

  3. Here are my preferences:

    1: Any, but i think semi-floppy are cute!

    2: Either.

    3: Short or Semi-short (less grooming and mats)

    4: Any

    5: Any

    6: Natural but won't base decision on it

    7: Either

    8: Longer (schnauzer, lab type) as short snouts (bulldog, pug) can mean breathing problems

    9: Either

    10: No drool

    11: No wrinkles (too many wrinkles can mean skin problems or eye/ear problems)

    12: Long legs

    13: Either

    14: Medium to large though i do like SOME small dogs....

    15: Friendly but CALM (as opposed to current dog who needs to greet everyone.... but that's okay lol)

    16: In between couch potato and active

    17: Either - barking can be controlled

    18: All (lol) because it's fun - my dog does it all

    19: Likes water

    20: Does your dog(s) breed(s) give you what you prefer, or is it not in some way?

    In a way, yes. I don't base my decision on looks alone (although i love how Kiley looks lol.) She is more active than we thought she'd be but she loves the water (so far), she's very friendly, and she chatters with me. She's stubborn as heck though!

    21: Is there a dog breed that you're planning to get with your preferences?

    More Schnauzers. And eventually i'll start a rescue, but i don't plan on keeping them all!  ^_^  Though it has to be said - each individual dog is different personality wise, and that's what i base my decisions on!


  4. 1.  Floppy

    2.  Average size...not too long, not too short

    3.  Short hair

    4.  Black

    5.  No preference, brown is fine

    6.  Long tail

    7.  No white tip

    8.  Medium length snout...not too long, not too short

    9.  Doesn't matter

    10.  I prefer no drool, but I don't mind if I've got a drooler

    11.  No wrinkles

    12.  Long legs

    13.  Neither....I prefer a long, sleek, curved body

    14.  Tall dogs

    15.  Friendly toward strangers

    16.  Couch potato

    17.  Amount of barking doesn't matter

    18.  Barking

    19.  Doesn't like water

    I have two shelter dogs, one being a mutt...they don't fit my "preferences" all the way, but no biggie.  Plus, they are both as different as night and day, so while one has a quality I like (being friendly toward strangers,) the other one has the complete opposite (being ugly toward strangers.)

    The only preferences from your list that really matters when we get another dog will be size.  Otherwise, temperament is the most important thing in my book.

    My dog's breed doesn't give me much of what I prefer. He's a chihuahua.

    I love dogs, and I want to have multiple dogs once I have my own place and have the time, space, and money for them. I want a Golden Retriever, American Pit Bull Terrier, and English Springer Spaniel.

  7. The dog has to be Large

    The dog has to be able to Guard ( Very Well )

    The dog has to look Beautiful

    The dog has to be Calm, loving, loyal & Protective.

    I own an Akita and will be getting a Bull Mastiff shortly.  I think these two dogs make my point.  The other breeds I would look at are:

    Rottie - Corso - Kangal - Dogue De Bordeaux - English Mastiff -  

  8. i have everything i want in my basset.

    i didnt write "everything coz of drool thing.basset drools when drinks water, nothing bad.but drool anyway.

    i love the long ears,short nice velvet hair.

    long tail,

    WRINKLES!

    short legs are cute

    height good, but ,weight GREAT, coz my mom didnt want big dog, but it turned out that my abba is gonna be a pig

    barks almost nothing,howl (so i heard, but mine didnt start yet)

    like water so so.

  9. german shephard, as have grown up with them as a little boy, but, semi drool, barks, bites when needed, not when feels like. can catch ball, play with kids, ets

  10. I prefer dogs with big muscular body, big head with big floppy ears.  Wrinkles are good too.  My dogs fit me great because they're bullmastiffs.  I like all mastiffs, rotties.  Something in the large category.

    Does your dog(s) breed(s) give you what you prefer, or is it not in some way?

    I have a Tri Color Scottish Rough Collie...she is perfect except that I prefer the shorter snout, but her snout is super cute.  And,  I really love the long floppy ears of a coonhound...but, a coonhound was not a good match for my lifestyle.  My favorite dog breed to look at is the Bernese Mountain Dog, but again, not the best match for my lifestyle.  

  13. 1. Semi Floppy

    2. Medium ears

    3. Semi-long to long

    4. Depends on the dog but in general tri-color with a reddish brown being the predominant color. But in Aussies I like merles (either red or blue)

    6. Long and furry tail

    7. White tipped

    8. Long snout

    10. No drool

    11. No no wrinkles

    15. Friendly

    16. Really active

    17. Little but some barking is fine

    18. Barks

    19. LOVES water

    I have two dogs a sheltie (who fits this criteria almost perfectly) and a Welsh Corgi (who is far from it!) The corgi is my exception to my dog preferences because of their personality and normally I only like medium to big dogs with gorgeous tails while the corgi is a stocky little thing with no tail! When I get my own dogs I want a blue and red merle Australian shepherds and a tri-color rough collie.

  14. Hunter, German Shorthairs are my favorite
