We had a Shetland Sheepdog that my daughters named Cinnamon. She was a great little dog and she was a great companion. She died about four years ago and we still can't imagine getting another dog to replace her.

We have three dogs.... two SHih-Tzus and a Boston Terrier. All three are great pets and that Boston is the funniest damn dog ever.
I did greyhound rescue for nine years and have a true soft spot for them. I owned three at one time but they all passed over the years.
I love most breeds.

We're a Lab family.
1 black, 2 yellow, 1 chocolate.
I like large dog and labs are very loyal and loving. They also love the outdoors like I do.

We've had Doberman's, Alma, Zena, Stella and now Irma. While some who haven't ever known Dobies believe they are mean, those who've had the pleasure of having one of these fine animals know that they are pussy cats, big lovable pussy cats who are if anything too demanding of attention. And since the types who don't know them might want to come after some of my stuff, I'm not sad about the reputation.
Is it a myth that you have to pay extra home insurance with Dobermans in the house?

For me, I never had to pay more, but I was denied home-owner's insurance from one company because I had a Dobie.

Well, it is not the case for our dogs. However, property insurance is different in every state so what's true for me might not be for others. I believe I've heard that some communities have put limitations on some breeds like pit bulls--but I don't know how that works.

I had dogs growing up and all my life, but they were treated like our livestock...kept outside. A nine years ago a bony poor Pit bull came to my home and adopted me. She checked out positive for a big infestation of heart worms. We began the treatment but I couldn't keep her from running around and chasing squirrels and she got sick. So I was forced to keep her inside for the rest of the >month long treatment. This was when I realized what "pet people" where all about when they personified and spoke of love for their dogs and cats. My Pit became part of the family and we were her pack. She loved everybody and loved playing with every dog she met. It was a real time of enlightenment for me. She's gone now and I think of her everyday when I water the Azalea on her grave.

My wife and I are big fans of the Akita. When I was on the force we had 2, a male and a female, as guard dogs for the house. Even though these dogs had no formal guard dog training they foiled a home invasion at my house while I was out of town. Our male was 140 pounds and lived to the age of 12, he was my bestest buddy ever. Our female was 120 and lived to 14. We had to have them put down about 6 years ago and it was the worst day of my entire life. When my buddy's heart stopped it felt like mine did, too. I tear up every time I think about him.
The picture I'm posting is not my buddy but this is exactly how he looked. Imagine a 140 pound version curled up in my lap watching television with me.
We had them cremated and they remain with us. They both are buried in our garden in view of our dining room window.
