Dog Poll

[ClockworkOrange]

Well, here goes, let's see who has the same breed of dog, my goodness, I never realised there were so many, especially with the new 'designer' dog breeds.

If I have left any particular breed off the poll, I think I can add it?

Our golden retriever is a purebred. And our yellow lab is almost all lab but seems to have bit of Great Pyrenese mixed in. So I checked off "lab golden" he is golden in nature He is a big very loveable boy!!

Here is the list of 'Designer dogs' I came across, I am glad I do not own a Cockapoo!

Nala was an Aussie Shephard, more or less; and Branwen was "spaniel-esque". To call her a Springer would be too generous, and besides, she didn't grasp the "fetch" concept. She wasn't the brightest girl, but once she settled down, was a happy dog. I'm convinced that Nala was a calming influence. Both were "Res" dogs - born on an Indian Reservation of indeterminant breeding -most dog breeds were of some sort of working type.

Miss both my girls.

I answered the poll with Mutt and Golden - but have also owned a Maltese.

I only answered with the ones I have owned, meaning since I became an adult. I have two Miniature Schnauzers right now - Heidi (10.5 years, white) and Jens (9 months, chocolate colored). We also had Maggie, the sweetest little soul who was what is sometimes called "Phantom", black with a white beard and white legs. She filled our life from 2004-2009, I miss that girl often.

My favorite pet prior to these guys was a Keeshond mix named Blackie Bear. We got him when I was 15 months so he was my buddy until he died when I was 13-14, he had a heart of gold much like Maggie did. He ended up taking up residence with my grandparents when I was 4 because he had unintentionally bit a neighborhood kid, the kid cornered him and was hitting him with a plastic bat. We're not even sure he bit the kid or just scratched him and busted his lip but his Dad was a Sheriff so it was take him out of the county or lose him for good. If I ever move to a less steamy climate I would like another Keeshond.

We also had: basset/beagle mix, a yellow lab mix that sadly got a parasite and died quickly at just under 2 years and my parents had two Rottweilers once I left for college.

How do I vote for 'mutt' three times? Just kidding...

Malemute didn't get on the list. :-( and how do you do quantity?

Unfortunately this Forum is Powered by vBulletin® Version 3.8.6 and so far as I can see, does not allow you to add any more categories, despite I allowed for extras, assuming incorrectly that I could go back and edit the Poll.

Neither does it give the option of voting for more than one breed but at least you can vote for more than one different breed.

I added 28 different breeds, allowing for 35 but there are over 150 breeds registered with the American Kennel Club, and that doesn't include all breeds in the world of which there appear to be thousands.

I've pestered a moderator, to perhaps edit the Poll for me.

Most will probably know but if you hover over the word VOTE you can see who has voted.

Anyway, it looks like the Mutt's are in the lead!
