Okay, thanks for setting me straight about pocket beagles. I missed some of the things you all mentioned and I'm glad you caught it and told me.
I'm still thinking about either buying a rat terrier( my old, regular breed don't breed no more, so I have to find another good reputable breeder, do you know any/) or i might adopt a rat terrier mix at the local animal shelter.
My question is:
What breed of dog, size don't matter, would you recommend. We live out in the country, have a huge yard space.
Also tell why you recommend this breed.
I have had goldens, labs, great danes, mt. bernese, pyrnese, newfs.
I have had rat terriers, JRTS, chow mixes, siberain huskies. I currently have a yorkshire terrier, he's about 5-6 months. We're going to wait till he's about a year or so before getting another puppy, so i have time to do more research on breeds and stuff.
So any suggestions?
Thanks for the answers AND opinion, digusted by idiots, rat terriers are a great breed and not junky JRTs…there is a difference between the two breeds..
I'm going to visit those sites. thanks
I think it's best not to determine the breed you want beforehand because when you see the dog that is right for you, no matter what kind of dog it is, you will know. One suggestion I do have though is to look for one on this site. It posts dogs at kill shelters, the dogs have a few days or even a few hours left before they are killed if nobody saves them. Buying a dog would just be promoting more overpopulation and it would be killing a dog at a shelter. I think it's always better to save a life and I think it's great that you're considering that option.
This is the website. I would search with your zip code first because sometimes out of state dogs are closer than some of the dogs in your state. If you don't find any you like using your zip, then search with your state.

Please note that the site is updated hourly so if you don't see any the first time you look, that doesn't mean there won't be any that you will like.
P.S: it sounds like a big dog would love living at your house with that big yard!
Good luck and let me know if you see anything on the site! Hope I helped =)
And another site you can try if you really don't see any you like on the other site:

I would recommend a Shepard or collie. They love the country, are very nice, and your backyard would be great for either breed. They need a lot of room to get exercise and a lot of attention. They make great herders and partners. They are also breeds you haven't had so you should check them out. Good luck!

I would not focus on breed and just visit the local shelter regularly. Eventually they will have a dog come in that is right for you. You'll know it when you meet it, it will be the one you can't bear to leave there.
