My wife and I have always had border collies and they’re awesome. I’ve had bird dogs for the last 6 years and I’ll never not have one again. Right now I’ve got a Brittany. She has been amazing. I had a Vizsla for a while and I’ll have another.
My wife fosters rescue dogs so we’ve had tons of breeds and mixed breeds long enough to get a feel for them. Lots have been great. A few…never again. When I was a kid I wanted a husky. We’ve fostered 3 or 4. I no longer have any interest.
