Wife got the yorkie after her father gave up on potty-training it. It was her sisters, then her fathers, and then it was either for her to take or it was going to the shelter. A addition to her college rental house. Later a 'friend' of her gave her a cat as a present, out of the wild blue yonder.
We were out to valentines day dinner while dating when I got my mutt, I was thinking of getting a corgi or other mid-size mutt model for my apartment. Our waitress was telling the table next to us that her parents had puppies to get rid of, they had been born on the farm after a wandering stranger visited their bitch. Apparently one of the pups had been taken by a predator(I believe she said it was a bird, which I suppose is possible but never seemed likely). She said they were border collie/shepherd mixes, which sounded a little big for the apartment I shared but I said what the hell, the dog will be smarter than I am. I came back a few weeks later to get my new dog and it was an orange ball of fluff, I imagine she is 75% chow. Still smarter than me though.
We got our Dane through petfinder from a rescue after looking for a long time. He is a hyper active ridiculous monster who has finally semi-calmed down but is probably going to be at least half lunatic till he keels over. Also a sweetheart.
We are probably going to let our dog count get down to 1 before we even think of getting another. We volunteered with the humane society for a long time, and our next dog will probably be from there. Lots of great dogs coming through all the time. The only exception is if we get another giant breed, we will probably want to try one from a puppy next time.
