I'm always curious about these things, if you have more than one dog you can talk about all of them, or pick just one. I've asked some of these questions before, but some are new, I like to hear from different people. It's easier for my to read your answers if you copy down the number of the question or if you copy and paste the whole question.
1. How many dogs do you have?
2. How many dogs have you had?
3. What breeds are they/have they been?
4. Where did you get your dog? (breeder/shelter/rescue)
5. If you got a pure bred dog, why did you choose that breed? If you got a shelter dog, why did you pick that dog from the others?
6. How much did your dog cost?
7. What color(s) is/are your dog(s)?
8. Do you have any other animals?
9. Whats your favorite breed that you've never owned?
10. What breed would you not want to own?
11. When are you going to get another dog (if you know)?
12. What is the most expensive thing your dog (and which dog) has destroyed?
