Haha I understand and that's okay. It's so hard to just choose three. I mean, I also want a Sphynx cat and ohh soo many other animals haha.
Nice to see what everyone likes!! Everyone is so different.
Dream dog, and/or any pet.

Dogs: doberman has been my dream dog for as long as I could remember, and if I couldn't have one, id get a German pinscher... But outside of the dobe look, id have to go with Aussie, husky, and st Bernard
Other pets: horse, goat, serval cat (also Siamese and sphinx are up there too, and probably more realistic choices than a serval lol)
We already have chickens, which was on my list, a lobster, which was on my list FOREVER, and a Dragonet, which I've also always wanted. So some stuff is getting crossed off my lists!

They are such neat dogs.
The closest I came to having a pet lobster was a crayfish. It was awesome! It shed its shell several times and was great to watch eating all the food I gave it like bits of shrimp and fish. Unfortunately, it tried to eat the live fish in the tank. I had a breeding pair of angelfish in the same tank, and the crayfish latched on to the long anal fin of one of the fish. Unfortunately it had to go. I'd consider doing a crayfish habitat in the future though.
I had one if those for a time too.
Shared a tank with a couple of asshole Cichlids. And I didn't know about the shedding thing.
One day I was pretty bummed, saw the remnants and figured the fish ate him.
Pleasantly surprised a week or so later when he came out of his rock.
Ours stays in his cave. Sort of bummed because hes GORGEOUS... But hes leaving everything alone lol... He just shed his shell too, and at first I was like omg the crab is eating the lobster! Until I realized the crab was carrying around an empty shell!!
Look late night/early morning

Ive tried... I'm usually up until 2am ish and I havent seen him out of his cave. Hubby is usually up until 4ish and hasnt seen him- then I get up at 6 to get kids up and to back to bed, and haven't seen him then either! Hoping once he hardens up after this molt he'll be out more late at night. Weve barely had him a month... So heres hoping!
Well? That's when I had best luck seeing them.
Maybe he's just not ready yet.

I've been asking for a dragon or unicorn for years and still nothing.
I'm pretty dead set on Dobermans. Hopefully getting a chocolate lab puppy next year so I'm really interested to train him and see how different it is from the Dingo. That's my boyfriends pick and I can never remember if he wants American (more athletic) or English (heavier) style...
I love the look and attitude of German Short Hair Pointers. Rhodesian Ridgebacks are also lovely.

We had a GSP before the Dobermans and he was the most wonderful dog, but when we went outside his hunting instinct was so strong that he didn't want to keep his safe distance by us and leashing him for every walk or run wasn't fun. I guess it might have been different if we would have had an e-collar back then, but we didn't.

For me, I dream of having a horse or two again. First time in my life for most of my life I haven't had one, and it's painful. I am like Regalis in regards to exotics, I feel they are better appreciated in the wild. Fascinating no doubt, but do not thrive in captivity in their limited space or interact like a dog would with humans. No cats. I noticed a number of people expressing interest in pit bulls, I have had APBT my whole life and if it was not for Brinks coming into my life I never would have considered another breed. Not that I felt "elitist" but just have been so happy with them. They are medium sized, like Dobermans minimal grooming, highly athletic, courageous, loyal, and loving to a fault. Tough as nails and quit is not a word in their dictionary. Rescues are great no doubt, but for those wanting a traditional bred APBT the ADBA (American Dog Breeders Association) is dedicated to preserving the working APBT, and all dogs registered within the ADBA are also UKC eligible. However UKC dogs are not ADBA eligible. When it comes time for another dog, it will definitely be a torn decision.
One of the owners of my workplace has a Beauceron that he frequently brings in. He is a nice dog, very placid and comfortable with his surroundings. Personally the double dew claw kind of creeps me out :X lol. A couple Rhodesian ridgebacks came in the other day and THOSE dogs I would take in a heart beat! Beautiful, robust, and such endearing personalities to match. Like with food though my problem isn't that I'm picky, it's that I like TOO much and can't decide..

My dream pet came true in 2003 when I first got Cheyenne. Then Sandy arrived and then Stilts. I've always had a dog and I believe I always will. Even in my old age I'll have something! It might have to be small, but I don't think I can live without a dog.

Oh and also to those wanting chickens... consider ducks! My two are so stinking cute, personable, friendly, and funny. Plus their eggs are larger with a bigger yolk. They literally come running up to me quacking with excitement whenever they see me, if you've never seen a duck run at full tilt that in itself is highly entertaining

I agree!!
I've never had chickens, but ducks are awesome!
I used to live on a 6(?) acre lake, and had lots of ducks, they're soo cool. I even rescued a baby goose, and it was pretty awesome too.
Omg, that image put a smile on my face!
