I personally have two dogs.  Both are mutts, but each has a distinctive breed.  One is a terrier, the other a German shepherd.  
I love dogs! What is your favorite breed?
I love dogs, too.  The German Shepherd is my favorite breed.  They were originally bred in Germany.  
I wonder what their similarities are to Australian Shepherds, I used to have one of those and loved her.
Interestingly, the "Aussie" was actually bred from the Basque country in Western Europe.  No one is quite sure how it became connected with Australia.  
That is interesting! I love the herding dogs, they have such a distinct personality and desire to be outside running around.
I agree.  They are amazing dogs.  The White Shepherd is another "shepherd" mix.  It was bred with white coats from the German Shepherd line.
Very cool. I also love samoyeds, where do they come from?
