I know I'm not the world's biggest dog person, but if it's feasible sometime in my life, I think I would like to get either a Welsh Corgi, an English Bull Terrier, or a German Shepherd -- maybe eventually all three, though that would depend on where/how I live, how much time I have for the animals, and the temperament of the animals. Might be easier to just have them one at a time; the average life span of a dog is, what, twelve to fourteen years? (Probably more; I need to do research before I pick up ANY pet, let alone a dog!) That's about forty-five years; with a little overlapping, I could probably do that, though again it depends on the circumstances. And I'd have to rethink the whole cat and hedgehog thing... I could probably have the hedgehog at the same time as the cat and/or dog, but the cat might have some problems. Hmm...

I know a lot about dogs, so if you want to ask me about them sometime, that's kewl. The three breeds you have selected there are all really active though, so I hope you're prepared to keep not only their bodies, but also their minds active or they'll drive you bats. A corgi, especially, will be utterly neurotic if you don't give it a job to do that involves both lots of exercise and lots of thinking, so keep in mind your own abilities as a trainer before you choose one.

Hedgehog! That's an interesting one. I think for myself I'd want 2 cats and probably wouldn't want a dog. Maybe once, just to say I did it, but I've never had one. The cutest dog I ever saw was half boxer, quarter black lab, & quarter border collie.
