I would never own a dog like that because I would never own a dog that is not a German shepherd.
So not only am I vain, I am elitist.
I would, however, rescue a German shepherd from a pound. I've done that, in fact. This one:
Her name was "Beauty." We didn't give it to her - she came with it. But it was apt, no?
Our family dog when I was a child, and during my growing-up years, was a beautiful German Shepherd named Toots (and we had a cat named Priscilla!). She was darker than Beauty, nearly all black, looked like a big wolf, but she had the most beautiful, gentle personality. She was my best friend. We went everywhere together. I still love German Shepherds to this day.
