I seem to remember that one of my high school classmates and her husband have an alpaca ranch in Arizona or Nevada. I can't even remember her name now--I saw her at our reunion in 2002. It'll come to me. LOL

what's even more hilarious is that someone on one of the grooming forums trimmed the topknot of her silky bantam hen so she could see better; and posted before & after pics!!!!!! hehehehehe

What kind of chicken is the black/white bird? Or is it just called a "fancy chicken"? It's quite striking. I love the Silkies too.


I used to have a few Rabbits, mostly Holland Lops and I'm seriously thinking about getting more. I have the room and they are pretty easy to keep. I will of course have more Hollands; they are unbelievably cute and have the best personalities. I knit and enjoy grooming so I'm thinking a few English Angoras would be a good fit as well. Honestly, having a fiber farm, complete w/ rabbits, goats and alpacas, would be a dream come true. After being out of Rabbits a few years it's amazing to see how much progress they've made w/ color, conformation and new breeds. Several breeds that were once only available in Ruby Eyed White, now come w/ blue eyes and/or a rainbow of colors. I hope to have a Persian/Himilayan (cat) at some point and I would love a horse. I guess an Afghan Hound and a Giant Schnauzer would be on the list too.

A Miniature Vietnamese Pot Bellied Pig!

I have wanted one for years. The OH said I can have one when we are retired with a big garden.
I also want.... wait for it....
a Madagascan Hissing Cockroach!

I would LOVE to have alpacas - I remember seeing one at an agricultural show, and he was like a very leggy poodle with the most amazing eye lashes! It was love at first sight.

Including dogs? I dream of owning at least one male Ibizan Hound. Oh gosh, what I wouldn't do for one of those dogs. <3 Ch. Ferran De El Pollet is my absolute DREAM Ibizan. There is nothing about that dog I am not in love with. Also, Pharaoh Hounds are a close second to Ibizans on my favorites. (: Just love them!! There are obviously many other breeds I would love to own but those are my MUST haves.

As far as other pets go, as much as I like them, I'm not into much other than dogs or cats to own. I LOVE cats, almost as much as I love dogs. I desperately want a Cornish Rex... as much as I support adoption of cats especially, that is just a breed I desperately love and would go to a breeder for (that is, assuming I couldn't find one through petfinder or a shelter).

Don't want hooved critters, no birds, not a huge fan of most little caged animals, reptiles are cool, but I wouldn't own one. So basically dogs & cats for me (:

OH OH OH but GOD do I want to own an exotic pet, just once! Not a big cat or anything crazy like that. I'd love to take care of animals that couldn't survive in the wild.
A red fox is like, my dream special pet. I have seen a few people with wonderful pet foxes and it just KILLS me!! I know it's bad, but... oh, a girl can dream, right?

I don't think my husband would let me get anymore pets. We already have our poodle, crested gecko, and two leopard geckos. My dream dog breeds are a greyhound or borzoi. But I want more geckos!

My future dream pet would be another Belgum horse. I had one but had to sell him last year, but we probably moving to my moms property soon so i can get another one since well have 40 acres, we already have 7 horses now, they are arabs and quarters.
