Help Me Choose A Dog Breed, page 7

I rescued a pup from the poubd two years ago. It is the spawn of two dogs you'd never think could actually mate.... He's half Great Dane and half Border Collie. Wierdest looking dog when he was a pup but he has grown into the BEST dog I've ever had.
My 6 and 9 year olds are a handful. He puts up with all there shenanigans and even instigates some of the trouble they get into. He is the sweetest dog I've had (I've had 4 throughout my lifetime and one in the Army) but anyone from outside our 4 member family must be properly introduced to him or I really think he would tear them to shreds and expect us to cook the remains for dinner.
Buddy, (that's the imaginative name my kids came up with....) is truly my best friend. I recently dislocated my shoulder at home. he stood guard and would not let anyone near me while I, first, swore like I never have before then whimpered like a little girl. The paramedics felt so sorry for him when they saw him freaking out when they were gonna take me, they actuall let him ride with us (I know several of our town LEOs and Fire personnel so I'm sure they bent a few rules).
One funny thing was that he looked at me really strangely when they pumped me full of Dilauded. It was like, "Hey, you're not the same guy...." I wasn't with all those narcotics in me, but that just shows how perceptive he is.
Anyway, if you can get a step ladder for a Border Collie or dig a trench for a Dane, consider mating those two for your pup. Or try to get lucky and find one at the pound like I did...

When you go to the pound you will know the dog that is destined to be yours. That is always the best way to adopt a pet. It is an undeniable connection that will happen and when it does, you will know that she or he is the one.

Sorry for all the rambling - I love my collection of dogs.

Don't be sorry! This is a very fun and informative thread for me. In the next three months I will have adopted 40 dogs!

Get a Lab .. black or yellow, or a golden retriever. They shed like crazy, but you couldn't ask for a better family dog.

BOXER! We have three, and in our immediate family, nine - They are wonderful watch dogs - great with kids and listen well if you want to introduce them to new people, REALLY playful, very lovey and the short hair is super easy to keep your house clean! The only thing you need to watch is they can have heart problems.

:-D

Without a doubt the dog you should get is a Presa Canario. They are loyal, obedient and highly athletic.
They are very protective over their family, they are better guard dogs than Rotts and GS and they are more athletic and much stronger than the other 2.
