Dog breed poll

It was actually 5 after I recounted between my folks and my family. That one in the picture Was Bailey at about 12 years old. A smaller Britt that loved to go. She was about 22” and 30# of hunting lapdog.
She was 6 months old in this one
We added her half sister about a year before she crossed over at an old 15+.

Funny.
Actually, I'm surprised by the variety based on the multitude of German Shepherd and Short Haired Pointer photos posted previously.
I got me one laying next to me on the couch right now. Drove up to Wyoming from Texas last February to pick her up. I’ve had lots of hounds since I grew up and she is really something else. Smart and incredibly athletic. I’ve never seen a dog move like her. She gives the coyotes hell.
Sums up their personalities pretty well. The liver female is all business, the orange male is a clown.
“There’s no fricken way i’m related to this muppet!”

They are mix breeds. Generally Malamute,Husky,German Shepard, and sometimes a little bit of Sarloos and or Czech wolfdog blood.
More of a wolf dog lookalike with little to no actual wolf blood that are known for having a gentle disposition.
Mine has the above mentioned genetics and it is interesting to see the different breed characteristics manifested in him. Has the size, talks and pouts like a malamute, more independent than a Shepard and protective but not a flight risk like husky. Fur pattern of a Czech wolfdog.
All around chill, happy dog.
Uh... black & white? 3 month old great dane/Anatolian shepherd mix.
Strange how few bull terriers there are. Great companions that will protect you and yours to their last breath. Loves rough play but still gentle with small kids.

They're almost like cats the way they move. Mine killed so many rabbits, birds, squirrels, etc out of the yard. The first few years were like living with a wild animal but she was also lover who hated to be away from me. Id get another one no question
Golden Shepard.
He has the head of a Golden Retriever (and manner) and body of German Shepard.
Great dog.

That's a big dog for sure. Can they deal with the heat well? What about drool and shedding? Our dog lives with us inside and the shedding is a big issue I've learned to live with to have Akita's, but if I'm going to give up having my beloved Akita, I'd rather not have the shedding.
Pugs are the best companion dog anyone will ever have. I've had many and I miss my girl still. She was 15 years old. Such sweet and awesome little dogs.
I can't really answer the heat question as I'm up north so we don't really get excessively hot days (90 is hot for us). We just make sure the dog has water and they have been fine. They usually find shade somewhere or lay in the garage.
We have one inside/outside and one outside with garage access/bed. Preferably we would have had both outside with a garage bed for them but it's too late for that now.
Drooling and shedding aren't as bad as other large breeds but it does happen. They are great protectors and need to be trained as such.
This breed isn't like a golden retriever that's going to be overly playful but they are very loyal. Socializing them to friends and family at a young age is helpful. Our family has 100+ acres that these dogs protect.
If you are protecting chickens and other animals I'd suggest getting a couple of geese (can't remember the type). The geese can't protect against coyotes but they serve as an early warning for the dogs to take action.
Field Bred English Springer Spaniel for the win. Great around the house and with kids....killer hunters in the field. Very selectively breed by the Field Trial community and completely different from the show springers that most are familiar with. Separated from the show variety since the 1500's in England, Scotland and Wales and imported to the US. Need plenty of room to run but sure are fun.
Breeding your dogs is illegal in most states, in Texas, you actually have to register as a sex offender if convicted.
Ask for a diagram, I dare youHow the fuck does that work?
Didn't think I'd have to spell it out, kind of ruins the joke, but here you go:How the fuck does that work?

Lot of stuff missing for this poll. Some to consider, in no particular order.
German Sheperd (on your list). Fantastic digs but prone to hip problems
Belgian Malinois. Great breed, but has to be stimulated and best trained.
Tibetan Mastiff depending on where you are
Rhodesian Ridgeback
Belgian shepherd
Australian Sheperd
Alaskan Malamute
Siberian Husky (needs stimulation or will get into crap)
But don’t discount the mixed breed either. Some of the best dogs I ever had were mixed. Had a pointer/collie mix and a Shiba Inu/Lab mix that were both rescues and some of the best dogs I ever had! Highly intelligent. Pretty unique too in a way. Don’t discount the rescues!

Although, the mixed breed thing can get a tad "excessive."
In re: "Labradoodle, GoldenDoodle, etc."
The "Doodleman Pinscher????" Seriously????

List was made up of dogs most frequently posted on Man's Best Friend thread. Personally, have had mutts, GSDs, and Akitas--all great. Want to try Golden, Boxer, and Weimeraner, but I'm getting old.
Boerboel.
I'm assuming that since you mentioned the Cane Corso that you've already planned on the required training and socialization.
years ago when me and my mother worked with a blood hound rescue we fostered a golden retriever/blood hound mix and he was one hairy dog. had the sweetest disposition ive ever seen.
i had one when i was a kid and loved that dog. I still miss her to this day. great at everything and smart as a whip.
Yeah, I have a 12 year old 150lb akita. I have looked at the Boerbeol before and that's a good suggestion
Lmao! Tis trueAlthough, the mixed breed thing can get a tad "excessive."
