Create a channel Learn moreIt 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.6 Brittany's! That's wild. Your pup is very handsome. How big is he ?
My Britt was pretty petite, approximately 19" at the shoulder and 26 - 28" in fighting shape. Just forward of her hips, I could make a "C" clamp with my hand and hold her back. But then she had a good size ribcage and some big old lungs.
Were your Britts quiet? Mine hardly ever made a peep.
Funny.Next things you’ll be asking are;
What was your high school mascot?
What was your first car?
Who was your first crush?
What month were you born?
Not today, mister Nigerian prince…
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.Miss my mountain cur. Best dog I ever had

They are mix breeds. Generally Malamute,Husky,German Shepard, and sometimes a little bit of Sarloos and or Czech wolfdog blood.Looks like a wolf/wolf-dog.
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 questionI got me one laying next to me on the couch right now.

Akitas are a special breed and there is no other dog like them. My boy has been the best dog over ever had and I honestly don't know what I'm going to do when he's gone. He's 12 years old now and is showing signs of his age. I will have to get another big dog for sure but with the heat we have in AL, I just don't think I should get another Akita. It's just not a good climate for them here though they are the absolute most amazing breed ever.
I've looked at Italian mastiff (C corso) and that's a very likely option but anyone else ITT have an idea for a large breed that would do well in the heat and protect my family and property and be a good family 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.Anatolian Mastiff
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.Mutt
Pug
Boxweiler
2 Bostons
English Bulldog
No more dogs. Hurts too much when they’re gone
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.That's a big dog for sure. Can they deal with the heat well? What about drool and shedding?

How the fuck does that work?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?
It wasn't a very good joke. Carry on.Breeding
Sexually assaulting your dogs is illegal in most states, in Texas, you actually have to register as a sex offender if convicted.

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!
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.Lot of stuff missing for this poll. Some to consider, in no particular order.

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.Golden Shepard.
He has the head of a Golden Retriever (and manner) and body of German Shepard.
Great dog.
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.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.
Yeah, I have a 12 year old 150lb akita. I have looked at the Boerbeol before and that's a good suggestionBoerboel.
I'm assuming that since you mentioned the Cane Corso that you've already planned on the required training and socialization.
Lmao! Tis trueAlthough, the mixed breed thing can get a tad "excessive."
In re: "Labradoodle, GoldenDoodle, etc."
The "Doodleman Pinscher????"
