I have 3 rescues, they are very appreciative. The worst dog I have is a full blooded Chocolate Lab/hunting dog. I found a Boston Terrier down off the Trace by the farm, she is most appreciative and spoiled!

Mutts are greta, very little expense at the vet compared to full blooded little dogs. My Veterinarian friend loves those high breeds! He and his family travel often to foreign lands thanks to those jokers. laugh

When my wife went through alot of depression I took her over to the local pound because she was wanting another dog. I let her pick it out. They think it was a retriever/lab mix...but whatever she is she has been a great loving dog, and now 2 yrs old. At least check out the pound.

Make yourself a checklist for your true intentions for this dog, then go from there.
ANY feists or terrier is going to be prone to hyper behavior, especially the first few years. Understand the health problems for each of your top selections. If you go the full blood route, check out the breeder for health problems. If you choose a hunting breed and have intentions for hunting, then make sure the parents have hunting skills, and not just picking a breeder of a hunting dog whose dogs aren't used for hunting. If inside, shedding may be a factor. If outside, labs will chew down brick walls between 6 and 36 months if left unattended.
I like well tempered British Labs, cocker Spaniels, Brittany spaniels, Boston Terriers (despite their hyperness). Golden retrievers and Irish setters are nice. And I've heard good things about golden doodles and labradoodles.
We have a French bulldog that is a great pet, but hard headed at times. Bull Terriers are athletically unique and have the most interesting personalities of all the dogs I've ever owned.

I agree with the female boxer. I had a boxer/lab mix that looked like she was primarily boxer. Hands down she was the best dog I had ever owned. Very intelligent, loyal , protective and loved my kids. She passed away at 14 yrs old. It tore me up but ever since her I have loved the boxer breed. Just my 2 cents

I'm partly on board. Partly against it.

We got a free border collie, blue heeler pup. I don't know chit about dogs. Never had one since I was young. This one snips at my kids and actually draws blood. I don't blame the dog, but that pisses me off.

I just don't know what to recommend.

Do not get a border collie unless it is going to be an actual working dog.

Mrs. Irish and I will eventually get a dog, but it won't be until our lives are to the point where we can give a dog the attention and time it deserves.

My son in law who is a big time hunter (and my daughter and grand kids too) they have always had a Labrador Retriever and they have been good dogs, good with the kids.

Original mtn cur. My boys love mine. She's around 35 pounds and strong as an ox and would fight a grizzly bear for any one of us. And she's extremely smart.

Heelers need to have work to do. If not they will try to round up or heel the kids and the nipping is how they do it. High energy dogs need lots of work. we got rid of one because it did the same thing and we just didn't have time to spend with it. Gave it to a cattle guy.

smaller dogs tend to be more aggressive, boxer use to be considered the best dog for children, with dalmation being the worst.

Any dog will potentially bite...that's kind of up to him, not you or what a breed standard says. Our dogs have never bitten anyone, young or old, but when people ask me if he'll bite, I always tell them they'll have to ask him!

We have had boxers for years, extremely good dogs. Ours has been around my son since he was a 6 months old and has watched after him ever since.


I don't always hunt the line, but when I do, I make sure I'm close to my neighbor's 8 acre bean field.
