re: Best dog to get?

Great Pyrenees are adventurous and fun-loving

Where are you? If by chance the Houston area check out Camo rescue. They’ve got some beautiful pups.

I have a buddy who had an Aussie. It snipped at me once so I bit him back on his ear. He was my padnuh after that.

What has been your experience with yellows compared to black/brown?

Our yellow male was very driven and full of energy, but very skittish. He was scared to death of thunder and fireworks, granted, I didn't hunt with him. My wife was convinced he had doggy autism. I hunted with my black female, which nothing scared her.

But that was just him, I've seen yellows that were really good hunting dogs. Every dog can obviously be different.

Like I said in my previous thread, our current chocolate is friggin hardheaded, and does what ever she wants, until I put that electronic leash on her..

Another, they have these silver labs they're breading now, I was told they're dumb as shite.

Bulldogs and Frenchies are fun but high maintenance. Health wise and sometimes training wise.

PSA… read up on any breed before you get one so you know what to expect.

Any dog would be fine with young kids with the right amount of training (unless it’s a rescue/older dog and already has some established habits). The better question, to me, is how much time do you want to spend with the dog? German shepherds are incredible protectors and usually good with kids when raised around them, but are very high maintenance and require lots of walks/energy drainers and will be tough to have if you don’t do keep exercise them.

We opted for low maintenance since we have full time jobs and kids that demand more of our attention. Our golden retriever is now almost 4 and he’s perfect. He’s on the bigger side for the breed (90lbs) and can be a bit of a bull in a China closet, but he was awesome with my newborn despite never really being around newborns before. He loves EVERYONE—even the mailman. He’s happy to just be around us and he’s fine if we miss some walks. Some dogs struggle with listening when they’re not tired, but he’s smart and still listens to commands extremely well even if he hasn’t been walked. He pretty much just sleeps until we start paying attention to him. Best dog I’ve ever owned by far.

Puggle. Beagle Pug mix. Loyal, kind, and smart. I've had two. Both good girls.

Rescue dog that is climate appropriate to where you live.
