Tell me about your dog "breed" & why their great.

We rescued an older female Catahoula 2 years ago. My daughter volunteered at the Friends of the animals on Highland road to get volunteer hours for school. We came home with her. She is a great dog. Loves outside and chasing squirrels and birds. She is great around kids as well. Only negative is they shed like crazy.

Mine is a Cockapoo, Kiki.
She’s extremely smart and the most affectionate thing ever.

She understands:
Sit
Stay
Heel
Break
Find it

ETA and her big brown eyes will melt you. She’s a sweetheart

I have a Catahoula and nobody other than immediate family is coming in my house or yard unless we allow it.

We lost our lab who was absolutely the best dog ever last Sept. He was 14.

Prior to him dying we had already decided to get another dog. My wife had seen a bernese mountain dog at a local nursery. It was a very sweet dog but never demanded attention.

So, she found a breeder in Alabama and we put a downpayment on the puppy. We picked him up in October.

He absolutely demands attention most of the time and at 8 months old he's around 80lbs. He's a very handsome dog and has the sweetest personality. They are bitey though. Especially as a puppy, with sharp teeth. They bite. Not hard and not trying to hurt but that's how they try to tell you they want attention. That's gotten better as he's gotten older but still wants to put his mouth on your hand, but not hard. Just what the breed does.

He will be somewhere around 100lbs, He truly is a very good dog. Very smart, very friendly and very sweet.

ETA: he's strong as shite. Even at 8 mtgs old he's very strong.

All of my dogs were useless in that scenario. Think pitbull or my last mix, that identified as a pointer showing an intruder where everything is.

PUG (2) and they are in a new world every 30 minutes. Dalmatian, first one was the best dog ever so smart. This new one (4 yo) mean as shite and hard headed.
others are rescues and mixed breeds so cant say much. but a ChiWeenie is a mean arse dog!!

She’s a stud. Boss dawg!! Beautiful

She’s beautiful

I'm genuinely interested in a working hound

Do you plan to work him? I have seen so many people buy a dog that’s intended to work and then not work them and get agravated when the (coonhound howls, cow dog chases everything and Terrier digs and on and on)
I have a choc lab and have used it for duck hunting and trailing deer but now he’s 12yr old now so he just lays around.

Not exactly sure what you’re looking for in a dog, but damn it’s hard to beat a beagle. I’ve had a few, just some backyard bred beagles that have been great.
