Which dog breed is for me?
Which dog breed is for me? Dog Breed Discussions
I am thinking of getting another dog in maybe a couple years or so, and I would love to have some recommendations. I'm doing my research early :)I currently have 2 German Shepherd mixes (that I got from the pound) (I believe that they may also be mixed with Border Collie). I am looking for a pure bred dog this time.Size range: Australian Shepherd to German Shepherd (medium to large breeds)I am looking for a breed that is loyal and smart, not independent and aloof.(Breeds that are loyal but independent such as the Jindo are a "no".)Exercise is not a problem (I walk, jog, rollerblade, and bike with my dogs), but breeds such as the Akbash dog that need to live on acres of land are a "no".I do not want a "heavy" body type such as Pitbull, but rather "lighter" body type such as the Golden Retriever and Border Collie.Coat (not hair = poodle) should be medium to long. No very short haired coat such as the Mastiffs.(Finally,) too much drool (such as the Saint Bernard) is a "no", and I would rather have a higher energy dog.Suggestions please... Thanks!
