Help me choose a breed!!!? Dog Breed Discussions
- I want a large breed dog • About 60 pounds to 90 pounds as an adult.- I have a cat and two small dogs (A Beagle and a Jack Russell Terrier mix) • A breed with a low prey drive would be ideal.- I have a large dog (Pit Bull) • A breed that is not known for dog aggression would be ideal.- I want a dog that would enjoy both lounging on the couch and going for a long walk. • A medium energy breed would be ideal.- I want a breed that is known for being attached to their owner, a dog that would follow me around and be more of a 'one person dog', but not be aggressive or hostile towards strangers.- I want an intelligent breed that is easily house broken. - I work from home so i will be able to give this Dog 2 hours of walking everyday, along with play time for hours a day. - I have owned a Mastiff, three Pit Bulls, a Doberman/Rottweiler mix, and a Bloodhound with in my lifetime. •All of them were trained properly, well behaved, and i owned each of them for 10+ years.- I have two nephews that visit my house so this Dog must be tolerant of children. • My nephews are well behaved and do not pull, yank, hang on, bite, etc... dogs or any other animal for that matter.- I have a medium sized, fenced in back yard.- I have a seven bedroom home.- I want a PUREBRED dog.- Please don't suggest any Retrievers... I am not a fan of them.I will do extensive research about any breed you suggest, i do not want to go to a shelter or humane society for my new buddy, this time around i want to go to a reputable breeder.Can some one suggest a breed that you believe would be right for me?Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers are BOTH Retrievers obviously, i said NO retrievers. Border Collies are a medium sized breed, i want a large breed dog.I have considered a Greyhound, but the prey drive has me reluctant to consider this breed anymore.I own an American Pit Bull Terrier and they are prone to dog aggression, i do not want to own two at the same time.. My American Pit Bull Terrier is tolerant of other dogs, but most aren't. It's in their genetics.Apparently no one read my question. - Border Collies DO not, or are not suppose to go over 45-50 pounds and i do NOT want a Retriever.Unfortunately the people that suggested the wonderful German Shepherd breed spelled it wrong. - My neighbor has two of them, i have considered this breed but i decided i would pass for a few reasons. All of the other suggestions that people gave i will do my research on these breeds and see what i come up with.
