Dog Breed
"Plague" wrote in message: I am attracted to the following breeds for various reasons: Doberman, Great Dane, Bulldog (American & English) , rottweiler, mastiff & bloodhound. What is it that attracts you to these breeds? Are you okay with breeds that have a higher likelihood for dog aggression? How about dogs with protective/guarding instincts? What are you looking for in terms of trainability? Exercise requirements? My wife is attracted to the following "breeds": labradoodle (mongrel), and collie. As you already know, labradoodles are mutts, and such, their looks/temperament is not entirely predictable. What is it that your wife likes about this that she doesn't like in either a Lab or a Poodle? Is she okay with meeting the grooming requirements of a Rough Collie? My daughters are attracted to the following breed: Dalmatian. Why? How much involvement do you think they will have in the day to day care of the dog? My personal opinion is that you are probably better off with an adult dog than a puppy, with three little kids around. Puppies are a lot of work and tend to have higher energy and training requirments than adults. It would not be difficult to find a mellow adult of many of these breeds, that is already house trained and good with children. Suja |
