So I've been doing a lot of research on dogs because I plan on getting one in the near future. I thought it would be a cool idea to start a thread about the different breeds and get a conversation going. Here are some of the ones I'm considering:

Cane Corso:

They are Italian Mastiffs. Great, great dogs. My dad has one. They have black coats also not just tan like in the picture. They're pretty big dogs ranging from 85-135 pounds depending on which sex you get.

Dobermann:

German dogs, they are a bit smaller then the Cane Corso, around 75 pounds or so.

Rottweiler:

They range from 80-110 pounds or so. They kind of have a bad rep, but they're actually great dogs when properly brought up.

Boxer:

Around 60-70 pounds these dogs are very playful and puppy like, yet can protect you when needed. They have a tendency to jump, and got the name boxer by always pawing at things with their front paws.

Great Dane:

These dogs are sweet, the biggest of any breed I've mentioned so far but also the gentlest. They're awesome with children.

Dachshunds are great, loyal dogs. My parrents have 2 of them at home.

bloodyfart · 04-19-2005, 07:10 PM

i had to rotties. you got to train em right. if not, they become too hard to handle.

Repugnant Abomination · 04-19-2005, 07:13 PM

Yeah I read they're not for beginners. The trick is just to socialize them, all dogs really. Keep em around kids and other dogs a lot while they're young and be firm and consistent with disciplining them.

Repugnant Abomination · 04-19-2005, 07:59 PM

Weimaraner:

A solid, medium sized dog that likes to swim and retrieve, only downfall is I hear they have a ridiculous ammount of energy.

Carnivorous Flavor · 04-19-2005, 08:10 PM

weimaraner is the best choice so far.....i dont look to a dog for protection...but it is nice to have another set of eyes and ears around in the woods.....ive been quite the outdoor sports man in my time.

i have a beagle....40 lbs....big feet, dumb as dirt.

bloodyfart · 04-19-2005, 08:12 PM

I agree I used to have 4 of them wiener dogs but when I broke up with my ex last year he gained full custody......I would like to own a miniature greyhound now but they're expensive as far as paying for a dog goes....

Ironic Mustache · 04-19-2005, 08:13 PM

CF love his dog dearly.

Repugnant Abomination · 04-19-2005, 08:29 PM

Rhodesian Ridgeback:

The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a powerful animal but is non-aggressive. Loyal and affectionate to its family but wary of strangers. A good guard but only barks when necessary.

They are fine muscular scent and sight hounds with great endurance, which were used for lion and big game hunting. These hounds, which are brave but not foolhardy, would track their prey and drive them towards the hunter.

I'm seriously thinking about this dog.

Schroeder · 04-19-2005, 08:38 PM

Here is what I one day hope to own. Corgis are by far the coolest dogs ever. They are pretty docile, and super intelligent.

Titan, do you still have yours?

Congratulations: You own the best breed of dog.

They get a 10.0/10.

Beebs · 04-19-2005, 09:02 PM

West Highland White Terriors

Definatly the coolest dog you can have and keep inside. Managable size, terrior spirit, fun, and can actually cook a full english breakfast every morning.

Niger Angelus · 04-19-2005, 09:05 PM

My brother has a lab/retriever.

Mr. Blonde · 04-19-2005, 09:05 PM

I wouldn't mind getting an Irish Wolfhound:

Or maybe an Irish Terrier:

or a German Shepard:

Or lastly, I just found out about this dog a few weeks ago, a Belgian Malinois, which are very similar to German Shepards:

I will own one or two of these 4 dogs.

Repugnant Abomination · 04-19-2005, 09:09 PM

Irish Wolf hounds are ridiculous!

Mr. Blonde · 04-19-2005, 09:10 PM

Yeah I know, I don't even want to know how much it would cost to feed one of those fuckers

Ugly Bastard · 04-19-2005, 09:15 PM

I wouldn't mind getting a Greyhound:

Or a Morgan:

I used to have one; Cody, great dogs, if you do, go through Adopt-a-Greyhound, where you can adopt greyhounds that are "past their prime" in racing, because if they don't get adopted they get put to sleep.

Right now we have 4 dogs back home, a German Shepard mix, a Fox Terrier mix, a Red Heeler, and last week we got a Labradoodle that I have yet to see yet. I'll post pics of them later if I feel like it.

Repugnant Abomination · 04-19-2005, 09:41 PM

A Labradoodle? lol dear god.

If they are anything like Belgian people, they would be furious with you for implying they are similar to Germans.
