You guys have heard me talk about Thor...he's a Boston. Boston's are not good in the cold, or hot...They have tons of heart, and are smart as a whip, just not very stout.FWiedner wrote:Pitchy, have you thought about maybe a Jack Russell Terrier?
They're smallish and I hear that they are smart. Or a Boston Terrier?
I don't have either one, but I hear they're good dogs.
Me, I like big dogs.
What are you looking for in your dog? (Other than being low slung)
Yepper been looking there some, thanks bro.Tycer wrote:http://www.petfinder.com/dog-breeds/
Apparently he was never around German Shepherds or Standard Poodles, both of which I've trained extensively, in addition to Dobies and Rottweilers. Dobies arent even in the same class as those two breeds. Dobies are simply a Rottweiler bred to a Greyhound, and neither of those are at the top of the dog intelligence list.Rusty wrote: I actually ran into a guy that used to raise dobermans that told me if you've ever owner a doberman any other dog you're around will seem retarded.

History.
The Doberman to this day is credited to a man named Louis Dobermann, he was a tax collector in Germany and developed the breed to use as his guard dog, he used a variety of dogs that each had unique traits that he wanted for his 'new' dog. Although which breeds he used for certain are not completely known, it is known that he used a Rottweiler, a Great Dane, a Manchester Terrier, a Greyhound and the German Sheppard. There are also a few other breeds thought to be in the Dobermans heritage but it's not certain. Louis Doberman first started work on the breed in the late 1800's and in 1889 they were officially recognized by the German Kennel Club. They were often used as police dogs and also tracking dogs, the breed developed in America after the 1st World War as many American soldiers became so attached to the breed they took them home with them.
Thanks pard and i`d like to believe that is the case.Rusty wrote:Pitchy,
I know as much as you miss your snoop dog consider this, you have Mrs Pitchy.
Little Snoop dog might have latched onto someone in that 1,500 lot trailer park that doesn't have anyone. Maybe God thought that someone that lost their lifelong mate needed a little pard with a quiet loving personality to be a companion in a time of need that nobody else could fill. God just used you to deliver that angel of love to the right place at the right time.
I will be surprised if that one does not come home with youPitchy wrote:This Beagle is at a dog shelter about 50 miles from us, we haven`t gone to look yet but looks like a nice dog.
