Which dog breed......advice needed

[Princess L]

Irish Wolfhound.

Huge dog, gentle giant.

Again, short lifespan 

[jakesonyou]

My cousin has a Jack Russell.  Very smart and friendly dog.  Barks a lot though and never tires out.  They seem to get leg problems quite early in life.

Again I recommend husky, but only if you have room.  A REAL dog is not a toy they need attention and care.

There is no dog friendlier than the Siberian Husky.  2 of mine were part wolf as well.

Huskies don't bark at all, but some howl at ambulance sirens - one of mine did.

Huskies make the worst guard dogs.  They will roll over for a belly rub from strangers.

Huskies are very friendly and welcoming to other dogs.

Huskies need a lot of exercise, but once they are worn out they like nothing better than lounging with you.

Very loyal dogs.

Other great dogs are Malamutes, similar to a Husky.

German Shepard's.

Labs.

LOL! 

Nothing wrong with being generic.  Lab's are a fantastic dog, a reason why they are popular.  For a big dog they have a good life span.  My friend's is 16 right now.

Very loyal and friendly dog.  My friend adopted his.

Mixed breeds, mixed breeds, mixed breeds... anyone who deals with dogs or horses will tell you mixed breeds are hardier, have better attitudes, and are less screwed in the head than pure breds.

Be sure ot socialize it well if you get a puppy...handle it at every opportunity...having a child in the family helps in this respect as they will carry it around like a human baby...dogs initially raised this way will not be fucked in the head.

[Coach is Back!]

How old is he?  Is he neutered?  Not that it matters, but a basic obedience class would be a good place to start (often offered at the humane society).  Even if you're happy with how your "training" is going, it's good for socialization and the trainer can offer tips on your dog's behavior.  He needs to learn how to properly walk with distractions (other dogs, bikers, skateboards, kids, etc.).  He needs to learn walking on a leash is a different type of "play"/exercise than chasing a fresbie off leash.  Do not try to "socialize" an un-socialized dog at a dog park.  It will just stress you out (and your "energy" will transfer to the dog) and could have dire consequences for him or another dog.

What's his name?

He's three years old and his name is "Buddy".

Im from Annapolis and growing up, everybody who owned a boat, seemingly had owned a lab. Even my parents had a lab. As a child, I was bit by a chocolate lab.
Now, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are cool, with the curly hair and webbed feet. A relative of mine had one.

Cocker Spaniels are demented dogs...I've wanted a miniature Bull terrier.

[Primemuscle]

It sure seems like everyone has their favorite breed of dog. As I mentioned before, since I was a baby, we always had dogs. If I went a month sometime in my life when I didn't have a dog, I'd be very surprised. Although I don't personally know how good or bad each and every breed of dog is,  I've had a lot of experience with a lot of different dogs. In my opinion, how well behaved a dog is depends on how good a dog's owner is. If you spend a lot of time with your dog and train it well it will reward you with absolute loyalty and unconditional love.

[backday]

Newfs and Goldens the best dogs ever.

I agree 

[Butterbean]

I'll put the 'Captain' up against any breed!

[El Diablo Blanco]

Doberman Pincher's.  Best dog, grow a stach and let the chest hairs out and pretend you're Magnum PI

I'd love to have mine well trained.....these Sherperd Breed makes the best Police K-9 and they're strong as shit......I was watching a documentary where one of these badboy was in police training and they had him pulling a 250lbs dummy for 25feet......amazing

[Aerian]

Get a French Bulldog.  They are cool as shit with an interesting personality and are small enough where you can take them on car rides to places and travel if you need.

[Mr Nobody]

Chihuahua

[mdn250]

The Australian Cattle Dog, blue coat, has always been my favorite dog. Smart, active, loyal, and easy to train. Very rare to see them...atleast on Long Island by me... atleast check out the breed online.
