I have had a lot of dogs over the years- north of 30 dogs. We have been without one of our own for about 4 years now. We are babysitting my daughter's yorkie but as far as I'm concerned they are nothing more than an ornament that you have to feed everyday.

The best hunting dog I ever had was a lab. Died at about 5 years so I never got another one. Best overall dog we ever had was a Rhodesian Ridgeback; flat awesome dogs. We were around quite a few of them and raised two litters. Only downside was shed a little too much for her own good.

Someone mentioned a Jagd terrier. Having owned one and been around them, they are NOT good dogs to have for pets. They need a full time job or you will have trouble.

Had a rat terrier- was a pretty good dog. Loved riding on the saddle but the horses hated it!

Had quite a few heelers over the years. Pretty good overall dogs but not really hunters.

I just put a deposit down on a Blue Lacy. Guess Im driving to Texas next month.
