Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Breeds of Dogs?

Never had much use for a husky/malamute type dog.

Then, I doubt they ever had much use for me either

Border collies. We don't currently have one - because our last was stolen about 6 weeks after we had to put the previous one down.
"The Warden" said - not another one soon. It's past time, again.

Only one in my little world. I love my labs! They love me, my family, and all strangers. Love to hunt as much as I do. Loaded with desire and common sense. And most importantly, they act like it’s Christmas morning for them every time they see me.

Lab's and German Shepherds.

Lab's because they're fun loving, loyal, smart, playful, joyful, happy and just great dogs to be around.

German Shepherd's because they're LOYAL, SMART, PROTECTIVE without being aggressive, curious, aloof, don't like stranger easily, trainable, playful and just great dogs to be around.

We have a Chocolate Lab and two GSD's. We'll always have at least one of each.

Nothing wrong with getting a good mutt either. Most breeds can be good, especially when they're mixed. Takes overbreeding out of the lines.

Jaxon.......GT mix........been a wonderful buddy........

was 12 in August.........he's like a Rock.....literally.......

I've owned a GSP, Brittany and Labs. I liked them all but my current GSP has been such a great friend it would be hard to pick a different breed. The truth is the breed is not nearly as important as the personality and training though.

The greatest dog I ever had the pleasure of owning was a Boxer. Personality on steroids. But sadly, like many of the larger breeds they are prone to health problems, especially cancer. It will probably be mongrels for me from now on. I have an old guy that's 15 now. I think he's part Chow because of the black spot on his tongue, but no guess after that. And aside from vaccinations, never spent a dollar on vet bills for him.

Yea buddy.

Not sure what breed Gabby Sue is, but she's a great drinking partner, though slow to give up her seat at the bar.

LMFAO................^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I like my Chessie. He's a good, solid dog, got a lot of hunt in him....smart dog and well put together. They're not for everyone....that dog will challenge me in some way, large or small, every time I take him out of his kennel. You have to be alert for it and shut it right down, or first thing you know he wouldn't be worth a schitt. He might be the best dog I ever had. I've had a couple others that were good too. One was a little redtick English bitch. She was one great coonhound right from the word go....fast, didn't mess with cold trails, and a rock solid tree dog. I had a gundog bred beagle that was a great one. He was one of two beagles I've had that you had to catch and carry out when you wanted to go home...no quit in that dog. I've had a lot of hounds, one real special one was my running Walker bitch, Cry Baby. She had a great mouth on her and would move a fox fast. Old Dusty was a cocker spaniel, my mother's dog before I was born. She became my dog (or I guess I became her boy) after I was born. Gramps had taught her all kinds of parlor tricks. Only once did Mom try to wallop my bottom when Dusty was around. Mom ended up with bandages on her ankle and nobody messed with me after that when Dusty was around.

When I set out for that rainbow bridge, I guess I better have a pretty big bag of dog food over my shoulder.

I have no idea how God packed so much love and so much energy into this 45 pound mutt. She'd die on the wall with me.

It's quite obvious she's a purebred beer hound.

All dogs like me.

Not sure how smart they are......They don't even see that cat takin' a nap on your tailgate.......

I've had quite a few dogs growing up and with our family. Hands down, without a doubt the best and most beloved dog was a chessie.



For the life of my I can't imagine why someone gave him up at the pound, but he was a welcome addition to the family and sadly missed. While we usually get pound rescues, I can see getting a chessie from a breeder when we find ourselves without a canine companion.

I've had two border collies that I adored but the smartest dog I had was a beagle. My wife took him to obedience class and he won first prize.

For a small inside dog, extremely family friendly you can not beat a Boston Terrier.

Outside dog ...anything that hunts is fine. Pointer, Lab, German Short hair, etc.
