Not even a question - Brittany! I agree but make it a true Brittany, French Brittany! You remember this fellow? A before, then after his summer buzz cut.

As with everyone else, my bias is going to show through here. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better companion than a Newfoundland. They're extremely gentle, love being around people, have a very laid-back disposition and you never have to worry about them being a trip hazard ( ). As an added bonus, the average Lab will have a higher food bill than a Newfie because Labs are much more energetic/active.

I've read that yellow labs are the most affectionate of the breed and this guy certainly lives up to that in spades as he never leaves my side. My best friend and constant companion. I dread the day,.....

German Shorthaired Pointer. A good line of them are loving to a fault , gentle with little kids and dogs, unreal smart, trees squirrels and bobcats, points quail, retrieves ducks and dove, trails up wounded deer, coyotes, etc. and keeps dimocraps from yard and home. I think the only useful trait for the op that you listed is "Keeps dimocraps from the yard and home". If this is true we all need one!

My dog Winnie is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Yellow Lab mix. She is smart, quick to take commands, protective, well behaved and a genuinely good dog. The vet says she is a strange combo, but I think the mix is just right for someone of my age and lifestyle, and even my granddaughter who is eight years old. I will get a recent pic of her this evening and post it. Looking forward to seeing her.

John, get another Lab. We added her to our family 9 months ago:

I'm very familiar with the breed. Saw one in person over twenty years ago, and was close to getting one back then. My understanding, though, is that they are a recreated historic breed, based largely on admixtures with Neapolitan Mastiffs, rather than actually the breed once used by Italian cowboys, much as the modern Irish Wolfhound is a recreation of an historic Irish breed.

Black Female pointing lab. She is one of a kind IMO. I have marveled at her intelligence since I got her as a pup. Very quickly turned into a great upland hunter. Was pointing, flushing and retrieving at the age of 10 months like a pro. She's going on 10 years old now and is slowing down but still smart as a whip. Almost human like. She's my best buddy and I would want another just like her if I could get that lucky.

I've always wanted one of them, too. Only thing that kept me from getting one was the reported behavior difficulties.

Done that twice (except, in both cases, adult dogs). Never been disappointed.

WOW - so many fine dogs noted here - good to see such knowledge and master loyalty. If again here, almost surely a Vizsla.

TRH, what do they (corso) do that a GSP can't, besides kill humans and dogs easily and drop a pound of chitt?
