I've been on the verge of getting one of the various modern efforts at recreating the Victorian Era English Bull-Dog for about thirty years. The Valley Bulldog is likely one of the most authentic looking of them. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.ioeba.net/images/emerald_coast_brooklyn_valley_sm.jpg)

Be a deterrent to non-thugs too. SOB that is a mean looking critter.

I don't live in a gated community, yet have never, in my 52 years, been the victim of a house break-in/burglary. Can't be a coincidence. I'd rather live in a decent community than rely on dogs and guns. We don't live in a gated community and crime is almost non existent. Not recommended, but my wife has left here purse and keys in her unlocked car over night in the driveway, and everything was there in the morning.

If I were interested in a German Shorthaired Pointer, I'd find a Deutsch Kurtzhaar breeder. The Kurtzhaars are bred to the original German standard.
Along the lines of the Cane Corso being recreated,...
The true Blue Heeler is actually an extinct breed. What people refer to as "Heelers" today are actually Australian Cattle Dogs.

The true English Mastiff went extinct during WWII. There was literally not a single one left alive after the war. They recreated it largely from Great Dane and Bull Mastiff stock.

Beagle, without hesitation. Our current one is an Old English Pocket Beagle, 12 pounds and 10" of pure energy. A real lover for sure!

After the war, folks wanted English Mastiffs, so there was a market for recreating them.

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.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff242/toby0223/OV4N0271_zps46702409.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff242/toby0223/IMG_0012_zps10523f21.jpg) How could I even forget Tobey?

Just a companion?
Schnauzers are awesome. Standard or mini.
Heeler would be way up my list as well. Airedales are great. Both are high energy animals usually.
Honestly, unless I was looking for a specific working dog, I'd hit the pound.

Either another Shiba Inu mix or Kia Ken. Best dogs I've had. Friendly and are as active or lazy as you want to be.

My neighbor has a Wheaten Terrier.
Great dog! Does not shed, smart as a whip and very loyal and loving.

TRH, what do they (corso) do that a GSP can't, besides kill humans and dogs easily and drop a pound of chitt?  Beyond being a companion/pet, my main secondary purpose for a dog is property and personal protection, so intimidation factor is a major part of my preference. I don't live in a gated community, yet have never, in my 52 years, been the victim of a house break-in/burglary. Can't be a coincidence. One factor in my selection is the type of dog that burglars and muggers say in surveys that they most respect and would be least likely to test. I can say the same, but pointers have also helped put a lot of wild game on the table, plus bobcats and coyotes on the ground.
