Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What breed of dog if you had time to own just one more?

I've posted this pic before. This is our 8 year old female Labradoodle, Remmie.




This evening we're going to meet this guy. He's a 6 year old Labradoodle.




His family is moving and he needs a home, so we volunteered. If Remmie and Ike hit it off we'll be a 2 dog family. We're not sure where an extra dog is going to sleep or where he's going to ride when we travel, but we think enough of this breed to open up our home to him. All the small details will fall into place.

HH that is a sweet little dog

No question, a Drent. Smart, great family dogs, tireless bird hunters, watchful, and stubborn enough to be interesting.



Or a Great Dane.....

Dutch, what is that breed? Never heard of it. Beautiful!

Hmmmm, let me think. I will go with a German Shepherd. (I know....big surprise)

It would be a Toller for me.

Though we have always had toy poodles...and I wouldn't be upset with either.
Maggie my first Toller!


Abigail my current little girl!


Abigail with my parents toy poodle Bo...sadly he passed away in my arms a couple of months ago.

Already have a young dog, Dexter, and he's a mini pins. Love him to death. if I was down to "one last dog", it would be a feist or a mutt that I could take squirrel hunting with me, in the fall. Want to take ole Dex, but mama worries that something will happen to him.....







Ole Dexter [aka butthead]

What happened? Did you have a falling out?

Is it true he's not really a doctor, but has a PhD in sociology?

I'm at the age that by time my 5 YO yellow lab passes on, the next dog may very well be my last. Two yellow labs, three black labs and a couple other good dogs have blessed my life so far. The two yellow labs have been the best. One more yellow lab, a smallish lab will be the last. My first yellow lab girl weighed 60 pounds even in her prime while the current one is taller and runs right at 65 pounds of lean craziness. I visited a breeder years ago that had a line of labs that ran a bit under 50 pounds for females which seems about right these days.

Of the dogs I've owned the two I miss the most were a male Beauceron and a male Aussie shepard. I currently have a Russel and will be looking for a blue heeler in a couple of years.

German Shepherd

JRTs are worth two good laughs and one good scream everyday.



And they love riding in backpacks! (He's really old and gets worn out after a few miles)

That's a handsome little fellow. I'll bet he was a handful in his prime.

Never get a Dane in a back pack

really

Never

I've had at least one Labrador or Lab mix for hunting for the last 41 years. If the one right now (a 3-year-old female chocolate) lasts as long as the others, I'll be at least 70 by the time she retires. If I get another hunting dog it will probably be another Lab, but if not will have a Shih-Tzu, believe it or not. We lost our first one last fall and couldn't stand not having one around, so picked up one from a shelter within a month. He's as big a blast as any small dog I've ever been around, and the Lab is even teaching him to retrieve!

Yes they are...

crowrifle, they are Drents Partridge dogs, a Dutch versatile bird dog breed. See my website in my signature line for details.

Puppies are wearing us out though. Had a cancellation of a buyer, so now we have a little male that still needs a home.
