Whats wrong with a fugging lab or a border collie?
Sheesh.....
No, no....I want some stupid, obscure breed of unknown health and temperament.
In this case it's a breed bred for a purpose, and as far as I know hasn't been ruined by backyard "breeders" and dumbasses that shouldn't even have dogs. Plus the 2 you mentioned, one is the dumbest breed of dog known to man, the other is a hyper dog that needs out a lot.
