Of the dogs I have had, my last one was the best... a Bouvier. A very well natured and intelligent dog, never had to worry about anything going missing around here, a couple non-lispy barks to alert us,,,, funny thing about him..... at night he would never bark, only growl.
I’ve thrown a pretty wide loop over time when it comes to dog breeds. Probably have had more labs than anything else, but that probably has to do with the fact that I like to duck hunt. Labs are the worst for shedding so I’ve got a soft spot for the Maltese ankle biter’s for indoors.
I have had a border collie shepherd cross, 3 border collies and a lab. Of them all, the border collies were my favourites, but I have to admit, I loved that big goofy lab. No question, the border collies were by a long shot, the smartest. The border collie/shepherd cross was the most gentle and caring. The lab was the goofiest by far. I loved them all.

Brit video, so apparently no shooting action? But, it shows the dogs working.
They are known today more for their truffle hunting abilities.

As long as it's a good dog I don't give a schitt what the breed.
That is kind of where I am at. I love dogs of most any kind. I have had black, chocolate and silver labs but my next one may not be a lab. Every man deserves at least one good dog in his life.

All GSD here. Current is a 130 lb. black male. If one of us is moving he is up and with us. Sleeps up against our bedroom door at night. Has run off a juvenile lion and a few stray dogs and coyotes so far. Not quite two years old, probably the most protective dog we’ve had yet, and never leaves the yard. We let him out, he checks the perimeter, does his business, and ends up laying by the back door. Prey drive is huge, we are working on that, it has to be channeled right when he lives on a farm.
