jpb Campfire Outfitter Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 8,652 Likes: 1 Sweden	Originally Posted by smithrjd Have had many dogs over the years, some that really stick out. A Doberman, Irish Terrier (the heinous bitch) great dog but hard headed, no OFF switch. A Golden Retriever a very smart loving dog. A German Shepard great dog but had ever problem they can have, hips, stomach, died in my arms at 3 years old.. We have a Black Russian Terrier right now, a great dog. Not worried about the wife if I am traveling, Laya will take care of the wife. Very loving, smart and laid back (most of the time) They do not have a large prey drive like most guard dogs, they draw a line in the sand. Will not chase anything. Barks, something or someone gets closer they bark more, posture changes then when the line is crossed. The full guard dog comes out. I may get another, Laya is going on 11 and not a long time left. I would love to have her teach the new pup the ropes.. Another one I am considering is a Kuvasz. I'd stay away from the Kuvasz. The breed was nearly wiped out during WW2, with both German and Russian troops killing them on sight. The dogs of course were just doing what they were bred to do, protecting the home - and they were great at that! The problem is that so many of the dogs were killed that the breed passed through a very small population size bottleneck. The dogs today are very inbred and have many problems. When in graduate school, I rented the top floor of a house. A Hungarian guy with a Kuvasz rented the bottom floor. The dog was very aggressively protective. One day the owner and I were sitting on the porch and a kid about 8 or so came over to pet the nice white doggy. The owner tried to get the dog to stay, but the dog went into a frenzy and lunged at the boy's face. Fortunately the dog was still on the chain, so didn't quite reach the kid. The owner could NOT calm the dog down for a long while - a real LONG while! The owner said that in Hungary all Kuvasz must wear a muzzle at all times when they might come in contact with the public. He got the dog to do his part to keep this special Hungarian breed from vanishing, but said he'd wouldn't do it again. All the breeds that you mention would be better than a Kuvasz, IMNSHO. John

Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have. The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming. Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

wyoming260 Campfire Regular W Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 2,536 Wyoming	I like a Treeing feist or rat terrier for a truck and house dog..... just big enough to be a real dog and small enough not to be a pain. Last one lived to 18 , the one I have now is a 30 lb rat terrier that seems will carry me into my 60S and I will probably be senile by then.

I'm visiting and talking to different breeders trying to find a line of feist that will hunt but is not high-strung.
